Best rpg you've ever played

I like Dragon age, one of my favorite rpg to come out in recent years. But I don't think it matches up to Baldur's Gate 2's sheer sense of scale and adventure, nor was the story nearly as interesting or the characters as 'alive'.CK76 said:
An example: the city in Dragon Age pretty much consists of one district and a few samey alleys. Compare that to Baldur's Gate 2 where the city was absolutely massive, itself larger than many full games, with underground tunnels, hidden secrets, multiple major and secondary plot, multiple districts each with their own themes, random encounters, hundreds of NPC to meet and chat with, a day/night system where you'll encounter different things during different hours... good god, it just keeps going on and on! You can spend hours just exploring that city, and still not even see half of what there is to see.
I also dislike how the influence system worked in DA. It felt like I was just catering to the characters so I could increase their influence and unlock new abilities whereas in BG2 they interact with one another, they get into arguments, fight, and just generally feel more realistic in the way they interact with both the player and the other companions.
But that's just my view on the matter. I do know it's not nostalgia speaking though because I'm literally playing BG right now, well, it's alt-tabbed. And it's just as good as I remember it.
I remember that one so well, I can still remember the awesome moment when I got the Granasaber.CK76 said:
Now I want to play it again, but noone around here has got it, and I can't be arsed to buy it online.
Kudos to you as well for recognizing Tales of the Abyss. It's the best Tales game by far and definitely deserves more recognition.Atmos Duality said:
It's kinda similar to Oblivion in that you ride around a big world, pick flowers and get attacked by wolves, but I still don't see how you could mistake it for an RPG.brunt32 said:
This, hands down.LC Wynter said:
And I mean all hands down. If I could grow more arms through painful gene splicing and agonizing surgeries to become a multi-armed freak of nature who is shunned by his loved ones and doomed to wander the jungles of Borneo hiding from the local villagers who think I'm an evil spirit, JUST so that I could put my many hands down to say that Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2 are the best RPGs ever made, then I would.
That many hands down.
BG forever.
Yeah, Carth was annoying, that's why I prefer KOTOR II (Kreia was awesome). Now, I'm not sure if I'd say KOTOR or the Mass Effect series, what a tough choice!Onyx Oblivion said:
