I love that Fallout is now thought of as a first-person game, but it started as a turn-based isometric team RPG in 1997 which was, itself, a near-remake of a 1988 game, which I spent hours playing as a kid.

And then a few years ago, Wasteland was also revived in the style of the first two Fallout games.
Yes, I know I'm old.
I still want to go back and play the first 2 fallout games. I wasn't aware of them when they came out, so I wasn't introduced to the series until 3.
They're amazing. I highly recommend it if you like games in that style. The first two Baldur's Gates were also like that (I haven't played the latest).
I do! Although I do think I prefer BG3's turn-based combat vs real time w/ pause.
They are turn-based, not real time with pause. I prefer the former too.
Oh good! That's awesome to hear. I think I might even own them from some bundle in steam, but I just haven't gotten around to playing them.
