Does count Fallout and the first Baldur's Gate as open world games?

Keeping it retro:

Ultima III: Exodus - It doesn't seem like many Ultima fans really care for this game, but U3 got me into open-world RPGs in the first place.

Some honorable mentions include:
Metroid series
Dungeon Magic: Sword of the Elements (something of a hidden gem on the NES)
Dragon Quest I and II
Final Fantasy I and II
Romancing SaGa (and most other SaGa games, for that matter)
King's Field series

I recently started daggerfall, never played back when it was first released. It is fucking great. I like the dungeons and their maps is sick. It's scary how huge it really is. I had to change the keyboard setup a fuck ton to get it comfy. You can walk for days and there is some glitchyness that adds another level of play. I haven't even left daggerfall province yet.

Shenmue 2. To this day no game world felt as real and as alive to me as Hong Kong and Kowloon did.

Is that so....

I sure think so.
It's a shame they were so lazy with much of the quests and the writing in general. It drags all the good things about it down a bit.

I'd have to say my favorite is Morrowind. It has the richest and most immersive world I've come across in an open world game at least, despite it's technical problems of course.

... just make sure you play the Dreamcast version with the Japanese voices and not the terrible English dub!

The Metal Max series

I'd rather have bad English than good gibberish.

Ha ha, that's racist

I assume you watch dubs too?
