I chose not too put Fallout due to it being recent, while TES last released a game several years ago.
And I like Fallout 3, but it pales in comparison to F1 and F2.
Uh wait what? F1 and 2 are a decade old and are pretty much the definition of golden CRPGs. And I thought when I said excluding F3 I indicated that I don't consider F3 of the same caliber
