1. DAGGERFALL - used to scare me into heart-thumping scared-sillyness in dungeons.
2. Planescape Torment - it made me laugh a lot and I loved the puzzles.
3. Oblivion - still doggedly playing this one for lack of anything comparable.
4. Morrowind - played this to death.
5. Neverwinter Nights - an good game, like all the old BG stuff, but much too linear. Got some good characters in it.
Some honourable mentions:
The Might and Magic games (but NOT Heroes of Might and Magic, which I was rubbish at) - which are also very linear, but I loved 'em all.
Albion - well, not actually the best game in the world, but I loved it despite it's failings! I'd play it now if it worked on anything but ancient computers.

I would have to go with Final Fantasy 5. The class combinations and switching make the game really compelling and keeps the fighting fresh throughout the game. It's that type of customization that I now look for in rpg's.
World of Warcraft was also a fun experience. It was the first MMO that I actually enjoyed, not that I tried many MMO's before it. It's just a shame that WoW doesn't really go anywhere.

Always remember you're unique ... just like everyone else.

Erm... what's that, where does it plug in, how does it work, is it complicated, will it bugger up my system?kmonster wrote:Albion is playable with any modern computer if you use the dosbox emulator.
Oh - and is it expensive?

It's free and with a bit of brains, you should be able to get it to work.
Check it out here: DOSBox, a x86 emulator with DOS

Getting a bit offtopic sorry
It's not a plugin, it's a program you operate much like command prompt (cmd.exe)
You run games while in the program
It's a program that emulate DOS allowing you to play most DOS games fine
It is a bit complicated to set up if you've never used DOS or cmd. Otherwise it's not much of a problem.
It's absolutely free

Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines
tied for first place with
Baldurs Gate II
BGII because it drew me into the world of CRPGs and have made me neglect studies for years. Still play it.
VtM Bloodlines because of the amount of ROLEPLAYING it has brought me. Sure, it is deeply and hopelessly flawed in terms of bugs and glitches, but it is such a complete roleplaying experience and such a FANTASTIC rendering of the World of Darkness such as it is intended (with more horror and less dramaqueeny moping) that I forgive it ANY technical problems as long as I could keep play it (and I could, thanks to the official patch). It takes a GREAT roleplaying game to make up for such a technicaly HORRIBLE game.
