Nope. It just slowed the decline. Good RPGs with high production values are extremely rare. We have witchers, divinity and pillar/tides(maybe) . Dragon age 1 was the last true Bioware RPG...

Fallouts lack stories (except new vegas which mostly lacks sequesls).

I highly recommend Underrail - while the graphics are a bit simplistic (it was made entirely by a Ukrainian programmer/artist), it's the closest we've got to a modern Fallout 1/2.

I'm also looking forward to Obsidian's new game The Outer Worlds, seems like New Vegas IN SPACE.

I played Underrail a while back but didn't get too far. I do want to go through it fully at some point. Is it worthwhile? I also heard the developer is working on an expansion pack of some sort.

Speaking of modern Fallout 1/2, this game just came out:

I'm kind of waiting for the initial round of reviews / reactions before deciding on whether to give it a shot.

Dragon Age suffered EA-fication along with Mass Effect. Even then I never thought it was even close to Baldur’s Gate. Part of it about being too edgy and tryhard but I did played it. My favorite part was the underground exploration part specially having Shale on your group. That was immersive AF and I did completed it in one go.
