You are my new best friend here.

Hello!

3. Chrono Cross

A good game.

[ThulsaDoomer]

Guess I'll finally add to this thread.

1. TES: Morrowind
2. Icewind Dale
3. Icewind Dale 2
4. King of Dragon Pass
5. Expeditions: Viking

I was debating on which last one to put and I decided to check out the steam reviews where a guy was calling for a boycott of Expeditions: Viking because it had a side quest where you could slaughter a bunch of violent street urchins. Upon further inspection of this user, I found he 100%'d Life is Strange. So his line in the sand was a brutal encounter in a historical fantasy game about the Vikings and instead fully approved of lesbian feminism. So thus, it is now my number five.

1. TES: Morrowind

You write a lot of funny nonsensical words but you're a nice man beneath all that. All Morrowind fans are welcome in my heart.

Wealth beyond measure, outlander.

Strangest compliment I've received in a while, I think.

@Jordy I'd like to cast 5 votes for VtMB.

[Jordy]

@Jordy I'd like to cast 5 votes for VtMB.

You can have it as your #1 and add the other 4 later if you want?

[Jordy]

@Jordy I'd like to cast 5 votes for VtMB.

Oh, you already voted for these:

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Phantasy Star IV
Chrono Cross
Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven
The Temple of Elemental Evil

[maidenhaver]

I just wanted VtMB to be higher.

You can change your list if you want. Just let me know.

No, my list is correct.

[Ryzer]

Why the **** is there a Bethesda slop in each ranking?

It's either Skyrim, Oblivion, Morronwind or Faggout New Vegas.

These 4 games are TRASH.

[Bhaalspawn Jr]

It's crazy that I've yet to play any of the top ten games listed here. Never heard of Planescape: Torment until today. Is it that good?

Here's my list:

1. Baldur's Gate 3

2. Mass Effect Trilogy (2's my favourite)

3. Skyrim

4. Bloodborne

5. Xenoblade Chronicles 2

[Tadeusz]

It's a CRPG with strong narrative focus. The story and worldbuilding are great but it's somewhat lacking in combat mechanics. It's not for everyone but I think those who love CRPGs may appreciate it.

I'll put Mass Effect 2 as your #2. Let me know if you want to revise your list to include the other two games.

[Ryzer]

Mass Effect really?

Did reddit pour into the HQ? Or it's just another @rusty_shackleford alt.

I need to play more CRPGs. Only ones I've played are Knights of the Old Republic 1 + 2 and Baldur's Gate 3. This one sounds cool, I'll add it to the backlog.

It's a visual novel that was in need of a good editor.

It's decent.

could ask the same about souls likes....

I've only beaten 2 of the top 5, and only learned of them through friends. It just makes us filthy casuals, that's all.

I wouldn't consider myself a casual gamer when I'm usually up to the early hours playing anything from a niche JRPG to the latest AAA slop. I just bought those top 10 games on GOG since there's a sale on right now. They were all dirt cheap. Threw the first Fallout on just to see what it was like and I was totally into it from the get-go. Looking forward to playing them all.

[Kolgrim]

I'll contribute if the OP feels like updating still.

1. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
2. Dragon Age: Origins
3. Mass Effect
4. Dragon's Dogma
5. Fable 2. I didn't see this on the list so if I can't vote for it I'll go with Fable 1.

I will say I'm surprised to see Kingdom Come Deliverance ranked so highly. Not a bad game but interesting choice by the users here. Also are Zelda games really RPG's? I love Zelda but never would have thought to call them role playing games.
