It would be good if souls like games could have starting story conditions that are more or less the same on each play through, but player actions in the world (i.e. order of boss completion etc) lead to the story developing along certain lines in a dynamic manner. Each main boss has a character arc they are following, and the actions of the player to either ignore that boss / part of the map or engage with it immediately will lead to the progression of certain storylines over others, also providing a lore explanation for scaling up boss difficulty.

In my mind, something like Dwarf Fortress could be a great candidate. Each interaction and character has (and changes) a plethora of variables which affect the behavior and relationship. Those could then be used to generate fitting dialogs etc.
