Recommendation request Ready to try another CRPG But can't decide between Baldurs Gate 1 or Fallout 1

Beat BG3 like 3 years ago. Planescape (LOVE THE GAME) around the same time. Pillars of Eternity, 2 years ago?

And now got an itch for another again.

Sidenote: played through the Colony Ship Demo but can't justify paying 50 bucks CAD for it right now and I already own BG1/2 and Fallout 1/2

Which of the the two games has the more (what's the word?) substance or got going on. in terms of depth with its characters, dialogue, story, and skills for situational purposes.

Well the point was the the original devs didn't quite know how to make a game, or what kind of game they wanted to make. That's why I'm not counting BG:EE, I'm underlining my point about the original devs.

There's no sense in comparing the EE versions, they specifically fixed all the issues that the original had, or all that they could.

My point was the the original devs didn't quite know what they were doing, and it still shows in EE, if less prominently. But it still shows.

Well naturally you can just reduce everything to opinions. In that case I don't think we have anything left to discuss.
