[the_shadow]

Name the best RPGs in these categories (only one per category):

1) story/narrative; (not planescape torment)

2) exploration and overral ambience;

3) choice and consequence system;

4) strategic battles;

5) character creation/progression.

Have fun and fire on.

1. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

2. Gothic 3

3. Geneforge 5

4. NWN 2 - SoZ

5. NWN 1 played with expansion content.

Too by-the-book Codexian, Piggy. You need to get some edgy entries.

 

[Toraak]

1. Morrowind
2. Darklands - The manual alone is better than many RPGs.
3. Everlasting Summer - Thanks Idiott
4. Baldur’s Gate 2
5. Morrowind - Began as a mudcrab’s bitch and ended as a god-slaying bringer of chaos and destruction.

 

[Micormic]

1) fallout 1 or betrayal at krondor, siege of avalon(game isn't very good aside from the story though)

2) fallout 2 or arcanum

3) fallout 1/2, aod or maybe fallout new vegas, also deus ex (not sure on this one

4) JA2 or TOEE, again maybe one of the fallouts. HM to the infinity engine games with had some good fights.
5) Arcanum or fallout 1/2.
