I stick to BG series since it is the best all rounder.
Planescape has better story but bad combat.
IWD series are vice versa.
Fallout series are big on enviroment, but never struck me as much for gameplay and story.
FF series, at best its the finest counsle rpg series, at worst, its a highly pretetitive game with semi original storyline.
Diable and Doungen Seige are really not RPGs
Morrowind is a game that focuses on exploration. Quests are fedex at best.
Divine Divnity has a good gameplay, but horrouble gfx for its time.
NWN is just too repetive.
KOTOR is about to be the only RPG comparable to BG interms of overall quality, but falls a bit short partly due to into counsle heritage which slightly hindered its gameplay.

I can not stress XENOGEARS for the original PS enough!

That's odd! I LOVED Suikoden (I beat it twice), and loved the second one just as much if not more. It was even more complex than the first! I haven't played Suikoden 3, but I've heard from some people that it's not as good as 1 or 2. I still want it, however -- I'm waiting for it to go down in price. I can't find it for any less than $30 USD USED!

The RPG I logged the most hours on was Chrysalis for NES - anyone remember that one? Had great graphics (for the time, naturally), a giant world to roam around in, and very fun gameplay. Probably killed any chance I would have had at a social life for a year or so..

Favorite PC RPG : Icewind Dale II

Chrono Trigger (SNES)

Secret of Evermore (SNES)
Xenosaga (PS2)
Dragon Warrior (NES)
Phantasy Star 4 (SGEN)

That was a great game, better then any FF SNES in my opinion.

Another favorite series of mine back in the Genesis days was Shining Force.

I agree that DS is pretty awesome, but, may give RPers too light an RPG taste.

bundy · 12-19-2003, 03:24 PM
