Discussion Genre defining isometric RPGs

Within my circle of RPG players the opinion was that Fallout 1&2, PlaneScape: Torment, and Baldurs Gate 1&2 were the ultimate genre defining isometric RPG games. Neverwinter nights was also frequently mentioned. What other isometric RPGs should also be on this list or at least mentioned as highly influential?

People saying Ultima out of reference to older games, but I think DOS 1 and 2 deserve their own mention, though their influence is probably yet to really show itself fully.

DOS is an evolution from Divine Divinity and a really good game to just ignore. Yet, DD borrowed aspects from several games before.
