Fallout 3 (and New Vegas) also did this well. (Destiny)

They also were good at telling stories without words; in Fallout 3 I still vividly remember breaking into the quarters of an Air Force General to get something for a fetch-quest, searching the house, and finding in the bathtub a skeleton, four empty liquor bottles, and a toaster. The story told itself; I didn't need to read a suicide note to know what that General thought would come of his orders to turn his launch keys.

-- Steve loves that sort of thing.
