Other honorable mentions:

- Fallout 1

- Baldur's Gate 2

- Planescape Torment

- Morrowind

- Skyrim - though too much simplification and streamlining - if they go further down this line with next TESO - I won't buy it

 

 

I consider Diablo as a hack & slash genre, not crpg.

Mount & Blade is combat / tactic game & deatchmatch pvp multiplayer - I also don't consider it an rpg.  Well there is crpg mod, but I guess we talk un-modded version.

Well Mount and Blade does have Skills, Attributes and Levels which contribute to character progression, so it's an RPG :D

So apparently a game that has skills attribute and levels make the game a 'role playing game'. Ok gotcha

 

Alright then how would you define an RPG? Please tell me this right now

Buuut... Diablo is not an RPG, it's Hack'n'Slash. :-)

For me it would be:
1. Skyrim
2. Fallout 3
3. Dragon Age: Origins
4: Mass Effect
5. Mass Effect 2

Baldur's Gate 1 for sure.  Hoping the enhanced edtition is good.  This is my favorite rpg of all time.

Fallout 1 was really good too.

Liked Dragon Age Origins also.

Shining Force 2   <- amazing game, tops all my others by miles

Gothic

Landstalker

Monster Hunter

RPG games were my all time favorite growing up (mostly due to the fact I was only allowed to have 1 game per year and had to chose a game I wouldn't get bored of within a few days). I did however list a few games that I played that arn't considered rpg games, but were good enough to keep me playing them over and over.

Nintendo:

Zelda and Zelda 2

Final Fantasy

Dragon Warrior

Metroid

CastleVania

Super Nintendo (Probably my all time favorite rpg platform):

Chrono Trigger

Final Fantasy 2

Final Fantasy 3

Secret of Mana

Secret of Evermore

illusion of Gaia

Lagoon (wish the game wasn't so short though)

Star Ocean (only available through translated ROM)

Sega:

Shining Force

Shining Force 2

Sega CD:

Lunar

Lunar 2

Ps1:

Final Fantasy 7

Xenogears

Final Fantasy Tactics

Legend of Dragoon

Star Ocean: The Second Story

Parasite Eve

Metal Gear Solid

Any game After the platform I found lacking in storyline, character buildup, exploration fun, and instead just focused only on graphics. So I put down the consol and started playing PC games:

Deus Ex

Counter Strike (1.3 - 1.5)

Ragnarok Online (up until they made 3rd class changes)

Lineage 2 (2003 - 2006, which is C1 - C6)

Anything after this has not been a game I have found and been able to actually enjoy playing. It's more been about something to keep me occupied out of complete boredom. ATM I am not playing any games due to the fact the mainstream has taken the companies over and caters to the WoW (ME) generation of troll losers who want to press 1 button, vs spending years to build up your character (through time put into it and not this rng crap) and when you finally reach end game you have your sense of accomplishment and are ready to war the other alliances in the fight for power, territory control, and fun.

Wasteland  and thnwe it's spiritual sequels Fallout 1 and 2

Might and Magic 1-6(not Heroes of)

Wizardry 1-3

Ultima 1-4

Gothic 1 and 2

AD&D Pools of Radiance(the original)

Baldur's Gate 1 and 2

Planescape Torment

Dungeon Mastwer 1 and 2

Black Crypt

Bard's Tale 1 and 2

Amberstar

Shadowrun

White Wolf games in general really.

I prefer games that reward you for being clever not obscenely strong. if i can outsmart rather than overpower its a win in my books.

1. Skyrim + my collection of 270 mods + 3DTV + HMZ-T1  (insane immersion)

2. Mass Effect 2

3. Mass Effect 1 & 3 (yep, Im a fan)
