Was Bert from Sesame Street part of the dev team. BOTTLECAPS for currency? You'd have to recall Bert from thr 1970s though.

Cyberpunk 2077 has Evelyn Parker.
Dragon Age: Inquisition has huge dragons.
Wolfenstein the New Order has dual wielding.
Underrail has cats. (so you can blow them up with grenades)

Fallout 3 had end credits which signified that I never had to play that turgid pile of dogshit ever again.

It was fun killing the sentry in the first quest in The Outer Worlds and using her sniper rifle to just kill everyone in the town rather than talking to any of them to solve the quest.

Mass Effect 1, had nice visuals for the time.

Mass Effect 2, Miranda's ass.

Mass Effect 3, reading Bioware forums after release.

Dragon Age 2, the concept was decent even if execution was horrible.

Dragon Age 3, I think one music track was nice.

Oblivion, it does a decent job simulating forest hiking.

Fallout 3, the writing was so bad it actually managed to be funny.

Skyrim, solid foundation allowed for modders to turn it into a decent game.

Fallout 4, some pretty looking areas.

Pillars of Eternity, it made me want to replay Baldurs Gate.

Age of Decadence, I heard CYOA fans liked it.

NWN 1, some great modules.

NWN 2, some great modules.

Diablo 3's art still holds up really well. Does it look like Diablo? Not really, maybe superficially but the quality of the art is really great and the game still looks good after almost 10 years. I'm quite sure if you took exactly the same art style, Diablo 3 ROS gameplay and a different game company made a similar game with vampires (or whatever) instead of demons, it would have been a smash hit but it's not what I expect of a Diablo game.

The planescape torment pitch document is pretty funny
Morrowind is actually tolerable if you're high as a kite
Grimoire resulted in the best review thread on steam (shout-out to GJW)
If it wasn't for the Witcher game series, we would never get THE AMAZING TV show we all love

If you completely give up any hopes of the story starting to make sense and ghost-stealth through every level, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is actually pretty fun and challenging.

Yes, I finished it. Lets just say Grotesque Tactics 2 is the best of the bunch. And still it's not very good, with only several interesting combat scenarios.
