Anyone care to list their favorites? Do you prefer the classics, or the new ones? I'm interested to find out.

| | Ok. I'm in(volved).
Of course current ones BGI & II
and I have to say Stronghold (1993) It is very unique.

| | Where to start?! http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/eek.gif Arena the Elder Scrolls was good,nice spell customization. Daggerfall was a good idea but I could never play it more than partway through due to bugs.I liked Anvil of Dawn, Stoneprophet (better than Ravenloft), the Might & Magic series esp. Isles of Terra and World of Xeen.
Thunderscape was alright good variation in weapons and skills.I didn't like Arkania much a little too realistic..wearing out boots,broken weapons etc.
But my all time fave so far is a tie Icewind Dale and BG series. Sorry about the book http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/redface.gif |

| | Personnaly, I like the Final Fantasy Series (except for 8. Big let down to me). Breath of Fire 1-3, Chrono Trigger, BG2, PL:T, V:tMR, The Quest for Glory series, the Legand of Zelda series (Ya, I count em as RPG's) Secret of Mana, Shining Force 2. Geez, the list goes on! Most of them were back in the days of the classic (days of the SNES) but, the classics will always be the best, no doubt.

| | Shining Force was one of the best Sega RPGs ever. Don't forget Phantasy Star. Lunar the Silver Star and Vay for sega cd were pretty good too http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/smile.gif I hadn't even been thinking about console games, out of sight out of mind I guess.

| | Sorry to say I never had a Sega. Couldn't afford two gaming systems at a time. I wish they would have made the games for all systems. |

| | I think Lunar(sorry last post had a typo)came out on PS recently. I had the sega console and one of my friends had the snes so I only played a few of the snes games. Chronotrigger was good but I had limited playing time with it http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/frown.gif |

| | My poor old PS is collecting dust. This computer is taking more and more of my time.
As for CT I never finished it my self , other things got in the way(Marriage and Kids) I've decided to be there when my niece finishes it . I'm so glad she likes these type of games , my daughter doesn't.

| | I have seen a lot of good RPG's posted by all of you, but I really do feel that you are leaving a game out of your listing.
My personal favorites would consist of the old AD&D games, but I would most surely include Darklands. I know that this game had its flaws and bugs, but it was truly an awesome game.
It is the first game that I played, where I was freely to roam around as much as I wanted. I also loved the character generation process that they used.

| | All Time favorite:
-Daggerfall (Despite the bugs, idiotic system requirements for its time and troublesome dungeon navigation).
Good second:
BG2.
The game I am waiting for in 2001:
-MorrowWinds (what else..) |

| | I loved Daggerfall, because of the freedom in the game, and because of the way your skills only increased if you used them. You could only become a better thief, if you ran around and pick pockets and opened locks, and not by killing monsters. Ofcause it was bugged, but after some patches, it was playable.
Fallout 1+2 is also a favorite of mine, great gameplay/story.
Eye of the beholder also holds a place in my heart - one of my first RPG's.
And now BG1+BG2 ofcause - the best RPG in many years. |

| | I'm looking forward to Morrowwind too. It's not going to be as random as the 1st two games so hopefully that means fewer bugs. Arcanum looks like it might be interesting too. Both are supposed to come with level editors so there should be plenty of things to do! | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
