Anyways, I recently got the 3.5 version and am currently learning it with my girlfriend - beats any computer game.

My Online favourites.

1 - Final Fantasy VII
2 - Eye of the Beholder.
3 - Neverwinter Nights (played with my girlfriend via multiplayer)
4 - Elder Scrolls.
5 - Baldurs Gate.

Although not a RPG as such, my favourite MMO is WWIIOnline. I find online roleplaying games to be rather limited (played Everquest, city of heroes and D&D Online).

Only reason why I dont play as much pen and paper D&D is that I dont know anyone interested in playing.

You have a good girlfriend.


Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 are easily my favourite games ever. I've played through them so many times.

my favorite rpg's are Champions of norrath
Champions Return To Arms
Final Fantasy (any of the games)
Everquest
Baulders Gate 1 and 2

If I have to pick one, I'd go for Planescape. You can't say you've experienced fantasy if you haven't played this.

Hard-core rpg players must love planescape: torment, 'cause I think the story and the dialogs are the most important part of a c-rpg and torment has it all.
And my personal favs are fallout, fallout2, planescape: torment.

vampire the masquerade because i love vampires and i love rpgs so in my opinion it totally rocks

[Metal-Earth]

It Has to be Baldurs Gate SOA only becouse it was my first ever Rpg there are many games that are better at certain things but BG has it all

[C-K'R[PhoEniX]]

Baldur's Gate 2 is still my favorite because it is the first D&D RPG I have played, although I am fascinated by Planescape: Torment which I'm playing right now (it's much more deep).

Don't get me wrong.... I love newer style rpg's, but nothing compares to the classics! My favorite is Pool of Radiance followed later by Pools of Darkness. no-one does strategy quite like S.S.I. did! and I don't think anyone ever will for that matter.

NWN2 and MotB. Oblivion is also another great game. Can't wait for Fallout 3 and Dragon Age.

[Drahzeem]

My favorite RPGs would have to be:

The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind

Fable: The Lost Chapters

KotOR (both of them)

The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion

These are in no particular order by the way.

I think Oblivion is the best.

The best RPGs I have played would be Fallout 1 & 2 and PS:T.

Story, choices and well written dialog are the things I enjoy the most, and those games are very good on those fields.
I love the Fallout scenario and the freedom and choices you have there. Great writing too, love the humor.
And I like how your choices has an affect on the end movie.

PS:T is just an artwork of story and NPC interaction, its insane. I have never felt so connected with a chr as I ended up being with the Nameless One. Had a real sad feeling when the game ended.

Honorable mentions would be Morrowind, BG 1 & 2, The Witcher and MM6.

I love the lore and freedom of Morrowind. Also in the aspect that I am let to myself with not much help from the game, few scriptet things, not a good journal, but I'd rather have that that having it hold my hand like Oblivion and tell me what to do every minute.

BG was one of the first RPGs I played and I had read alot of Forgotten Realms books, so it made the experience that much better aswell. Very well rounded game, BG 2 aswell.

The Witcher, didn't thought much of it when I saw it in the store, but I was very positive surprised by it. Good story, with nice choices and consenquenses. And the best combat I have seen in a first/3rd person RPG.

MM6, again one of the first RPGs I played, and just really liked it.

It'd be nice if there was a simple thread where everyone just made a top 3 list of games, no talk or anything. Just for reference.

For story, it'd have to be BG2 or Kotor 1 and 2. For characters, Kotor 2 and for gameplay Oblivion (and to a lesser extent Morrowind).
