September 6, 200520 yr 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

September 6, 200520 yr 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..
September 6, 200520 yr 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
September 6, 200520 yr 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)
September 6, 200520 yr 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

September 6, 200520 yr 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, 200520 yr by Fishboot
September 6, 200520 yr 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? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Morrowind GOTY, KOTOR, IWD, Ps:T, Fallout...that's all I can think of.
