A discussion was had in Shoutbox today which raised an interesting question.
What would the cRPG equivalent of this graphic look like?
Do we have anyone on the Codex who is both qualified and capable of creating a cRPG version of the above graphic?

- AdvancedHero:
Then wouldn't that make Rogue the king of all cRPGs? 
AdvancedHero:
or NetHack?
Pink Eye:
^^^
Latro:
it's not preposterous, diablo really did have a big influene
Gregz:
yeah, it did- AdvancedHero:
Diablo is a real time clone of Rogue - Latro:
whether it's good or bad is up in the air (to certain people) - Gregz:
I'm not sure what PE is trying to say 
Fairfax:
"Pink Eye: Oh wait that's what Dracula says. That quote is like a meme, cool." It was added in the allegedly poor translation and became a meme yeah- Gregz:
AdvancedHero: Diablo is a real time clone of Rogue <- yes, this was the intention - Pink Eye:
Me either Gregz. I need to rethink my thoughts. - AdvancedHero:
Gregz: So I'm saying that by that logic, Rogue is the king influencer according to them

rogue is certainly a king influencer - Fairfax:
It is - Pink Eye:
Alex: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.p...utely-an-rpg-explanation.130206/#post-6350281 <-- Oh hey I read that one. Back when that thread was still new. - Gregz:
I don't know what 'king influencer' means, but it reminds me of this graphic http://www.wardshelley.com/paintings/pages/fullpics/HistSciFi2.jpg - Alex:
I am afraid I was a bit too long winded in my argument. - Gregz:
and if there was a cRPG equivalent of that graphic, Rogue and Diablo would be pretty large - Gregz:
and Rogue would precede Diablo - Gregz:
and BG2 would certainly be large, and precede kingfaker - Pink Eye:
Fallout too - Pink Eye:
I think Fallout was a huge influence on some games - Pink Eye:
well 1 and 2 anyways. - Latro:
nah - Gregz:
yeah, it would be complicated...but Wasteland would be large (not as large as Fallout), but the direct predecessor - Latro:
there's not many fallout-likes - Latro:
diablo-likes yes, roguelikes, yes - Fairfax:
You can have a great influence without having many clones - Alex:
It seems there are a lot less rogue-likes being worked on nowadays than 7 years ago. - Latro:
true, but would it be a "king" influence - Fairfax:
I think so, look at Ultima Underworld - Latro:
king implies it creates its own genre imo
