I have spent uncountable hours on both Neverwinter Night (the rocknesses game ever!!!! 
) and BG 2. I'm going to have to say that the Neverwinter has better gameplay and graphics but BG 2 has an owning storyline. Combined, they rule over any other game

Fallout 2. Thats it.
Well... Me and my friends used to play some kind of Live-Rpg in the school, where i would be the "surroundings" as we called it (everything except my friends' characters/gamemaster), and some of those are actually pretty cool too.
But still... Fallout 2. Thats final.

Equalization is good.
Payback isnt.

Baldur's Gate. The very first one.
Even though I enjoyed playing other RPGs like PS:T and the Longest Journey, and know BG2 is better in all aspect (probably except storyline), still my heart says BG1 is the best.
I don't play that many games (I rather play one game many times), so if you ask me about my favourite RPG of all time, it's BG1.
Followed by Suikoden IV. Again, I know it is not as good as I and II in particular, I love this one, especially with Suikoden Tactics which is the supplement to the main story of IV.

I'm surprised you liked Suikoden IV so much. I actually thought it was the weakest in the series (I really thought the first three titles were wonderful). It took me a long time for it to get into it enough to play it for more than a few minutes at a time. I haven't ried Suikoden Tactics. It's always interesting to see how diverse people's tastes can be, even when they liked the same basic genre of material.

You are not the only one.
The game is more interesting if you play through twice. Also, I like collectiong things to make new armours or accessories, so the encounter is not a problem for me (unlike many who complain about it).
I personally think Suikoden IV and Tactics were originally planned as one game with the 4 hero as main character all the way (I heard Konami originally intended to make the game SRPG, as Tactics is, instead of RPG and abandoned the idea as production started). Then, due to lack of money and time, they ended up cutting off story line, making it weaker as story goes.
It is worth trying, especially if you have clear data with all 108.
I am just looking forward to getting I and II on PSP. And V, of course.

I finally played it through a few months ago. I ended up liking the game (though the graphics and characters were very bland to me), but not loving it. The plot could have been brilliant, but was too unrealized in many places for my tastes. You're assessment about the two games belong together is probably right. I was just upset, because I thought Suk. 3 was a brilliant RPG in many ways (and the first two installments in a different type of way).
Anyway, didn't mean to derail the thread, but I don't run into many Sukodien fans around these parts.

Ultima VII... best of the Ultima series in my opinion, which ranks among the top RPGs of all time - talk about groundbreaking.
Planescape:Torment; a staggering creative force brave enough to venture where most developers do not.
Baldur's Gate II; best all round RPG I've played. Excellent characterisation, gameplay, story, graphics, pace, dialogue - polished, very highly polished.

*sigh* ok, i'm coming out of the closet. i like The Bard's Tale best
i admit, until i recently played TBT, i liked BG1 and 2 best, particularly the original one, even while hating the level caps. What's appealing in all three of them is a balance between humour, sometimes metagamed type humour, and a compellingly laid-out storyline involving challenging fights and situations (at least for me.)
i haven't finished TBT though, getting a bit disappointed at the huge xp bonuses for doing nothing but talking to people and some incongruous monster placements, but i love it, all the songs and characters and voices. i keep getting the sense of a very different group of folks collaborating to make TBT than usually make rpg's. The story is truly all-important, not the "hero's" statistical development or little game gadgetry, but that's my bias toward content. i like the scaled down menu section too with the simple medieval tune, and as a bonus i get to look so cool doing the dual wield stabbings
As to how it's affected my life, well, i've lost a great deal of sleep over it already. *ahem* Plus it's almost like playing my own personality. Albeit i am a sardonically-inclined, earthy, no-nonsense male who can't ever seem to make it with women like The Bard, but still... ok, might not appeal to everyone...

Nice German -> English translations going on here, from what I see. Although I'm not quite sure what the translations have to do with the thread.
