BG2, Fallout 1 and 2. These games tie for awesomeness.

Chrono Trigger, no doubt, but one of my favourites is Earthbound. Boy did I ever love that game when I was 14.

In my experience, Morrowind had the best "feel" to it. In terms of choice and other mechanics, games like Fallout have it beat, but when it comes down to putting yourself in the characters shoes (or heavy armor boots, whatever) Morrowind has all the other games beat.

Codename33

Good answer. I'd say Fallout 1 edges out the competition, if for nothing else but being first of its kind in awesomeness.

And for having an attribute called "Child Killer". That's just so over-the-top crazy, it speaks for itself.

FF7 is the best Japanese RPG for me, and Neverwinter Nights is the best Western RPG.

Ugh...and outside of a couple of possible responses (such as Chrono Trigger or FFIII), all the Japanese regurgitated same-old-crap-in-a-new-box responses do nothing for me, save scream "IMANOOB".

Edit: Okay, I'll take FF7 as not too noobish. I disagree with it as being best, but I could see how some people might have some very fond memories of it.

I think WRPGS and JRPGS should be taken in completely different context of each other. Both have radically different gameplay experiences, even if both involve leveling up and choosing abilities, etc. It's all a matter of preference, although I do enjoy WRPGS more than JRPGS.

For me personally I'd say Xenogears (not Xenosaga, I thought that series was trash), although FF Tactics beats it if it can count as an RPG.

I agree, although I like WRPGs much more then JRPGs these days (I can't name a single JRPG that has caught my attention in the past 5 years) that doesn't make me a noob for liking some older JRPGs that were actually outstanding.

My favorite is FFIX. Not many people would agree with me, though. Another great RPG was Golden Sun and Golden Sun II.

I think we're all on the same page here. WRPGs leave JRPGs in the dust in terms of story and content. There haven't been any recent JRPGs that are worthy of note to me either. Sure, someone can cite FFX as "OMG Best Evar!", but then I can cite that person as having either too little experience to be worth listening to, or having poor taste.

Dues Ex 1. and before anyone says its not an RPG....it is. has all the standards required to be a rpg, from levelling up to a cracking story. DE1 is also the best game ever made imho.

Planescape Torment easily... better than any Wor JRPG by far. Baldurs Gate 2 and all the final Fantasies are no match... Wasteland is also high up there (higher than Fallout even I think)...
