[QUOTE="DavidBVal, post: 58045, member: 2"] I'll give a "historical" perspective. Fallout is one of the "tier zero" rpgs, not only fun and interesting but also set the bar incredibly high regarding quest design and puts to shame most quest writing in modern rpgs(including EK). It was a milestone in originality, extremely influential to the genre and you can't compare it to any others in the list, IMHO. Its influence is not just about its own Fallout franchise, but about how it was the true precursor for the Infinity Engine games like BG or PS:T. And because everyone writing a quest in the following decades would directly or indirectly be measured against the standards set by Fallout. Being older, maybe Wasteland comes close and can be considered a precursor of Fallout, but mechanically it was derivative of Wizardry and it was not to influential so I'd put it in "tier 1". [/QUOTE]
