Lol @ the notion that PoE is 'overrated' in this neck of the woods. Or even NWN1 for that matter: to praise either is a surefire way to trigger the hivemind.

Anyhow, Morrowind should've been #1 and PF:KM #2. Both are solid games but nowhere near the masterstrokes some make them out to be.

Not really, at least regarding Pillars. Some think it's absolute shit, while others (like me) think it became quite good with White March and all the updates and fixes.

I enjoy the White March Expansion from Pillars 1, and it doesn’t take much time in game to reach it. The expansions for Pillars 2 are the best part of that game as well, but they are very much end game content.

Morrowind staying in 10th place even while being the second most downvoted game really displays the power gap between the top 10 and everything else.
