This is why I don't respect video games as a storytelling medium.

One of main problems with that game was bad writing. There were still some individual moments I liked, durance for example.

Some of the Ultima games have pretty good writing

I think you're observing the matter from the wrong perspective.
You talk about storytelling medium. From a narratological point of view, video games offer plenty of good insights on matters such as story-worlds, narrative stances and so on. It would be stupid to make a comparison of quality between different media (books>vidya! or viceversa), but on specific matters video games have shown the potential to enact narrative strategies that work very well - see, for example, the whole "unreliable narrator" thing that comes out of Bioshock or Spec Ops: the Line.
Now, if we're talking about writing, as in the qualities of the prose of written paragraphs such as the one in your image, I agree that probably there isn't a single example of "video game with literary value". However, I argue that video games are not made to do that, and it's silly to expect that from them. "Storytelling" and "literature" are two very different things.
