2 game series come to mind for me. > Fallout 1+2. The level of detail in the world and story, and how your decisions affect your character and the dialogue choices, is just absolutely amazing. I haven't played too many RPGs, but nothing else has come close to me. The incredible amount of things you could do in that game that were handled by in game dialogue was incredible. If you married person A in one town, or killed person B in another town, that might come up in some dialogue tree in a completely separate town. It was just incredible how much detail existed in this game. Plus you could shoot bad guys in the dick. > X-COM: UFO Defense + X-COM: Terror from the Deep. Let's be clear, the graphics were pretty dated back in 1994. But my god, the feeling of tension you have trying to find aliens and kill them is unmatched by any game. Seeing snippets of movement when it wasn't your turn actually mattered. And the different game phases (base-building, air combat, and on-ground missions) were all connected so clearly. The modern sequels (XCOM: Enemy Unknown, XCOM 2, and the fantastic War of the Chosen) are rare examples of genuinely very good sequels. But they lack that true sense of terror that I think was built up in the original.
