Best game ever was Star Control 2, now this is going back a bit ( req spec 10Mhz cpu) but some fans redid it so it works with xp and has vocals ect.
my original thread is here

Aran has run around in various forms in balders gate, NWN, warlords ect but i think the best of the D&D type games was torment.
Torment is great as it had interesting characters and storyline, and for most of the game you couldnt die (you just woke up on the slab again)
First time i did it was as a fighter, second time as a mage and i tell you, being a mage makes a word of differance and opens a lot of new doors.

For resent games a really good one is fahrenhiet, its more like an interactive movie but the characters use the sam animation method as gollum did on LoTR and its a very involving story.

Best roleplaying games imo is Bards Tale 1-3, Wizardry 1-5, Ultima 1-5, Wrath of Nicodemus, Legend Of Faergeil, Fallout 1-2..

Warlords was a good game Aran but not sure if I wanna call it a rpg :)

But I admit, Starflight 2 would have rocked in a new pc version with latest graphics :)

Might and Magic 1-8 was brilliant aye. Bards Tale was among the first yes and I wish they would do more games like that really. I've seen the hack n slash bards tale and tbh it was a big disapointment :(

Edit: if you had read through all the posts in this thread you would have notice us discussing bards tale :)
