Archmonarch Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 What are the quintessential RPGs? Those that stick out in your mind above all others? What games should every RPG fan play before truly calling themselves a gamer? Note: I do not have enough experience to contribute, so this a blatant attempt to get tips for games I should play. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
Baley Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Depends on how far back you wanna go.

Honorable Mentions: Anachronox Deus Ex System Shock 2 Kult Icewind Dale 2 Kotor 2
Petay Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I dont have much experience with RPG's at all really, so the only one i can recommend is the best one ive played, which is KotOR1. I have been thinking about trying out the Fallout series though..
Musopticon? Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Akalabeth! No, not really. But a decent rogue-like, like ADOM or Nethack is a must. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Baley Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I enjoyed both Dark Sun games too. For a decent 3D rogue-like try Fate. Oh and I'd suggest Spiderweb's Avernum and Geneforge series.(alas I've only been able to play the demos)
Musopticon? Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 And NetherGate! The setting was one of the best I've ever seen. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

Guest Fishboot Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) The answers to this kind of depend on how much one is interested in "RPG appreciation" (in which case you would want to play "historic games" even if they had problems or are now totally outmoded) or if you just want to cherry pick the best few games. As far as "RPG appreciation", I'd say (here's where I look on the Wikipedia CRPG chronology): Ultima I Rogue/Nethack Dragon Quest/Final Fantasy Wasteland The SSI D&D games Ultima Underworld Betrayal at Krondor Diablo Daggerfall Fallout Ultima Online Final Fantasy VII Baldur's Gate EverQuest PS:T Deus Ex Morrowind Provisionals: KotOR VTM:B World of Warcraft Edited September 7, 2005 by Fishboot

Musopticon? Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Not Sudeki? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

Musopticon? Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Indeed it seems so. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Bill Gates Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I belive this to be a better list: Dungeon Siege Dungeon Siege:LoA Dungeon Siege 2 Fable Fable:The Lost Chapters Sudeki Sudeki PC(even better) Jade Empire
Calax Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Deus Ex Fallout Final Fantasy (at least one of them; not eleven) Kotor Fable Lost chapters Baldurs gate 2 Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Gabrielle Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Fallout 2 Fallout <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Those two and Baldur's Gate.
EnderAndrew Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Ultima IV-VIII Ultima Underworld System Shock 2 Fallout 1 & 2 Planescape Torment Final Fantasy II/IV (depending on US or Japanese name) And how does a game like Dungeon Siege or Fable make this list? How does Fable: Lost Chapters make any list when it isn't even released yet?
