Favorite RPG Of All Time
Pick one RPG that has changed your life (or was just alot of fun) and tell us all why. Mine? Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. It has still been the most phenominal gaming experience in my life and showed me that there were more to games than using cheats to kill your friends in different ways (Goldeneye of course). It was the first of many times I have shunned the real world to be left alone with my fantasies of being some sort of great hero because never before have I been so sucked into a game's story. To me it is the crowning achievement of rpgs and will never be bettered. Thank god this game was made or I don't know if I'd have dreams at all.

1 - Baldurs Gate SoA. Still disapointed with ToB, though.
2 - Fallout II.
3 - Chrono Trigger.
With BG I "discovered" D&D. With II I've fallen in love with it.
Fallout is very good storyline, with very Roleplaying way to game.
CT is CT. Different, complex, hard, nice, totally good.

Chrono Trigger would probably be my favorite console Rpg too, as it was a great game but I didn't play it until years after it was released. Had I found it before SoA it'd be my favorite of all time... It's a shame that game isn't talked about more; it gets lost in the discussions of the Final Fantasies and KOTORs.

Fallout 1 and 2.
The design documents for Van Buren looked like a helluva lot of work was going into Fallout 3 before Interplay shut Black Isle down, because of financial issues. Bethseda will not come close to making a good Fallout game.

"It's not whether you get knocked down, it's if you get back up."
Planescape: Torment and Baldur's Gate 2 are probably my all time favorite RPGs. PS:T for its rich and engaging story, and BG2 for its combination of expansiveness, gameplay, and story.
Still, old console RPGs like Final Fantasy 2 and Dragon Warrior 2, have a dear place in my heart as being responsible for "hooking" me on RPGs.

I haven't heard anyone mention any of the Might and Magic games yet, which surprises me because I always thought they had a very dedicated following. I do, however, agree that they weren't as good as say the Baldurs Gate, Fallout or KOTOR game, so may not appear on this list. Any thoughts however?

Fallout 2 is the only game that has had enough power to alter the course of my life.
I always quote Fallout and it's jokes are permanently engraved in my memory, personal favourites are:
"Shoot him in the ass"
"There are decaf brands that are better than the real thing"
"It does nothing"
Sometimes out of boredom I'll do that weird "Use Animation" that looks like your character is typing on people or objects just to be silly.

Other than that the only other game that I could compare in replay value is Baldur's Gate 2, that game I've finished what must be 20 odd times by now.

1) Fallout 2
It's just so great game, high replaying, good story, very high freedom of choice, funny. The list can be continued almost forever.
2)BG II, SoA - ToB
Great game, good story, characters are very personals (which can be seem especially in dialogies between your party members), lot's of things to do.
3) FF7
THe very first FF game I've played, and I liked it. Not sure exactly what made it so good, but it just is

I would, but you wouldn't pay me.
Mine... probably KotOR.
