The Elder Scrolls games for background in the story sense, and Morrowind and Oblivion in particular for the aesthetics. As far as story goes the Elder Scrolls lore goes into the 1500 pages, I think, so it's damn detailed. Aesthetically, areas like the Ascadian Isles (Morrowind) and most of Cyrodiil in Oblivion are some of the best I've seen in games. Granted, I rarely play and my PC is crap (so I only saw Oblivion's beauty in screenshots, unfortunately...), but apart from the pure eye-candy of the scenes I really enjoyed immersing myself in those environments.
One trick Morrowind had was that most of the game is actually played in an ugly landscape (the Blight, the Red Mountain, certain parts around the coast) so that when you reached an area of beauty you would really appreciate it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
