Poll: The Best (Western) RPG Series of All Time
- Thread starter BloatedGuppy
- Start date
Fairly argued. I've added Might and Magic to the list of nominees. Better late than never.JesterRaiin said:I suppose it's ok, however i'm still unsure how it's possible to chose series consisting of 3 (literally : three) mildly known games over franchise with 9 parts not counting spin-offs, that practically dominated cRPGing during it's "Xeen" phase and inspired numerous followers.
BTW : I may be wrong but (among many other) the concept of acquiring and upgrading private stronghold was introduced by none other than M&M series, so we have a lot to thank it for.
Out of western rpgs? Now THAT'S tough....if I had to choose from this selection....I guess Dragon Age.
But I want to vote D:BloatedGuppy said:It is on the list, you great girl's blouse. I just couldn't put it in the POLL, because the POLL was limited to 7 options.RaeveSpam said:Why is the Witcher not on this list?
"great girl's blouse", that I never expected to be called
now I see that it actually has a definition, and it isn't nice
Oh don't listen to the urban dictionary. It's the gentlest chide in the world. Who wouldn't want to be a girl's blouse?RaeveSpam said:now I see that it actually has a definition, and it isn't nice

Might and Magic then !
On the lesser known fact about M&M. By copying some files from both 4th and 5th installments of this game to one folder one could play "World of Xeen". The idea was simple - by using some "lifts" whole party was teleported from one world to other.
I'd become f*cking devout man in exchange for a possiblity to do it with Skyrim and Morrowind.
I have no idea who you are, but I now have great respect for you. I'm adding that to my common vocabulary.BloatedGuppy said:It is on the list, you great girl's blouse. I just couldn't put it in the POLL, because the POLL was limited to 7 options.RaeveSpam said:Why is the Witcher not on this list?
OT: Mass Effect. Now to raise this shield against those who would burn me for voting that, calling out ME2 as something that is not an RPG...
If I had played Baldur's Gate, I'd probably voted for that. Also, the Witcher 2 might of been my back up if I had played more of it.
Go Team Ultima \o/ preferably I-IV;
- that said, Planescape: Torment is (IMO) the best of the D&D bunch (Baldur's, NWN, PST & the old TSR ones);
- not giving my voice to TES due to a) Skyrim being to new, so my current infatuation messes with my vote & b) Oblivion leveling & scaling system (also c) horrific Daggerfall localisation, though i by now have forgiven Bethesda for that ^^)
- Witcher 1&2 as well as Gothic 1&2 i hold in very high regard, even if both of them suffer from UX design issues; if Witcher brings in a 3rd installement comparable to 1&2, i'll consider its entry into best series; whereas Gothic denied itself that with #3 & 4.
- I'm not sure i'd call Mass Effect an RPG series; Dragon Age's 2nd installenet had narrative problems at the beginning; Bard's Tale & Wizardry i liked, but they hardly qualify as "best ever".

This is all true. It's over 10 years old now yet still holds up so well, one of the best games ever.Alphonse_Lamperouge said:

Mass effect, never has a role ever played so well, and it enbodies eveything the west is about, guns and and banging aliens.
Daft poll! If you were here, I would slap your face. I did my best to get all the principal series in there. It's not like that OTHER poll, with a bunch of random games slapped together in a spurious "best game of all time" poll. THIS poll is scientifically rigorous![footnote]No actual science was employed in the creation of this poll[/footnote]Tin Man said:
