Whats your favorite of the classic RPG games?

Mine would be Fallout 2 mainly because I liked the combat and stealing (Yes, you read right.)

Also, if im forgetting any, please, dont vote and post what im missing.

Vampire the Masquerade : Bloodlines. It's a bit later than the rest of them, but it's so awesome I'm fairly certain that it can go back a few years at will, just to be put in the lineup.

Fallout 1+2, although that's 'cos my only experience with Baldur's Gate was my dad playing it when I was younger.

It confused me...

 

[Pimppeter2]

Out of those, it has to be Baldur's Gate 1 & 2. I those games ate up a lot of my time.

 

[Joshy8632]

LUFIA and LUFIA 2 for SNES i spent over 100 hours on both of them!

 

[DannyBoy451]

Arcanum, so underrated.

Also: You can buy it on GoodOldGames now, fuck yes.

Definetly too new but meh

 

[Amnestic]

Dungeons and Dragons.

Oh, we have a list?

Baldur's Gate definitely. No doubt. No question.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Out of those, Haven't played any.

Out of older RPGs, Diablo 1 and 2 still hold up pretty freaking well.

 

[RedPandaMan]

Arcanum. Extremely fun.

 

[Radeonx]

Mother 3.
One of my favorite classics.

 

[dark-amon]

Of the games presented in the poll, Arcanum is my favourite. Although all the games are good I find Arcanum more daring and creates a world far more unique compared to the other games.

 

[Aerodynamic]

Fallout 1/2, one of the best games ever, Favorite RPG too, and this is coming from a guy who hates most RPGs

 

[BlindMessiah94]

Dungeons and Dragons.

Yeah, this.

But if we are picking actually video games, I seem to recall a really bad game for my Macintosh Classic called Shadow Keep that I loved. It was all kinds of terrible but it was still a classic RPG in the sense that it was an RPG and was on a Mac Classic dur dur.

I like those games but I can't help but feel like final fantasy 1 should have a mention. At least for the gameboy advance version I liked th adventure, it was before the series gravitated towrds the heroes with hair you could roast marshmellows with and before the stories lost almost all of their emersive quality. You could make your lead character's class reflect you, and you could name him/her (If it's a white mage......I think) by anything you want as well as make the others named after anything as well, your closest friends, the random name generator, anything. It was also the only adventure I could beat without hitting a brickwall in the shape of a boss character or getting stuck on a ludicrously hard puzzle, or just becoming bored out of my skull a quarter of the way through.

Diablo 1 and 2 are not RPG's.
They are hack and slash games like Gauntlet. There is no role to play, and it's mostly a connect the dots game with no storyline.

Baludur's and Fallout series get my vote.

 

[Zykon TheLich]

Neverwinter Nights and it's 2 expansion packs.

Of the ones you listed it's Baldurs gate...except I didn't like it.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Diablo 1 and 2 are not RPG's.
They are hack and slash games like Gauntlet. There is no role to play, and it's mostly a connect the dots game with no storyline.

There are stats, there is loot, there are skill points, there are character builds, there are HP/MP meters. They're RPGs. Just without moral choices.

In other words, they're RPG's without depth.
(But I still love them)

I'm going with Daggerfall. Even though it was full of bugs and glitches, and a lot of the locations were repeated, it was and still is the most massive rpg I've ever played.
