Best RPG ever?

Simple question.

For me it was Final Fantasy 7, I loved that game. Although I haven't played that many so...


What about you guys?
 
tie: Wasteland, Fallout 1, Planescape: Torment

runners-up: Bard's Tale, AD&D "gold box" games, Ultima Underworld, Fallout 2, Baldur's Gate 2

I haven't played Arcanum, Morrowind, Neverwinter Nights, or SW KOTOR yet though.
 
Quest for Glory series.

It is freaking cool that you could export your character from an older version and import it into a new version.

Gosh, those were the days... games aren't as good as they used to be back in the day... *sigh* (this coming from a 19 y/o! 🙂)

Baldurs Gate 2 was pretty fun. I also enjoyed Deus Ex a lot.

Gah, the Baldur's Gate series. I think I should amend my previous post to just say Bioware games. 😉


I also really enjoyed the Bard's Tale series.
 
Some fo the old Ultima's were fun back in the day..

Since then though RPG's have just become the work of guys who are not up to par with being a movie director that lay a story out for you to just follow along, not a single branch in the stories anymore.
 
D&D 3rd Edition with the open D20 rules is very nice. The systematic game theory makes it a natural as the basis for the computer games that have followed with a D20 basis, like Neverwinter Nights.
 
Knights of the Old Republic?

Just hoping it is being it's sitting on my desk unopened and it cost me $50 🙂
 
dragon warrior for me
i never got too much into RPGs but DW came with free with the subscription to nintendo power my parents got me as a xmas gift. so i played the crap out of DW and a few of the FF games. which ever ones came out for the NES or SNES in the early 90s
 
Chrono Trigger - Game is just beautiful. Combat system is unique, the music is perfect.

Secret of Mana - One of my first RPGs. I put sooooo many hours into this game. Also fun to have a friend grab a controller and get in on the action with you.

Final Fantasy 3(6) - You cared about every character in the game, even though there were a metric f*ckton of em. The Opera Scene? Nuff said.

Xenogears - Prolly my true favorite. Elegantly dealed with theology, human nature, philosophy. The combat system is the best yet, imo. The story was perfectly pieced together. Plenty of side quests to do. The boss battle was creative in the way you could weaken him. The cast of characters really awed me. Who didn't want to be Grahf or Id when they played?
