You said the best so Ill say Morrowind.

enjoy

[whargoul]

It kind of depends on what type of RPG your talking about. Morrowind, anything from Bioware, Final Fanatasy 7, and Grandia 2 are some I like, though they all play quite different.

[Surge1243]

Are we talking just PC or consoles too? I'd have to say Final Fantasy 7 (the PSX version) hands down.

[Doobie]

Any Final Fantasy.....

Legend of Zleda Ocarina of time

avx, i hadn't considered Zelda as an RPG until this dude said, "wow, you're buying TWO RPGs in one day!" and I had bought Xenosaga and Zelda the Wind Waker. I thought about it and I was like, wow, Zelda DOES have a bunch of RPG like elements.

Anyway, my favorite RPG is Final Fantasy IX. That is the greatest Playstation title in my opnion...

[Nuclear Krusader]

Fallout and Fallout 2.

Surprising no one has mentioned DeusEx, one of the best RGPs.

LoL - Well I dont have a normal definition of what RPG is sleepy

I figure that any game that takes me over 12hrs to complete, deserves the title RPG...The first time I played Zelda it took me forever and a day...but now I got it down to a pattern...so I can beat it in like 4hrs..

Still a great game...I heard wind walker was lame though...much like that Major Mask crap...

[Gjc856]

I really like Phantasy Star Online, although I played it on the dreamcast for free. Now it's on the Xbox but with a monthly fee and I think on the gamecube.

I saw morrowind and the expansion in my pretty much daily trip to best buy the other day, i almost picked up morrowind cause i need a new game but i was like na ill wait. So im deciding between morrowind and C&C generals. Also rise of nations looks pretty good.

[Prew]

Neverwinter Nights if you like turned based D & D games

Naw, Zelda the Wind Waker is a great game. seen it myself (bought it for my little sis). i didn't really like the tropical settings in the game though. majora's mask was supposedly better than Ocarina of Time! i dont know how that could be? anyway, all i'm saying is that most people regard ALL of the Zelda games as great but that's probabaly cuz they're a bit biased...

If ya pick up Morrowind dont forget Tribunal expansion and the Bloodmoon expansion . Make sure to check out Pirates of the Carribean next month from Bethesda.(makers of Morrowind and the Elder Scrolls trilogy)

Thats a platforming game not an rpg. you PC gamers are so uninformed when it comes to console games...

[whr2206]

Earthbound Mother 2 for the SNES was ALWAYS and still is my favorite... I dont know why... but I never get tired of it..

AFter playing diablo 2 you still dont realize why its better to pay a monthly fee ?

[jadidas]

Morrowind is by far the best RPG ever.

[aym]

My favorites are Neverwinter Nights, Diablo, and Diablo II.

In my 20+ years of gaming ive never seen anything like it.

Sleepy post, did the cel-shading of the game take away from it, at all? I'm not all against Cel-Shading, as some games have resulted into better games (in my opinion) than if they were 3D (JSRF, Simpsons Road Rage However I really would've appreciated the 3D world or Zelda, and have been post poning the purchase of the game for this reason....What was your opinion of it?

Thanks,

[Markoman01027]

Morrowind and Dark Age of Camelot. One is single player RPG, and the other is an online RPG.

uh oh! you have asked someone who has been an advocate for cel shaded games since day one! ilove cel shading. yes, it is a short cut in that textures are so damn easy to make, but heck, i just love cartoons and i love cutesy graphics. (i also love ralistic ones too) but anyway, no, the cel shading did not take away from the game because of this one big reason!... Zelda was made for cel shading. period. Look at the SNES version. it SCREAMED cel shading with its vibrant colors and extremely stand-outish shapes. even look at the N64 incarnations with the gorons and the characters. the were basically cel shaded from the start.

i dunno, i think the realistic backgrounds of the 64 games were amazing and brought about feelings of awe and excitment but what about the cel-shaded graphics??? i think they bring more majestic and timeless feelings....

that's my take.

[Joeberg]

I understand you point of view. I don't dislike cel shading, I just wondered if it might've taken away from the game a little. I like the cartoonishness of cel shaded games aswell, just was wondering...
Thanks,
