Arcane
1) story/narrative;
Knights of the Old Republic 2 (even with its unfinished, rushed and anticlimatic ending; have to play restored content mod one day!)
2) exploration and overral ambience;
Witcher 3. No other game until Fallout: New Vegas (which I played a year later) gave me so much joy when checking what is around the hill, on the top of the mountain or in the valley. The great visuals and art design did help too!
3) choice and consequence system;
That's a tough one. Witcher 1 or Fallout 2. I'll go with Witcher 1, because it had an interesting way of presenting the consequences.
4) strategic battles;
Baldur's Gate 2. Mind you, I did not play Temple of Elemental Evil yet.
5) character creation/progression.
Arcanum or Fallout 2. Ok, Arcanum for the two paths (Magic and Technology) plus dozens of abilities.
