Yeah but how many people played STALKER 1 vs FO3 or Skyrim? I'm absolutely confident there were indie games with better storytelling at the time and there were far older games like Planescape or Systemshock that were doubtlessly better as well. But people didn't play those at the time. For a lot of people, Bethesda games were the best they saw. This is not an endorsement of Bethesda lol
STALKER and FO3 both suck major ass at conventional storytelling, albeit for different reasons, you'll find no objectives that Planescape or Systemshock or an indie game blow them out of the water, albeit indie games pre 2007 is a pretty small category on account of you needed a publisher to send those DVD arounds, you just got like a lot more weirdo A or AA games instead of the AAA++S-Rank shit only you get today.
Enviromental storytelling though I've still not seen STALKER beaten, albeit I fell off the wagon per gaming a while ago. Mind giving some examples here?
I also think STALKER and FO3 would've been popular in similar circles back then, STALKER was called oblivion with guns before FO3 came out
