What RPG has the most replayability?

[loregamer]

Wondering what RPG you guys have played has the most replayability factor. For me, New Vegas was a blast to replay and side with different factions and make different choices.

[Gregz]

Diablo II

[Oyster Sauce]

Pokemon Blue/Silver, purely due to nostalgia. I don't really like replaying games now that I'm decrepit and have so many untouched ones I want to beat.

[Vergil]

Depends on what you mean by replayability. The RPGs I've replayed the most personally are ones where I always make the same kind of character doing the same build with the same decisions.

[maidenhaver]

I don't remember which one I played and completed the most. I've replayed Fallout 1 and Morrowind so many times, that eventually I quit finishing them. I don't replay rpgs much. Add Mandate of Heaven, which I replayed over and over through middle school and never returned to since.

I didn't play many RPGs in my life, but fallout 2 was my favorite, been replaying it few times per year since 2007 or so. Always had some new hidden details to find about it even with the wiki that details EVERYTHING that there is in this game. Upgraded somewhere in 2018 to restoration project that adds ton of new content that was cut due to time shortages/not enough space to cram the game into CDs.
The game itself is just wonderful, devs back then really had balls, you can shoot kids with rocket launcher and watch them gib, you can prostitute your protagonist or even participate in porn-films, can sell your companions or a whore-wife into slavery, can kill like 99% of the characters, and a whole lot more. I love every aspect of this game except the main quest, that one was just terribly scuffed by the development time restraints, other than that the game is pure gold and overall very much "my thing".

I've absolutely replayed 100+ hour RPGs because there was one small decision I wanted to change while keeping everything else exactly the same.

any RPG that has been designed with replayability in mind. The most obvious answer is therefore ARPGs (Diablo I - IV, Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Grim Dawn, Titan Quest etc)

none of those are rpgs

This is how I always end up playing Gothic. I tell myself I'll go Sect or New Camp and then end up Old Camp for the fire mage.

[rusty_shackleford]

Probably Neverwinter Nights with user-made modules and online shards.

[aweigh]

Skyrim and Fallout 4.

[Norfleet]

RPG-7. Written in 1961, it is still being played around the world today. I've played it dozens of times and still occasionally bust out a copy to replay, and have never gotten bored with it, which is more than can be said for any other RPG.

[TKVNC]

Depends on what you consider replaying - and how narrowly you want to define RPGs.

But generally I'd say the ones that have an actually player driven story, since you can try different things each time, Dragon Age: Origins, New Vegas, Morrowind.

[WhiteShark]

Roguelikes in general because they're made for this. I've surely put hundreds, if not thousands of hours into DCSS.

[Xenich]

If you don't mind older systems, FRUA with numerous AD&D modules out there exist.

[Nammu Archag]

For me mostly sandboxy RPGs (or sims?) like Kenshi or Starsector, at least in terms of raw hours.

@WhiteShark now that you mention it, your username is rather familiar, I guess I remember seeing you playing around sometimes. Were you a ##crawl user?

Btw DCSS devs are huge troons and have precedent of banning chuds for expressing their opinion from tournaments etc, so I think exposing our usernames here put our accounts at potential risk, and I've invested far too many hours for that lol. Plus, to be bluntly honest, I like being rather discreet (I can send you via PM if you're really curious).

I also think we could make a good DCSS team for future tournaments, if more people were up to it.

For some reason Librewolf thinks this link is going to give me nigger ebola aids.

It's a rather ancient website indeed.

Nethack is more oldschool and has more cheesing tactics, pretty much like a 1990 RPG.

DCSS has a philosophy of preventing any cheesing possibility at all and prioritizes adaptability instead of being a buildfag. You don't choose anything more beyond a race and background (also a weapon sometimes), and the remaining is up to your decisions and whatever you scavenge from the dungeon. I think it could be compared to chess, as in its philosophy, if you played all cards right, you are supposed to be able to always win. Not always that's achievable but they always strive to be nearer to that. It's also old of course but as it's updated constantly its gameplay feels pretty modern.
