such a tease
come on mate, lift your skirt and tell us your top ten rpgs
Fallout 1 - the series that introduced me to the genre on PC's.
Fallout 2
Fallout: New Vegas
Planescape
Earthbound - my first RPG and still replayable today.
KotOR 2
Morrowind
Jagged Alliance 2
Final Fantasy Tactics - one of the least gay FF games.
Diablo - ARPG but it doesn't matter. It has lore, atmosphere, and damn good combat/character building. Besides if JRPG's count then this should count.
Vagrant Story deserves a shoutout along with Anachronox, The Witcher, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. Why do they not get a spot? Vampire was too broken to beat. Anachronox had horrible combat that was frequent. The Witcher didn't compel me enough to finish.
I love these games so much rationality breaks down forcing me to list the three good Fallout RPG's and two JRPG's. Fallout Tactics is cool but too broken to add. Might and Magic 3 deserves a mention for getting me into RPG's hardcore, but I never liked grids and maps and nothing but combat.
I dislike Baldur's Gate due to the setting but I acknowledge it's greatness. Arcanum I am going to play soon almost certainly taking one of the lesser quality games on the list. I have been saving it for a time when I am starved for games. I would like to try Geneforge, Serpent in the Staglands, Darklands, and a few more that slip my mind. I need to beat Alpha Protocol come to think of it. If we degenerate further into "NotaRPG" territory System Shock popped my cherry on FMV.
Wasteland 2 was too generic story wise, the combat was not as in depth as I liked, and many of the areas were downright boring, so it doesn't get a spot on this most awesome list.
Listing them all down like that (along with consulting the Top Codex RPG's - Wizardry, and Ultima always turned me off due to the setting but I know they are good) you start to realize how few of these games there really are. I could go into JRPG's and list a few more that aren't downright shit like Saga Frontier 2, and Xenogears but even then most are awful.
Dishonorable mentions: Final Fantasy VI and Super Mario RPG.
Can we fuck now?
Edit: Oh yeah Underrail is good but I am not a combat fag. I got bored halfway through and decided to wait for DLC to finish.
