Favorite WRPG of all time?

[Ando85]

I've played a lot more JRPGs than I have western, but I'm starting to get into them more. At this point not sure what my favorite is. What's yours?

 

[Dandark]

That's a tough one since I have a lot of games that I like but im not sure whether I could consider them RPGs or not.

I would say Dark souls but im pretty sure that's Japanese so i'll go with Dragon age: Origins. Off the top of my head that is probably my favorite RPG that I would count as a pure RPG(Pure meaning not partly an action game or something).

Probably KoTOR. No, definitely KoTOR. Deus Ex 1 is a very close second though.

 

[Zhukov]

Mass Effect series.

I say this because (a) it really is my favourite and (b) it annoys the crap out of some people.

[sub]This reminds me, I really need to get a hold of Dark Souls one of these days...[/sub]

Knights of the Old Republic 2. Proving that Obsidian can take a Bioware RPG and make it better. Then they did it again with Neverwinter Nights 2, specifically Mask of the Betrayer.

Hmmm struggling here ah sod it ill say Oblivion as I really did love it and it carves its own niche but I havent played Planescape, Skyrim, Deux ex or Vampire bloodlines the masquerade yet and I really want to (especially the last one) but I do consider the best JRPGS superior to the best WRPGS generally.

Probably Morrowind (although there's a distinction between "my favorite," "best," and even "the one I think will likely be someone else's favorite.")

 

[ChupathingyX]

Definitely Fallout: New Vegas.

I never expected I would love the whole "rebuilding of civilisation and society" aspect of it so much.

 

[endtherapture]

1. Baldur's Gate 2
2. Dragon Age Origins
3. Knights of The Old Republic 2
4. The Witcher 2
5. Skyrim

That's gotta be my top 5.

Mass Effect series.

I'd have to at least partially agree with Mass Effect. Maybe Dragon Age.

[sub]Also, Dark Souls is Japanese.[/sub]

Pretty much just these two games, KOTOR and Guild Wars. I haven't play Mass Effect jsut yet thought.

 

[kingcom]

Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. Still the kind of rpgs, fantastic combat, characters and story with loads of content and given the recent Mass Effect ending...a really really satisfying ending to the series.

 

[Indecipherable]

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magicka Obscura

Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines is a close second.

[unindexedsearchengine]

either the first Kotor or the Mass Effect series

 

[gorfias]

Diablo. I played through it many times as all 3 characters.

 

[Zantos]

Might and Magic 7, it's old and looks like arse, but I really love it. Other M&M games are good, but 7 is where it really hit me. First WRPG I played, cost me 50 pence, love it!

 

[Frankster]

Wild Arms counts as a western rpg right? Ok yeh that's probably too japanese influenced.

Baldurs Gate series or Vampire the Masquerade seem solid enough choices so will go for those.

At the moment, Mass Effect 3. Ticks all the boxes for me, exploration, decent action scenes, good story, Martin Sheen.

Drew me back into the series like a moth to a lightbulb
