I also went for BioWare... Baldurs gate or NwN are some of the best RPGs out there...

i voted other - troika - pretty much just for vampire the masquerade: bloodlines - i think it's by far the best roleplaying game ever made, and one of the best games ever made... i have only limited experience with other troika games, but i think one masterpiece is enough for anyone

i'd put bioware a very close second - although i've only played baldur's gate 1 & 2 and nwn (i really hate star wars) - but dragon age is my most anticipated rpg right now

black isle/obsidian is a difficult company to call, since they went from genius to mediocrity over the last ten years

and blizzard is well worth acknowledging, while their actual roleplaying (in the p&p sense) is pretty non-existent, they're the company for skill/item based character development - at least until flagship gets its flagship game out

good poll - difficult choices

The reason I didn't put Troika on the poll was because the company no longer exists and they made only 3 ( great ) games. Black Isle ( great developer ) no longer exits, but Obsidian ( not so good developer ) exits ( made from former developers from Black Isle and some other developers )

Black Isle, but I was forced to chose Bioware as you included Obsidian into Black Isle. Obsidian is only a shadow of Black Isle's former self.

I was struck between BioWare and Blizzard, but I've chosen the first one. They made more great games than Blzz, and GUYS! They made KOTOR! :P

Relic is the best developer right now, if you ask me.

Company of Heroes is really one of the best strategy games ever made. Dawn of War + Expansions is also among the best. Then there is the Homeworld series which is a classic.

I'm pretty sure BI would win if it wasn't saddled with Obsidian in the poll.  Anyways, Planescape and Fallout > all so my vote goes with them.

Er.. Since when is Blizzard considered an RPG developer? WOW is a MMORPG which are not RPG's (and they are responsible for the extinction of real rpg's) but unfortunately the term has lost it's meaning and even games that have about 1,5 lines of dialogue nowadays are considered one. Diablo is an isometric action game not an RPG. CRPG is a dead genre and the last great one was BG2.

Black Isle. Though Baldur's Gate and NWN are excellent, Fallout and Torment are unforgettable.

I voted for Black Isle. You shouldn't have included Obsidian though.

Black Isle. Bioware is good (KOTOR and NW are fun, albeit clunky, and BG2 was awesome) but really...Fallout, Fallout 2 and Planescape: Torment are enough to give it to Black Isle, Obsidian or no.

Plus, they helped out with Baldur's Gate, though I don't really know to what extent.
