Unfortunately quite a few of Tim Cain's games have been rather buggy on release (Vampire bloodlines, Fallout, Temple of Elemental Evil) and extensive community fixpacks exist for them. I like a lot of his work, but a lack of "polish" was always his weak point.
New Vegas is great but in FO2 you can get married and then sell your spouse into slavery. You can become a porn star or perhaps just a fluffer. You can become a boxing champion or even a child-killer or slaver.
Silly, yes, but the amount of freedom one has in the isometric entries is staggering.
One of the things I regularly think about is the "Cafe of Broken Dreams".
I've found myself in dive bars and coffee shops around the world that make me think, "Oh, wow, this is like the Cafe of Broken Dreams" when it seems a lot of people there are down on their luck.

Arcanum remains one of my favorite RPGs.

So: Arcanum, Disco Elysium, Fallout 1/2... The superfecta.

First person just doesn't cut it for me.
