This should probably be in the Game Discussion forums.

You've tried PS:T, @Bluestorm? Because if you haven't, you really should. It's a remarkable game, easiliy one of the best RPGs ever made, if not the best.

No surprises guessing where my vote went.

I wonder what the poll results would look like if everyone had had the chance to play PS:T?

Oye this is a hard one. I never really got into ps:t or icewind dale...though i got em both in a pack for 10$ I love bg and fallout. I guess i had to say baldurs gate cuz it opened up the door to me for rpgs, including fallout.

I voted for Fallout, because without Fallout, there would be no Baldurs Gate, no PS:T, no KOTOR. Fallout also gave you a huge freedom, and you could actually be evil and kill everybody without the game becoming impossible, and still getting as much experiene points as "the good guy". I haven't seen this again until KOTOR. The postapocalyptic theme was nice, too.

Your timeline's a bit off. BG1 came out a year after Fallout but was already in development for two years before it appeared. The actual influence on Bioware's titles, which they admitted upfront during interviews at the time, was Ultima VII: The Black Gate.

BG:II SoA - the first game I ever really owned, and still my favorite!

Argh, I can't chose! How can I decide between the main core of my CRPGs??? I'll have to hit PS:T as the number one, but the rest all come pretty damn close behind it, especially Fallout 1 + 2. Here's hoping Fallout 3 is as good!

Cheers all,
TGHO
