Do you watch films without a story, or just go "Ooooo pretty pictures".
Do you read books without a story, "I like words!".

Stories are what makes games good. What separates Halo from MW2, or Doom from Quake ? They are essentially the same game, but with a different story.

Story and Gameplay are two key features of a game.
Stories are generally good only once. It is good gameplay that keeps you coming back for more. In the case of comparing DA:O with BG, I never finished a replay of the former due to the gameplay being repetitive, while I finished the latter game five times. And although the story of BG was great, it was the excellent squad-based combat, filled with tactical options, that kept me coming back for more.
