So what do you guys believe is the best RPG ever made? Personally I'd have to go with Chrono Trigger, easily my favourite and personally I believeis the greatest one ever made.

What say you SW?

The correct answer is actually Planescape: Torment.

It has the deepest roleplaying of any game ever.

I just played FFVII again... despite the dated graphics it reminds me what a great game it is.

Somehow I forgot how funny Cid was and how much I hate that Dunk game :P

Now I don't know about best ever but I do know that some of the more recent ones aren't even in my top 10 (looking at you ME, fallout, fable)

It is good that you included Mass Effect Trilogy. You are redeemed :)

Planescape: Torment at least writting and story-wise.

Probably Morrowind or Daggerfall gameplay-wise.

Finally. suikoden 2 is probably the best Jrpg Imo.

That's a horrible poll. The 2 Final Fantasy you posted is not even in the top 3 FF. Anyway, back to the topic. Baldur's Gate on the PC is the best RPG I ever played.

I am going to change that :P Exploration wise and lore - Morrowind Planescape: Torment - Story Baroque - Story-telling Gameplay wise is a tricky one...

How did more people vote Mass Effect than Chrono Trigger? I mean Mass Effect is good, but it's no Chrono Trigger.

People still refer to FF6 on SNES as FF3? Has it not been long enough? I know for a fact you don't mean FF3 as in the original FF3, because its the worst FF next to FF2 IMO.

Planescape is still a story-driven game, combat is given less prominence than in other rpg games.
