I'm actually a major fan of fallout, but the games didn't have the same impact as the elder scrolls, they are great games all of them, but If I had to list all great games from the past 45 years I would need a lot more room.

That's fair. I think fallout has had a really big impact, but it's hard to compare the elder scrolls and fallout in that way, and tbh I prefer not to since I do enjoy them both. I do think fallout 1 and 2 had a bigger "impact in gaming", may have been able to slot them in but the late 90s are slammed lol.

Well you have an advantage here because I did not play fallout 1 and 2. I know, I read that it is in many ways better than all of the titles after that, but during that time it went past me. It wasn't really the type of game that I played and before fallout 3 I never even heard of it (never heard of the elder scrolls before oblivion either for that matter)

So you could certainly be right they should be in there, I forgot to research them because as you said that time is already stacked.

But it's not only that, I thought I would have covered it with a lot of the big names that are similar in that regard, and create standards for those type of games.

I might have made a mistake by listing neverwinter nights instead of those two games though, or at least one of those two. I listed neverwinter nights , because it is also used for educational purposes in video game development.

I also played neverwinter nights.
