My favourite RPG games are ......

I thought it would be good to get a 'my favourite' thread going. I'm always on the lookout for new RPG's, or for even those I've loved and forgotten about. Post your favourites and I for one will be checking for hidden/lost gems

Heres my top 10 off the top of my head, you will probably recognise most if not all, but here goes:

1 - Mass Effect 1 & 2 (360) My absolute favourite game of all time. Bring on Mass Effect 3!!!!
2 - Dragon Age: Origins (PS3) Made me actually care about the characters. Way better than Dragon Age 2.
3 - Oblivion: Elder Scrolls (PC) HUGE. Must have spent 50+ hours just looking through crates trying to rob people.
4 - Fallout 3 (PS3) Laser rifles. Nuff said.
5 - Fallout New Vegas (360) Pretty mutch more of the same awesone stuff from fallout 3
6 - Knight Of The Old Republic 1 & 2 (PC) A MUST play for any star wars geek. Like me.
7 - Two Worlds 2 (PS3) Fairly new to this one. Despite it's flaws it's snook into my top 10.
8 - X3 Reunion (PC) Perhaps not strictly an RPG. But close enough for me. Takes FOREVER to get into.
9 - Final Fantasy 8 (PS2) No idea why this is my fave FF game, but it is, recently downloaded for PS3, get in.
10 - Guild Wars (PC) My first real multiplayer RPG experience. Not as popular as it was but still worth a dabble.

So, cmon chaps and chapettes. Lets have em ........

This is my top 9 but it's in no particular order.

Grandia (PS1) - The first game. Second was good, but not good enough for this list.
Wild ARMs (PS1) - Again, the first game.
Final Fantasy VIII (PS1) - 8 was my favourite FF because I preferred the storyline.
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (X360) - Great game, 'nuff said.
Dragon Age 1&2 (X360) - I like both games equally so they can share a spot
Mass Effect (X360) - The first game. Second was brilliant but doesnt get a spot on top 9 because of the silly 'mission complete' screen and CoD style health regen system.
Disgaea 3 (PS3) - The reason I bought a PS3. Hilarious and great battle system.
Breath of Fire 3 (PS1) - One of the best storylines i've seen and it's still a great game even now
Star Ocean: The Last Hope (X360) - Awesome.

I did a top 9 because my favourite RPG will never change.

Azure Dreams.

A PS1 game so the graphics aren't the best but it's an amazing game that is still very playable today. I like it so much because it's so unique. A game that contains only one town and one tower, your journeys take you through the tower looting the floors and returning to the town to purchase things such as house upgrades and decorations or new things for the town such as a casino, theatre or racing track. There are lots of things to interact with too around the town. Fun, and has been since I first played it all those years ago.

My fave are ( in no particular order )

VAMPIRE THE MASQUERADE

There was a PC RPG called Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, not at all sure how much it was based on the traditional RPG. Totally forgot about it!! It was a little buggy at times but overall an awesome game. I feel a purchase coming on, should be able to pick it up for a couple of quid

P.S. apologies for posting this thread in the wrong section to begin with, i'm such a forum doofus

No apologies necessary.....it gives us admins something to do

I had the PC version of VTM, fantastic game in it's day and it was ( loosely ) based on the RPG. I keep hoping and hoping that they release one on the 360 because I'd never get off it

mine areeeee in no order at all

World of warcraft (4 years worth)
Conqure online (getting back into thsi with wotsit when we can get it to work for her)
Lineage 2 (private server, knew the owner of it)
Guildwars (use ot play with college mates)
Aion (the last mmo i played on my pc)
Ragnarok (first one i played)
Mass Effect 2
Dragon age (but this annoys me at times ! stupid save games)
Final Fantasy


i have played so many i cant remember them all i use to play alot of the free ones to see what they were like

I think I played that vampire game. If it's the one where you go into somehwere and it has Chiasm - Isolated playing. Good game.

Did creep me out a bit though.

You start off as human ( a crusader ) and then later on in the game it zooms forward about 600 years to modern day.
