[PC] Best PC RPG Ever??

I 100% agree. There's also a reason that none of them bring up the further Fallout "sequels."

I'd see a "PC" RPG as one that was disigned for the platform, not a port, so I can't in good conscience consider KOTOR as a PC RPG. In addition to the obvious Fallout, Planescape, and Diablo I&II, my personal list would include all the Infinity Engine games (Baldur's Gate I&II--especially II, and Icewind Dale I and II--which no one has mentioned), and, of course, Deus Ex, which I'm surprised no one has mentioned.

Deus Ex was a rare first-person 3D RPG, and the only good thing that ever came out of Ion Storm (ironically, from the branch that didn't have the giant office). I found its levelling system to be particularly innovative.

The Icewind series was the Infinity answer to Diablo, but with much more emphasis on story. Even though it was mindless hack n' slash gameplay-wise, I liked the way you were able to develop your character if you so chose by writing a biography and choosing a voice. I still remember one of the character taunts: "Step right up, I've got plenty of death for everybody!"

Jam it back in, in the dark.
