Fallout 1&2 and Wasteland, I've started playing it and it's a brilliant game.

[Mephisto]

There is loads of RPG's out in the world
but when you come to think of it - not many of them are all that good!
what a good RPG studio like bioware or lionhead or blizzard need to do is make an all time shokker of an RPG with cobinations of fable diablo jade empire and other games. Anyways i think the following RPG's are some of the best ever

Fable
Jade Empire
star wars KotOR 1 & 2
Diablo 2 lord of destruction
dungeon siege 2
the eldar scrolls 3 and 4 (kinda)

this is the main games i like,
prob what other people like

Any ways thats enough about me

it was runescape!!!!!the leaast talked about game on any forums(besides adventure quest, which was also fun) i played runscape so much that that was all i could think about and i was staying up till 1 am playing it and the my p.o.s. bro caught me.(hes got a think for hating every game i like)

Best RPG I ever played was one from the Sega Megadrive, about 12 years ago......
It was a D&D game, scripted by Gary Gygax the Father of RPG, and it might have been called Warriors of the Eternal Sun.
That game was my first experience of an RPG on a computer (of sorts) It had mystery, some wonderful plot twists, just when you thought you had the game sussed, something would happen to turn it upside down. I absolutely loved it, once spent a whole Saturday playing, well into the night, completely forgot about a rendezvous I had with some friends...

Since then games have improved enormously in terms of graphics and sophistiction, but after a while most things come around, and you feel you've seen it somewhere before. I wish I could play a game that really blew me away like that original game, but I guess its like losing your virginity, you can never have that experience twice

[stormrider27]

all time favorite is wizardy 7 I played that game solid for 2 years back in the early 90's
I bought the x-box just so I could play morrowind
I will be buying 360 for oblivion.
Also the baldurs gate series
and KOTOR

Baldur's Gate 1. Technically BG2 is a more polished all round game but the first one just blew me away when I was 14 or so and still love it today. I probably learned more from BG than I did school.

FACTAMUNDO.

I find that remark strangely disturbing.

[Magrus]

@Destinasi, I liked Magic Candle. Neat little game.

@ Maximus, I remember that game! I loved that game. I tormented the hill giants by using the terrain against them.

[enagonios]

Baldur's Gate. It turned me into a CRPG/Forgotten Realms Novel geek.

[311junkee]

super mario RPG is what got me started so it's number 1

all the FF's are close tho...FF 1, 7, 8 are the best of FF

[Hildace]

My favorite RPGs:

-Chrono Trigger (still love this game to death after all this time lol)
-Final Fantasy 7 (best of the FF series, didnt think that much of 8 and basically havent played them since then)
-Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 + xpac (completely owned)
-Fable (great game but as i can remember it was really short)
-Dark Age of Camelot (yea yea i know it's an mmo and all =P)

Havent played icewind dale, Planescape: Torment, kotor1 or 2, nwn 1 or 2 yet.

I'd say i liked Diablo 1 and was thoroughly disappointed with Diablo 2+xpac, found that Morrowind was fun but nothing amazing, and was disappointed with FF8. I'd like to put ninja gaiden up there but i guess it's classified as 'action' lol. Oh and FF Tactics was a lot of fun but i wouldnt say one of my 'favorites'.

I was hoping for bg3 to come out and then what i got was nwn, and i decided to not buy it at the time. Although i might be purchasing hte diamond edition soon to give it a go

[Heksefatter]

The very best:

Baldur's Gate I and II. First game that caught me enough that I couldn't play it through with another character - it would be trespassing on my original character's story. Splendid side quests.

Fallout 1 and 2. Loved the retro-future. Like the main story of the first the most, but the side-quests of the second game were fantastic. Loved my marriage and annoying the hell out of a doctor from whom I was collecting protection money.

KotoR I. Perfect Star Wars athmophere, though this can be a double-edged sword, I quite liked it. Story fit and commented on the universe much better than the supposedly more nuanced Kotor II.


Almost there:

Arcanum. Interesting universe and some really great side quests. Great take on the generally stagnant RPG universes.

Planescape Torment. Great dialogue and plot. The gritty universe did turn me off a bit, however.

Vampire Bloodlines. Only RPG I've ever played that contained some decent puzzles. Great remake of the paranoid vampire universe if the pen and paper.

[orexis_mort]

guildwars (not factions tho as that was a rushed game in my eyes)

and as sad as it sound runescape, due to the fact it was the first ever rpg i went on

[Tricky]

On top Vampire Bloodlines, for all its flaws it gets so much right (namely a 'modernized' RPG implementation and excellent storytelling) which in my opinion is still all too often done wrong in other games. Next comes Chrono Trigger, the only game that almost cost me my grades. Thirdly Nethack, my very first RPG experience.
