RPG of the year. . .
   

I know it may be a bit early for this, but what (in your opinion) has been the best RPG of 2003?

I've only played 3 new RPGs this year:
Neverwinter Night: Shadows of Undrentide
Lionheart
The Temple of Elemental Evil
(I played Freelancer, but that didn't strike me as an RPG)

I hope to also play Gothic 2 and Geneforge 2 some time this year.

But so far I'd say that ToEE has my vote.

No surprise that it is Gothic 2 for me. With TTOEE (almost by default) a not-so-distant second.

Since I have played GII last year, it wouldn't count for 2003, correct?
Then let's make that Arx Fatalis.

G2, ToEE...but there's still a chance for a few others (DX2, KotOR).

Looking generally at the RPGs this year, there were very few AA/AAA titles. Titles like Harbinger (action CRPG), and Lionheart would quickly left out from gamers attention.

The only big CRPG (although it's also for Xbox) is KoTOR. And i think very likely that most game magazines and online gaming sites would pick it as Game of The Year.

As for me, the best (for now) is Gothic 2, followed by TOEE (passable). However, i'm very likely to pick KoTOR as GOTY after the game is out for PC.

Best Game
   

Since my copy of Gothic 2 hasn't made it here yet I'll have to say Arx Fatalis.

Since I haven't gotten around getting into Lionheart or ToEE... the only "new" RPG I've played this year is Gothic 2... so, compared to that "game" (lol), I have to say that Enclave is the RPG of The Year.

I haven't played Gothic 2 or ToEE, but I'll probably lean towards Gothic 2. I've been playing Gothic and NWN lately, both RPGs released in previous years.

Yeah, I agree, I liked G2, I'm about to install Lionheart, but I have a sneaking suspicion I won't like it The best RPG I've played this year would be Summoner 2 by a stand-out MILE!!! OOppss I played Morrowind too Uummmm, Ohh damm And Mistmare..... Ummmm again. Ohhh Gawd and Arx. Aww Shite.... I dunno They're ALL so good!!
