What is the greatest rpg ever? (2010 edition, Vote!)

I'm not a master of the genre, but out of the ones I've played, despite it being a piece of **** in all kinds of ways, this game is pretty damn fantastic..
Vampire - The Masquerade: Bloodlines

I'm not a huge RPG person, per say. My favorites would be Mass Effect 1 and 2, with Dragon Age following.

Any BioWare RPG.

Including Neverwinter Nights and Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood? :P

Also, TC, if you're still around, awesome avatar, that movie was cIassy. :)

I'm one of those people that find it impossible to pick a favourite, because there are so many great rpgs. A few classics I would like to mention that I don't think anyone has yet are Grandia, Vagrant Story, Suikoden II, Breath of Fire IV and Legend of Dragoon.

Baldurs Gate 2 Shadows of Amn upgraded with Throne of Bhaal.

Never been bettered to this day. Only Ultima 7 came close.

Final Fantasy X

Great game. Flawed, but the flaws are outweighed by awesomeness.

Its an RPG.

Accrding to IGN its an RPG, Gametrailers says its an RPG too, on G4.com its an RPG, at Gamestop they say its an RPG, Xbox.com also say its an RPG, on Biowares own website they say its an RPG while also under accolades quoteing Eurogamer on "BioWare's greatest success in Mass Effect 2 has been taking a complex RPG and making it effortless to understand, play and enjoy on a constant basis…", 1UP and IGN also gave Mass effect 2 an award for best role playing game at E3.

However you want to put it, its an RPG.

BTW, Half-Life is a FPS.

I appreciated what it was trying to do, but no other game has made me feel as physically sick from playing it. Not even James Bond Agent Under fire on PS2.

Mass Effect 2
Knights of the Old Republic

Oh wow. Planescape is #1 on the list, how suprising. :roll:

Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn.

Honestly the only reason people consider it an RPG over FPS is because of the developer. Look at Deus Ex, its widly known as an FPS, because its developer was known for action games. Yet it has far more RPG elements then Mass Effect.

World of Warcraft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUOTE="pelvist"]

[QUOTE="toast_burner"] Its a TPS with some light RPG elements. Calling mass effect an RPG is like saying Half life is a puzzle gamecobrax25

Xenogears, Fallout 2, Lunar: SSS, FFVI, Neverwinter Nights 2, Phantasy Star 2, Planetscape: Torment.

If i only get to pick one from my list it would be Xenogears though the others are of similar caliber.
