What is the Greatest Rpg that you have ever actually played

[chrisbeddoes]

Well ?

 

[Xerophyte]

I wonder,

. . . is it even legal to make a poll like this and not include Ultima, Might & Magic and Wizardry?

Hmm .

I tried to edit the poll to add those options but i could'not .

Mayby a mod can do it or is it a weakness of the script ?

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Yeah.. Uhhh.. That "Final Fantasy series" vote up there is from me. That's what you get when you click too fast and hit submit. Just whack another vote on for FO1 & 2 out of that list.

I think there's also a limit on the number of options you can have in a poll.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Yeah, I think Fallout stands there as the best ever made. There are a few that might come close, but you just can't top Fallout for being a well rounded and well made CRPG.

 

[Constipated Craprunner]

It is amazing.
My Char is an all but maxed out Snip/Dip at level 13 and 80 hp.
I have gone through all of the quests, but now I am doing odd jobs for caravan companies for money and xp.

 

[Ibbz]

I have yet to see a "perfect" rpg and thus i'll refrain from voting but their have been plenty of good ones

 

[wizard]

well, the best I have played is BG2.

 

[Sheriff_Fatman]

For the love of God, Wizard, RUN! Go now, while you can, and don't look back. If the baying sounds get to close, take your own life before they catch you.

 

[Xerophyte]

I suppose it's possible that the best cRPG someone has played is BG2. It'd have to entail not having played pretty much every other cRPGs in existance, with the exception of Betrayal in Antara, Lands of Lore 3 and a few others, but it's still possible. Everyone has to start somewhere and all that.

I mean, it's not as if we, the caring and considerate staff and boardmembers of the RPG Codex, would somehow flame, insult, threaten or otherwise act condescending towards some runt who thinks BG2 is even worth the value of the cardboard box containing it. Nono, not little old us . . .

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!

Play Fallout. It beats BG2 hands down.

 

[Dan]

BG2? the best? but why? how? why?

I guess I would think the excact same thing it was the first and last game I ever played.
YOU MUST TRY FALLOUT.

 

[VasikkA]

Why is Ultima poll-option missing?
My vote goes for 'Other series' then.

 

[Lord Warrior]

Fallout is the best, of course, altough Wasteland is very near.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

My biggest beef with Wasteland is how many random combats pop up in the game. You really can't go very far at all in the game without getting a few of them. They also happen both in towns and on the world map, so there really isn't a haven from having to deal with them at all.

I also wish the graphics for Wasteland marked what buildings were special, like shops and things, and which were abandonned buildings placed in to take up space.

Why? Havent played others of those in the poll
How? Good question!
Why? Same answer as in the first why

And I will try fallout as soon as possible. BTW, does fallout work on Win XP?

Yes it does work with Win XP. Go here and look at the FAQ under the "How can I install to WinNT ?" part to see what to do.

You should definitely try a few of the other games in the poll. I certainly wouldn't say BG2 was the best

As for my choice, I will refrain from making one. There are a lot of RPGs that I think are great and its very hard to choose, its more a case that I have different reasons for liking each of them

 

[wizard]

Well, I will get Fallout soon and I am able to play Final Fantasy soon too!

 

[Temaperacl]

I think if I looked at the qualities of the games I have played objectively, then Fallout would come out on top. Ignoring any attempt to be "fair", then I'd go for Wasteland, which I've probably enjoyed most out of the CRPGs I've played..

 

[Tormented Reality]

Play Fallout. It beats BG2 hands down.

Play Planescape; much better than BG2 and even rivals Fallout.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Play Planescape; much better than BG2 and even rivals Fallout.

PS:T is much better than BG2, but I don't think it rivals Fallout in more than a couple of areas. It's much more linear and uses that awful Infinity Engine combat. I also think the dialogue was a bit too one sided. A lot of the dialogues were the kind where the NPC would talk for a long time, and then you'd be presented with the choices of, "Go on." or "Let's stop talking now."

But PS:T is still, by far, the best use of the Infinity Engine and one of the best D&D games ever made.

 

[HanoverF]

The only thing that detracts from Fallout is sticking Fallout 2 up there with it...

 

[Constipated Craprunner]

Aye, true, true.
Tis like 'havin MOO 'wit MOO2, Dune 2 'wit Dune 'an The First Godfathers with The Godfather 3.
Seroiusly though, great quote. I cant wait until I can get my hand on a dimensional-travel machine to see the one Tim Cain made!!!11111
(The above quote is sarcasm)

 

[Rayt]

I'd say Planescape Torment. The story of that game rocked and I never had a similar gaming experience with any other game. Though I have to add that combat was a bit sucky.

I've played Fallout, but only as a enforcer...i.e I just shot everything. Now, I've found out on the BIS boards that instead of shooting you can use words as well. So, I have to replay this game to see how this works. Maybe after that I might change my vote.

 

[ShadowLurker]

Well my choice for best RPG ever would have to be Fallout 1.
