honestly theres more debate, New Vegas has taken over as the clear hardcore and modding favorite and it looks like the next season of the tv show is taking place in New Vegas.

Yeah but Fallout 3 was a benchmark in so many ways and New Vegas being more popular by revisionism doesn't change any of that.

Using real-life Mount Rushmore logic to snub Baldur's Gate 3:

Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar
Planescape: Torment
Deus Ex
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

It felt important to me to have at least one pre-2000 WRPG and at least one sci-fi WRPG.

Having more lasting influence and popularity is exactly what makes you worthy of a Rushmore.

It's sorta just reversed a bit recently within the fanbase itself in regards to popularity. It feels like arguing gen 1 should not be a Pokmon rep because the fanbase doesn't prefer it. And for influence it's not even close.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

i don't know jack about WRPGs but surely WOW has to be more represented than this?

yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness

WoW is an MMORPG, which is generally considered a separate category. It's the same reason I didn't nominate Rogue.

Deus Ex is an Immersive Sim more than a WRPG

Also most of B8 hasn't played it anyway

I think it could be but at the same time its descendants arent as RPG focused (Dishonored for example) or you could even argue are more influenced by Diablo (Borderlands and Division)

although sure can see a case for it and System Shock 2

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Golf Story
Ultima VII: The Black Gate
Baldur's Gate 3

You could almost just do Elder Scrolls 2-5 for this, but I wanted to keep it to one. Morrowind, when it came out, was such a cool, immersive experience, and a huge leap from Daggerfall. Skyrim is great, but Oblivion is more funny than anything. Golf Story I think just barely counts, a unique combination of genres; Black Gate was the best old-school Ultima and maybe the first WRPG I ever played, and Baldur's Gate 3 seems like the best modern example.

azuarc wasn't even home. he was playing Magic the Gathering at his buddy's store, which is extremely easy to verify
