Oblivion had good music tracks. That's all I got.

The Outer Worlds had a bunch of nanas. For all that talk about food shortages, there sure were a lot of fruits and vegtables lying around everywhere, so players can eat healthy. :obviously:

Fallout 4 lets you send Preston to the Murkwater settlement, so you can watch him getting punched by a mudcrab queen whenever you feel like it. :hahano:

Fallout 3 had slavery. Not the pussy version of FO4. Real human slaves. Even kids. Gotta give them kudos for going that dark. :salute:

Fallout 76 has radtoads. I misread them as "RadTodds", so punching them with a powerfist was oddly satisfying.

When you exit Quake 1 and 2 where every single level is made with the same 5 brown textures, you can appreciate how beautifully colored the real world is.

Fallout 3 had that eyes adjusting to natural light callback to the Fallout narrative text upon exiting the vault cave.

With The Last Of Us 2 we got this amazing video:

Not to mention some amazing memes that continue to piss off Neil Cuckmann to this day.


0:56 Didn't expect to see Houseki no Kuni in this video of all things. Very underrated series. One of the few things written by a woman that isn't complete shit.

That Which Sleeps made me understand how nigerian scammers are able to still make money.
There are probably still people yelling on the kickstarter page that if the haters would just shut up the game would come out.

It was still sanitized as fuck. The game had no sexual threat or predatory options for the PC. No, I don't need rape in Fallouts but this was still too obvious. Fallout went mainstream, and changed its influences (A Boy and His Dog, Mad Max 1&2) to family-safe ones (Tank Girl movie adaptation).

PoE has good party building.

Tyranny's concept is pretty fucking solid and many RPG's should copy it.
Yes, I liked Bronze Age with Real Gods
Might & Magic IX was the only thematically sound MM game.
No
Dungeon Lords is (probably) fun in co-op.
I doubt it
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance - see above.

Fallout 3 was the logical successor of Fallout due to FO 1) being basically a single character game because of fucking stupid companions and 2) being combat heavy but combat was super boring and not engaging.
Your logic is stupid
Arcanum like FO had dumb dialogue, taking attributes beyond pure abstraction.
No
TES: Arena is just fucking beautiful and atmospheric and a fixed class system is much better and more :obviously: for a TES game.
No
Ultima VII / BG had an interesting foil/ nemesis.
Yes, and was also one of the best games of all time...
Lands of Lore II had panthers flinging what looked like lethal poo at you, cracks me up every time.
No
Inquisitor has interesting character building options (not talking about how viable those options are).
Inquisitor also had an interesting story and atmosphere buried under a totally broken gameplay system, especially the horrid combat...

Oblivion's simulation elements were interesting and could have been the foundation for something cool if they didn't get ripped out come Skyrim
