Humanoid 1,929 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Ultima 7. By such a margin that I didn't really have to ponder the question at all. Ironic perhaps then, if the thread title is taken literally, since Origin apparently managed to lose the source code for it within months of the initial product release.

Keldorn 26 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Wait...would Jagged Alliance 2 count as a RPG? Of course it would, since it basically is an RPG! You play as a mercenary, follow a storyline, do quests, gain experience points, have loads of stats.. For me it is very difficult to choose! I have several games in mind that remind me of an amazing experience; the Baldur's Gate trilogy, Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger... Oh wait, don't forget about Pokémon Yellow, or Gold - since that game allowed players to return to that first region. Golden Sun was great, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hatori1181 4 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 If I could only save one? Phantasy star online. It wasn't perfect, but the combination of that eternal carrot on a stick, the sci-fi setting, the music, the secret quests. Still brings back some of my favorite gaming memories. Man, I can't wait for the localized version of PSO2. Quote Gamer extraordinaire, Go enthusiast, Sentai fan, coffee connoisseur, hopeless romantic, Zen buddhist, terrible speller. At the same time.

Apatia 45 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Tough one. Apparently everyone else is already saving Torment, BGs, Wasteland, Fallouts etc. so I don't have to. I'll go with System Shock. Can't decide which one so I probably die while trying to save both 1 and 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Krikkert 11 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'd do all in power to save BOTH Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Icewind Dale, or die trying, which wud obviously result in failure and me saving none of them.... :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarcasmoTheGreat 13 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Fallout 3. It changed everything. Best soundtrack in gaming history too. He's hackin and whackin and smackin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaddyMaxson 2 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'd have to agree with FF7. I put so many .... hours.. into that one. Was hoping SE would remake it for ps3... that would have been incredible. I think re-releasing that game looking prettier would've highlighted how bad a game it really is. ...Fallout 2. I'd rather shoot myself in the balls than have FF7 be the only RPG on earth x.x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mo_Steel 0 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Gotta go with Chrono Trigger. What an astoundingly superb game, everything from gameplay to story to art design to music was spot on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sollus 32 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 So what are we saving the RPGs from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mr.Ermac 14 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Dragon Age II Come on bro, don't jerk us around. I'm dead serious, Dragon Age II was a very innovative game. It solved a countless array of problems, from boring things happening when a player pushes a button, to homophobic player companions, to unnecessarily complicated dialogue trees. I hope that Dragon Age III and Project Eternity both take this a step further, making conversations even more cinematic, adding potential LIs with a more inclusive range of sexual identities, and making the combat even more immersive. Confirmed for volourn alt. Also your trolling is really obvious. So what are we saving the RPGs from? The unholly merger of EA and Activision-Blizzard.

phimseto 78 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Suikoden II, but my GameSharked version where my Sui1 hero's name is spelled correctly! (And I'd sneak FF6 out under my coat.) Edited October 18, 2012 by phimseto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RosesandAshes 37 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I can't choose between Arcanum, Planescape: Torment, or Skyrim. If no more RPGs are going to be made, I want something with a ton of replayability and pretty scenery. (Okay, so the older games aren't as pretty, but they're both so interesting.) *looks at her pile of RPGs* Actually, maybe I'll get back to you, I have a lot of JRPGs I'll miss too.....

harhar! 15 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Gothic 2 dndr. Best game in the world and outside Europe nobody knows it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Freshock 154 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 My first thought was World of Warcraft...good choice if i'm looking to waste my life. But I think I'd really pick Titan Quest, because then I'd be able to play AND have a life. I haven't tried Baldur's Gate for long, and never tried Icewind Dale .

septembervirgin 85 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Rolemaster and all accompanying game structures for it. If I had to pick a computer game though, I'm afraid I'd have to forgo a choice until Runequest (in Glorantha) or Rolemaster become salient presences as 21st century computer games. Especially if they had multi-player design-your-own dungeon capabilities. Quote "This is what most people do not understand about Colbert and Silverman. They only mock fictional celebrities, celebrities who destroy their selfhood to unify with the wants of the people, celebrities who are transfixed by the evil hungers of the public. Feed us a Gomorrah built up of luminous dreams, we beg. Here it is, they say, and it looks like your steaming brains." " If you've read Hart's Hope, Neveryona, Infinity Concerto, Tales of the Flat Earth, you've pretty much played Dragon Age." Link to post Share on other sites
Aedelric 276 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 This is a hard question, do I take something that gives endless re-playability? Perhaps a game that has such deep story that I could read over again for ever. Or perhaps a game with such diverse choices which have great meaning where I could revel in how the world is affected around me. I think I would kill myself, a world with only one RPG is not worth living in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Huinehtar 91 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hum... If we had to keep only one RPG... If there would be another RPGs after it, I'd say Wasteland. Because if humanity can keep on dreaming and imagining, there would be some other good RPGs with various environments, another Fallout, another BG, another IWD, another Torment, another Arcanum, etc... Seriously, it's hard to choice between Panzer Dragoon Saga, Fallout, Torment and Arcanum. And if we can wait 2 years for that, I will add PE and WL2 in the list!

casa 73 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Easy, NWN. No way you can ever finish all the community-made modules, and even if, you can then go ahead and create your own one to play alone or with friends. Other cRPGs might be better as far as the main campaign goes, but as for longevity taking mods into account, no competition. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jarmo 804 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 NWN, because thanks to the mod tools and community, there's more content to it than all other rpg's put together. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lolaldanee 164 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 easy: mass effect 2, it has the best dialogs and characters in the history of gaming in my opinion, and at least for me that is the most important thing in an rpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
