Poll: The greatest RPG of all time

[Flux289]

You can choose any RPG from any generation, they can be any type of rpg - jrpg, fpsrpg, mmorpgs... etc.

I know there are a lot of very popular rpgs *eyes ff7 and ff7 action figures* and a lot of underrated ones, so when you choose your rpg tell us all why its your all time favourite.

My personal greatest rpg of all time is Zelda:OOT because its the closest rpg to perfection.

Oh and also, NO flame wars! Please...

 

[Armored Prayer]

Ah, double thread thats why the other poll had only 2 choices.

Again, most fave of all time: KOTOR.

Final Fantasy VIII, it tried something different. Yeah, the magic system was polarizing and the card game was a joke, but it's probably one of the best time travel stories I've ever read. Also, Quistis is cute; a much better match for Squall than Rinoa.

Well these days I'm spending a lot of time on Fallout 3... but damn it, Golden Sun made my childhood.

 

[The Shade]

Of the listed options, I guess I'll go with... Fallout... 3?

But it's hard to pin down the "greatest" anything when opinion is so subjective.

I'll just say Fallout 3 is my favourite RPG and leave it at that.

Some other nice ones:
Mass Effect
Pokemon
Dungeons & Dragons (tabletop)
The Elder Scrolls

Vote SKIES OF ARCADIA.

Although Tales of the Abyss and Phantasy star online are excellent. As is FF crystal chronicals.

 

[Proteus214]

Final Fantasy VI was what made me like RPGs to begin with. It had the best story and the combat system wasn't half bad for its day.

 

[WrongSprite]

MORROWIND

I grow tired of saying it.... if you want my reasons, you'll have to journey to the last FIFTY threads where I've said it.

 

[Randomeaninglessword]

Morrowind, the best game ever.

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Even though I'd want to say FFIV, I can't. My choice would have to go to Mother 3.

 

[Krajin]

Final Fantasy 7

 

[Gooboy]

I say FF7 due to it was the first RPG I played.

 

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life]

I would say Oblivion, or Fallout 2, but I think that Bard's Tale deserves a vote. It was a rare case of a game with a genuine sense of humor. Plus, it was a Dungeons & Dragons/Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance-style game, so the gameplay was really fun.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Well, my answer is clearly Tales of Symphonia, but I give a large vote of confidence to Wizardry 8 and Planescape Torment.

[HEADING=1]Mass Effect[/HEADING]

Its storytelling is unparalleled, the universe it creates wholly believable. I'm actually surprised I enjoyed a sci-fi RPG so much.

Morrowin is a close second, as is Oblivion.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

MORROWIND

I have to concur,

MORROWIND

 

[Deviluk]

KOTOR (can choose which).

 

[AdambotLive]

Runescape. There, i said it, flame me.

It's a good game, mainly people just insult it for the bad graphics, it's like morowind, not the best graphics in the world, but an absolute gem.

 

[Captain Pancake]

why is chrono trigger up there and not KOTOR?
