My personal favourite RPGs of all times:

1. Star Control 2

2. Betrayal at Krondor

3. Eye of the Beholder 1&2

4. Might&Magic 6

5. Dungeon Master 2

Mine is definitely Planescape Torment, followed closely by Baldur's Gate II.

Deus Ex gets an honourable mention, and Knights of the Old Republic II also has a special place in my heart.

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.

Albion is playable with any modern computer if you use the dosbox emulator.

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.

He, I'm just replaying FFV and it sure is darn good.
You're right about WoW, though. After a while, it can't hide any longer that it is just grinding. I did enjoy the game as long as I had good guild-mates and we RP'ed a lot.

Kotor 2 or Morrowind. Really can't decide.
Kotor 2 because of drama+jedi/sith philosophy
Morrowind because of the complexity

Erm... what's that, where does it plug in, how does it work, is it complicated, will it bugger up my system?

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

Thanks, guys! Sorry about off-topicing thread.

Fallout 2 & Diablo 2 i the best ever RPG game i have ever played & im looking forward to the Fallout 2, Diablo 2 & most waiting for far cry 2 ,ya i think its gone bet all of them

1. Stonekeep - best game ever, ever I say!!
2. Bg SoA - The Owlgame, me and my brother played this game until we fell asleap in our chairs, we call it owlgame cause the strugle in keeping awake made us look like an blinking owl.
3. Morrowind - The freedom!!
4. Kotor 1

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.

World of Warcraft, the first game make me crazy, and go on now...

Pretty cool web-based vampire RPG.

Some favorites

1. Baldur's Gate 2
2. Fallout 1
3. Fallout 2
4. Star Control 2

I never heard about Star Control. What is it like?

SC2 is fantastic, I think you can download a version call The Ur-Quan Masters (since Star Control 2 was trademarked). Its worth playing today. Great ship advancement, immersive story and addictive starship combat.
