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.

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).

My problem with KotOR II characters is that they could have been developed so much better if the game was properly finished.

I have that same problem, but they're still awesome.

Fave RPG's

Not being a heavy console RPGer, I like the handheld RPG's on the GameBoys and Nintendo DS. Personal faves are:
Dragon Warrior I/II/III
FF 1,2,3,4,5,TA
Golden Sun 1&2
Pokemon

On PC, I also have a few RPGs I like, including but not limited to:
Exile: Escape From The Pit
Dungeon Lords
DB Quest
Pits of Angband
Dragon Quest (admittedly more of an old-school text adventure game but has good atmosphere and high challenge factor.)
Excelsior: Phase One Lysandia

I also like Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness for GameCube.

If my PC faves sound unfamiliar, it's because they are REALLY old games, two of which are shareware. And PoA is circa late-80s. DBQ is fairly simple, but gets addictive easily. Cliched but good story.

And even though it's a dungeon-crawler style RPG, I like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, as well.

ive played alot of rpgs and i found that hack and slash where my favriote

1 champions of norathh PS2
2 champions of norathh 2 PS2 (im finding very easy even on legendary mode)
3 Baldurs gate 1 PS2 (ive read alot of the books on drizzt dourden the "dark Elf" unlocked on the gauntlet)
4 Baldurs gate 2 XBOX (sad to say i sold this game and now i try to buy from game stop nd they want 50$ for it used")
5 Morrowwind XBOX (i wish i had a cpu good enough for this game but my XBOX game of the year version has given me 700+hours of game play. i think that all rpgs should give u the freedoms this game does and all the items and weapons clothes etc.)
5 Dragon warrior 1 NES (i just bought this game again. it was my first rpg. i got it for 5$)
6 all the final fantiesies have been fun 10,10-2,12, and i got the one for game cube but i think it stinks

Qubel · Post by **Qubel** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 1:31 am

only one eh? tough:O

Baldurs Gate 1 was the game that introduced me to the world of RPG and eventuly was responisble for makeing me an RPG addict

and it will therefore allways hold a spicial place in my heart, but it was NWN 1 that made me love RPGs, and i just cant chose between them, and plz dont force me to

i love both

Fallout 2 is the best game I've ever played.

bushwhacker2k · Post by **bushwhacker2k** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 12:08 pm

May be lame to post on this forum but... Deus Ex is by far the rpg that affected me the most. Never played any game so fun, and the storyline is incredible.

Grizlok · Post by **Grizlok** » Thu May 01, 2008 3:19 pm

Deus Ex is most certainly an RPG if any first person game can be called one.

Such an amazing game - terribad sequel, but great call. FO2 BG1 and DX are 'RPGs' that left long lasting memories.
