I should say, so far Jade Empire's story isn't exactly original or surprising... it's fun anyway, thanks to the good Bioware writing, good graphics, and fun gameplay, and because cliche stuff can be fun anyway, but yeah, the plot so far (fairly early in the game, I'm just in the second town doing the quests there, after the extremely predictable "your village gets destroyed" first town) is definitely predictable, more so than in, say, the Baldur's Gate games.
