Dragon Age
Mass Effect 1/2
Final Fantasy 7
Secret of Mana 3 (which was an SNES game never released in America you have to find a fan made English patch)
Star Ocean 2

Star Ocean 2
5. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (there for the great sense of humor, great characters, fun combat and overall charm, one of the best kid-friendly RPGs available)
4. Fallout 3 (120 hours of playtime says enough, coupled with innovative combat, great customization and great visuals it is simply one of the most rewarding gaming experiences available)
3. TES IV: Oblivion (The first real open RPG I have ever played, it stomps the face of other linear RPGs by allowing total character freedom and limitless playstyles with deep gameplay mechanics)
2. Diablo 2 (Limitless character customization and combat strategies and simply the most replayable game in the last 12 years)
1. Fallout: New Vegas (Exploding the world of Fallout into pure gaming bliss with great combat, amazing visuals and sound design, great characters, thought provoking storyline and amazing mod-ability it tops all other attempts by other developers to capture the feeling of making a difference in your gameworld)

Baldur's Gate 2
Persona 4
Planescape: Torment
Tales of Vesperia
Fallout 2
In no particular order, it was hard enough picking five. I can't really compare the different joys that different games offer.
[sub]If I could choose six there'd be a 50/50 spread of WRPG and JRPG. This thread is giving me OCD.[/sub]

Ummm, Boss?
Planescape: Torment
Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
Neverwinter Nights: Shadow of Undrentide
Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick
I guess I'm a fantasy fan? I rank Kotor and Fallout 2 just outside the top five. VtM:B is really the odd one out, but it has such great storytelling. I always knew that I was a role-playing purist, I don't really like RPGs that require physical skill, they seem less of an RPG experience. A great RPG should be able to be played by a paraplegic.
EDIT: I guess I'm a sucker for a colon as well...

I wasn't expecting anyone else to have a Suikoden game in their list (seeing as the series is criminally underrated), but I am pleasantly surprised.TheRobotandtheBeast said:

Hey hey TMNT, that was a great RPG, you've inspired me to list my five favorite PnP RPGs. You wouldn't be in your mid thirties would you because your list is eeirily similar to games in my top 10.New Troll said:
Paranoia, easily the most fun RPG I've ever played.
TMNT, but especially the Road Hogs supplement.
MERPS (Middle Earth Role Playing System) great critical hit/miss tables made for a lot of fun.
AD&D 2nd Ed, back when men were men and thieves were thieves.
Beyond the Supernatural, with a set of pretty hefty "house rules" ammendments to make characters weaker.
I played Rifts a bit but like most Palladium RPGs it was a Munchkins Paradise so you had to have some pretty serious players to get a good game.
Fallout 3 (Who would choose Vegas over Fallout 3? Story, game play, characters Epic game)
Oblivion (Story was easier to follow than Morrowind and some of the quests were really different)
Mass Effect (Better story than no. 2 and better side characters IMO)
Arcanum (I loved this game, instant classic for me. A real open world game)
KotOR (IMO it had a better story line than no. 2 and the combat system amazed me)
Oblivion (Story was easier to follow than Morrowind and some of the quests were really different)
Mass Effect (Better story than no. 2 and better side characters IMO)

In order:
Oblivion
Knights of the Old Republic
Mass Effect 1/2
Dragon Age: Origins
Fallout 3
You also just witnessed my top 5 favorite games. Funny how two developers can govern your entire gaming experience. As well as a single platform. All those games were played specifically for PC. Says a lot about me.

Now, I may be wrong here, but I think that's just the Swedish translation of Dungeons and Dragons.Kiltguy said:

Suikoden II

Fallout III
Earthbound
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Huh. All but one of those games were a sequel. Imagine that!
1 Oblivion
2 Fallout: New Vegas
3 Fallout: 3
4 Assassins Creed: Brotherhood *
5 Can't actually say that the other ones I've played are good enough.
* = I count a game as an RPG as opposed to a sandbox IF you can purchase stuff with earned in-game money AND you earn xp through actions which then allow you to do more moves (The Thieves, Courtesans and Mercenarios all have a scoreboard where you can track the progress of new faction related abilities by doing certain actions.).
