| | | From the ones listed, Fallout. Definitely a good game, both of them originals, and the BoS, even though not a success, was fun to play.
I havent seen mention to Baldur's Gate there, but I'd vote BG if it was on the list. |

| | Of the mentioend, I voted Eye of the Beholder, because it was amongst the first RPG-ish games I ever played (actually - I think it was the second), but with DaggerFall getting Elder Scrolls into an honorable mentioning
Although of the listed, Fallout was likely the best in my book.
Edit: Phantasie 1 + Phantasie 3 was the first RPGs I played (C64 ports to the PC). Excellent games, well ahead of their time.

| | | Definitely Fallout 2. I played BoS also,but its not nearly as good as Fallout 2.
It was my first RPG and it is a very fun game.
And Xandax if you have time,please answer my pm.

| | Ultima, at least, through the seventh title. I would just as soon forget the last two ever happened.

| | | Ultima for sure. Used to play them as kid, when gaming had nothing to do with jaw dropping graphics or ear blowing audio. It was all soul back then. |

| | | I voted Elder Scrolls, seeing as Morrowind was one of the few RPG's I played through, enjoyed, and played again, but the KOTOR series is a close second if not tied, i was surprised to not see that one up their, while KOTOR II was defintely lacking in my opinion, KOTOR I is in my top ten list of all time fav. games... *reminds self to make that list*, they did a stellar job with it, i hope that when it comes time to make KOTOR III, Bioware does it again. |

| | | I tried to stay away from recent titles like the Star Wars: KotOR series and left the Infinity Engine series off the list because I figured it would be a landslide if they were included. These options basically represent the classic RPGs from 2000 and before (excluding Morrowind). |

| | | I voted Ultima... it made me realize I was different from the other arcade-game-playing jokers: I was into RPGs.
However, I want two votes! While Ultima (and later, Baldur's Gate) felt like I was part of a great *story*,
SYSTEM SHOCK felt like I was part of a great *movie*.
But, the entire list... it's all good, baby!

| | This one?
I did not know that Baldur's gate had an infinity engine, but then again, I never played it. If you ever saw the amount of posts in Baldur's gate, it does kind of give away why Baldur's gate would not be included, however...
I had several favorites up there, but for some reason, when viewing the poll, I saw that no one had voted for the original (?) Bard's Tale, so I went for it. Although I enjoyed many other games up there, I thought that Bard's Tale itself deserved at least some recognition. Although Ultima would probably be up there too...

| | I picked Eye of the Beholder, I haven't had the chance to play the original, but I did play a newer adaption though Neverwinter Nights and really liked the storyline. 
Other than that, I've only played Morrowind from the Elder Scrolls series on that list. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
