It's difficult as a chronic game hopper because there are games that I know would be in my top 5 if I bothered to finish them

I honestly like too many RPGs to rank them. Some hold extreme nostalgia value, some were just fun to play for endless hours. It's like asking me to list my favorite songs or movies, can't do it. Besides, no one needs another list with Chrono Trigger, FF7, FF Tactics, Ogre Tactics, Pokemon Red & Blue, Deus Ex, a bunch of MMOs, Legend of Dragoon, Vanguard Bandits, etc

Too much **** at too many specific times in my life.

Oh God... just 5? I'm going to have to sit down and think about this one.

I figured it would be a good list from the rpg connoisseurs for people to look at and try new rpgs.

Yes, I think all these use some sort of C or C#. :mrgreen:

Planescape: Torment
Dragon Age: Origins (the only one that counts)
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer
Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide
Icewind Dale 2 OR Menzoberranzan OR Temple of Elemental Evil

And yes, I'm a (A)D&D kind of guy.

1. Dragon Age Origins

2. Baldur's Gate 3 (Early Access only)

3. Dragon's Dogma

4. Icewind Dale 2

5. Kenshi


There are others I am sure, but I don't look at the genre and just play the game if I like it. I do not recognize the Baldur's Gate 3 that came out as a "full game" as the game I played, so, in case the vote wouldn't count, do use this list below instead:

1. Dragon Age Origins

2. Dragon's Dogma

3. Icewind Dale 2

4. Kenshi

5. World of Warcraft (Wrath of the Lich King and before)

I am putting emphasis on playing a character for this list (how good/immersive it feels to play as a character in the game). Would have put ******* Bonds, Starsector and Hand of Fate (second one), but I have not come around to fully play those games yet to really judge.

What's that 404 for @rusty_shackleford? To be honest I don't really have favorites, just games I enjoyed or not. If you asked me another day the answer would probably be completely different.

If I go by the amount of time played. The first 2 easiely win.

1. Morrowind modded
2. Baldurs Gate 3 modded.
3. Kingdom Come Deliverance
4. Mount and Blade series. never played that Pendor mod tho.
5. Gothic 2

But Lufia2, Chronotrigger, Fallout NV, Vampires Masquerade are also really nice, just dont have that much replayability for me.

  1. ATOM RPG + Trudograd. Combining them because it's technically a standalone expansion :smug:

Diablo 2 isn't an expansion pack tho
Trudograd is a stand-alone story expansion to ATOM RPG
