I'd have to say Super Mario RPG for SNES. It was the first one I'd played and I love it to this day. It's a shame Nintendo and Square Enix had a falling out, I would have loved to have seen a sequel.

Don't know if I posted here or not (not digging through several pages to see if I did.) But I have to say Mass Effect is as good as it gets.

A lot of new games being mentioned here. Make me feel old.
Most of them are quite good I grant (Mass Effect, KotOR, Morrowind) but none of them come even close to Baldur's Gate II. Or Baldur's Gate for that matter.

I'm glad that some at least mention these games. They have not been surpassed since. And God knows I've tried a lot of games to find a substitute. I still hope for a game that comes close.
I still can't get the annoying player character voices out of my head. "A waste of my talents!" etc. Sounded pretty dumb coming from a total wuss who quite often got mangled by gibberlings. Oh, and the bandit ambushes... a circle of bandits going "so then, I kicked 'um in the head, 'til he was dead!! Fnahaha!" repeatedly about eleventeen thousand times while shooting arrows at you, and then one of your characters got hit by a poison arrow and lost 20 HP, which early on pretty much translated to "died". And you couldn't afford to raise them because the enemies only drop about 1g each, despite the extravagant treasure pile graphic. Oh, and the way skeletons take only 1 damage from ANY arrow attack, despite the fact there's no such rule. And the instant death of petrification, ah yes... funny stuff. Especially the seventeenth time, after a half hour where you'd forgotten to save.

That said, I do believe my luck with dice, especially invisible virtual ones, is the worst this side of pluto... so that may have tainted my experience somewhat. <.<
Ahh yes, the player voices. Luckily I tend to ignore them. But they are a bit on the annoying side.
But I'll say that it does indeed sound like you have bad luck with the dice. I usually fare a little better than that, though I'll admit any day that my PC normally is quite lame. It's not what I would call an easy game (at the early parts at least) and the difficulty can sometimes be a bit out of balance.

However if we are talking real dice, be it in Monopoly, 40K, rpg, Ludo or anything else I have no luck whatsoever. It baffles me. I mean, statistically I should get a good roll at some point. But no.

But I still think that, if one leaves combat systems and voice cast out, BG2 shines in it's actual role playing part. Which is what I play it for. It's not perfect, but it's the best I've come across yet when it comes to making a believable world and a good story line. The dynamic of the party is also something I miss. There was some of that in KotOR which is why I like it as much as I do. Mass Effect does too little of it to my taste.

And I'll take a bandit ambush any day to a cliffracer. Dear God I've killed many of them. To a point where I made a long lasting levitation ring and went on a rampage. I spent a lot of time floating around killing those screeching buggers. I had a bit of the same problem in both Oblivion and Fallout 3. The old Fallout games has some annoying random encounters too at times. I guess that's just part of the deal when playing a rpg.

anything from elder scrolls oblivion always amuses me. I used to play WoW and enjoy myself emensly with my undead warlock until the tards came in a called themselves "souless".

with that said I've made a turn into playing more turn based RPG's (not much of the final fantasy band wagon though, most of the stuff turns me off) but more like Disgaea or Fire emblem in which I actually feel the need to pause and think on how I should proceed to kill a person, especially since I can control 6 or more people at once.
