January 9, 200521 yr by this I mean the entire BG series with all expansions against Fallout 1&2. Also I chose not to include "both" or "other" or similar options because its more interesting that way, and also such points can ve expressed by posting said opinion without voting. In this day and age there has been two stars on the CRPG heaven who shined brighter and whiter than all others. They are the basis from which all other games are judged and many are the voices who cry out in despair that developers seem completely unable(or rather unwilling?) to match the greatness of these ancient giants. Apart from being just another witless poll, could we have an argument why developers seem to ignore the lessons taught by the success of these games?

January 9, 200521 yr Yup. That effectively killed this thread. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
January 9, 200521 yr Why did the poll get removed? It was very valuable... DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
January 9, 200521 yr Author yes.... even though the poll was just another poll it did fill a certain function.

January 9, 200521 yr Definately Fallout. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that FO was the first RPG I ever played, but it was such an intense and brilliant game IMO. BG was brilliant tooo ofcourse, but I'm not really into the "hardcore" DnD rules, I just want a great game. IMO, BG depended too heavily on those rules.
January 9, 200521 yr I love Fallout, but BG2's tactical combat just about edges it out. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
January 9, 200521 yr Fallout still stands as a superior roleplaying experience to Baldur's Gate as far as I'm concerned.
January 9, 200521 yr Fallouts were simply better. (even if they didn This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
January 9, 200521 yr fallout. to be honest, i never really was able to get in to baldurs gate. it was a good game and i finished it, but not to the point where i would agree with a lot of people who seem to love it. :ph34r:
January 9, 200521 yr The Fallouts oozed with better atmosphere and style, but the BG's were superior in gameplay and fun. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
January 9, 200521 yr Fallout series. There was a greater possibility to do what you wanted to, in BG it was just go here, do this, kill that, then go there, repeat, no real puzzles. Also, random encounters were good fun. However, I think BG had a superior combat and gameplay system; combat in FO was way too slow.
January 9, 200521 yr Fallout. Never got into BG1 (loved BG2 though) My preference would be something like: Fallout > BG2 > Fallout2 > BG “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
January 9, 200521 yr I prefered the BG series...maybe because I prefer fantasy over sci-fi/post-apocalyptic settings for CRPGs. I also liked being able to control the NPCs in combat - I got sick of Ian emptying clip after clip into my back. Also I found the "adult language" taunts of FO dare I say, a little immature? Granted you could turn it off but it didn't add much to the game IMO...unlike bloody mess.
January 9, 200521 yr BG the orginal .. it was the first game I ever became truely addicted too! BG > Shadows of Amn > Fallout > Fallout 2 .. Fortune favors the bald.
January 9, 200521 yr Baldur's Gate 2 > Baldur's Gate > Fallout 2 > Fallout J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
January 9, 200521 yr BG2ToB> BG2> BG TotSC>BG>Fallout Tactics I didn't play Fallout neither Fallout 2 only Fallout Tactics and I didn't like it as BG Series PRIUS FLAMMIS COMBUSTA QUAM ARMIS NUMANCIA VICTA
January 9, 200521 yr Although both games are great, and often replayed, the Fallout series is no doubt my favorite. "Who could blame Skynet? He's such a cute, innocent, steel-bolted robot." -Gauntlet
