Best of the Best
   

I want to know your opinion on two things.
Best RPG of IT'S time.
Best RPG of ALL time.

Well the best RPG of it's time would have to be Final Fantasy. Simply because it was one of the first, and back then, it was all you could ask for in an RPG. Plus more. I still enjoy Final Fantasy to this day. Truly a masterpiece.

I was just recently introduced to the greatest RPG of all time. Gothic.

Fallout.
No more needs to be said.

Gothic is definately the runner up though. I hope Gothic 2 is even better.

Moved to General CRPG.

Best RPG of it's time:
Baldur's gate II, with Lands of Lore and getting my nostalgy vote
Ultima 7: Serpent Isle gets the second place

Best RPG of all time:
This one is tough, but I guess that the first place will be divided between Morrowind and Fallout 1&2, with Deus Ex in the second place

Although Deus Ex is not necessarily a "true" RPG, it was the first that succesfully mixed a FPS and a RPG together and even had a nice plot.

Let's see... best CRPG of it's time... probably Ultima 7... it's still not a bad game by any means. Fallout 1 & 2 are easily the runner up.

Best CRPG of all time (to date): Planescape: Torment... for storyline and medium combat they don't make 'em like that anymore.

Morrowind is out of this one as it’s still too new.

Best of it’s time:
Everything Bioware/BIS have done from Fallout to Throne of Bhall.

Best of all time:

It’s between the BG or Fallout series. Fallout gets it this time for being one of the only great RPG’s in a non-fantasy setting.
