Sorry to be harsh, but maybe it's just because you're an idiot!

Anachronox is good as well, but of course no one has played it.

I'm going to go with Morrowind. Including Tribunal and Bloodmoon. This caters to many fantasies I've had as a kid and I was able to embrace upon these fantasies in one large island called Vvardenfell.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Oblivion yet . . . Anyhow, Planescape: Torment was an amazing game. I never beat it, nor did I get very far, but I could tell from the few hours that I played that it was a masterpiece. I should really try out those Fallout games some day.

Maybe four days is not enough to judge if a game is ''the best ever''. :confused:

Depends on the person. To some, Halo 3 is the best game ever and it doesn't exist.

Anyone got anything on KOTOR 2? I have the first and didn't hear a whole lot about the second one.

I know KOTOR II... don't know KOTOR I, though.

I guess what you want to know is on the realm of "what makes it different", right? Not having played the first one, I can say that the KOTOR II ending wasn't very good. Of course, that's just an opinion. Also, it has a few bugs, but not as many as to make it annoying.

There're a lot of references to the first one, and the story seems to be very related to that of KOTOR.

I'll go ahead and jump on the small Baldur's Gate bandwagon. For pure RPG'ness, BG, it's sequel and all expansions are unbelievable. I have not played Torment, I should give it a shot.

For Action/RPG, Diablo and Diablo II would be the winners for me. Divine Divinity is up there as well.

Oblivion, no contest. Besides that, Diablo II would be the next, with Planescape Torment following. I never beat Planescape, but played the game beginning to middle a few times, but for some reason I never seemed to get any further. *shrug*

You have to mention Neverwinter Nights when you talk about pc rpgs, it has great writing, not to mention the huge community support.
btw, nwn 2 on the way :)

Anachronox was a great game. the talking planet was one of the most creative/original ideas I've seen in an rpg

TES III: Morrowind has been the best for me. With the enhanced combat mod + better bodies mod on...I was another person in that game. Oblivion will be a wet dream for me once I have a better video card :revolution: :ashamed:

CDV's Divine Divinity? I played the demo and it seemed ok, very Diablo-like. Was it good?

Don't speak so soon. I loved Anachronox. I don't think I ever laughed while playing a game as much I did while playing it. I think it definitely deserved more attention than it recieved simply because it was one of the most original RPGs I've ever played. I mean, come on. A retired superhero and a talking planet join your party. So awsome.

I'd probably go with Starcraft, World of Warcraft, or Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Sorry, but Starcraft is not an RPG and you could put a little detail into the post.

I agree - but have you seen how some members have been orgasming over this game lately?

I agree that Oblivion is ahead of Morrowind by far, with the improved graphics, larger world, speech. However it just doesn't have the same effect as Morrowind when I first played it. I clearly remember I had uni exams back then and I still went out of my way to play the game. The game just came out of no where for me, when one of my friends said 'check this out'. I was just amazed at how they could create a full 3D world. To me Oblivion is just an improvement over Morrowind.

Of course this is just the gameplay aspects of it, and only what I've experienced and maybe the story which I really have no idea about at the moment except for right at the beginning, will make up for what I think is missing from a *best* RPG.

Now to the actual thread, best PC RPG for me would have to be Diablo I/II. Once I started on these games I just couldn't stop, especially with Diablo II. So simple and yet so addictive.

I quite enjoyed KOTOR I & II. I couldn't really get into Diablo 2, might have another crack at it some time. And as for Oblivion, it is good but, some of the NPC dialog is shoddy at best.

While Diablo II and Morrowind were fantastic of their own right, I'm going to tenatively give this title to Oblivion. I normally don't get too compulsive about games, but Oblivion has just captivated me more than I can explain in words. The gameplay, the graphics, the freedom..... it's truly everything I could want in an RPG. It's impossible to give a conclusive judgement after 4 days, but everything I've seen so far makes me believe that this is the one.

I'll go with Fate, if retro questing and hack-and-slash games are given consideration in the RPG genre.

Thread closed for necromancy.

Besides, anybody who argues against Fallout clearly hasn't played the game.

69! LOL!
