Incredibly large number of ways to resolve any situation, and one of the best, and most flexible, opening sequences to a game that I've played to date.
Open world RPG, fit on a single floppy disk. Start out as a slave, work you way up to leading (or suppressing!) revolutions. Less narrative heavy maybe, but still a great game, and one of the most groundbreaking IMHO. Needs more appreciation.
While I'll admit Baldur's Gate was a first for the very large amount of text included, it isn't like western RPGs were devoid of storyline prior to 1995.
