No offence, but many of the titles in this list appear to be there simply because...they were released in the 'good ol' days' I recall them being horrendous even back in the day.

Unlike fantasy characters, older isn't always awesomer.
That said, I remember kid-me drooling over the Betrayal at K box as a kid, but not having the money for it. This thread pushed me to finally try it. Kid-me should have manned up and gotten a newspaper route

Trannies here, trannies there, trannies everywhere... "I am a tranny and proud of it", "Hey come on, be a tranny like me", "Aw, give me a little kiss", "xoxo", "It's cool to be a tranny", "Only an old tranny is a good tranny"
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAJHHHH!!! ENOUGH OF THE T(Y)RANNY!!!
You ought to be the last person to complain about shitty one liners.
But anyhow, here are the games that IMO should not be on that list, out of the ones i have played. There are a few on there I haven't tried.
We really care. Really.
They are?
Yes, some of them are shitty (MegaTraveller 2, Stonekeep), and more are not "must play games".
oh OK.
Look obviously games that are shitty to some people are fun to others, maybe even must play to others. That's ok. I just posted to highlight the fact that perhaps some of these more controversial games should not be on such a list that would give newbies looking for guidance the wrong impression of the genre. So maybe reorganize the list somewhat? Fowyr
For example, Stonekeep. Some may like it, but in my humble opinion it is not a good game, like all the FMV games. Not only does it not look good presentation wise, it is not that good gameplay wise either. Dark Messiah of MnM is far superior.
So perhaps replace it with that, or push Stonekeep far down the list in a 'Controversial, but good for what it is' list.

Can you even read? The list is already organized exactly as you say; e.g. Stonekeep is listed under "some of these games may be shitty".
Oopsies, you are quite correct. I missed that.
Now, get back into the kitchen and make me a sandwitch.

See I was born 1990 and I was mainly Jrpg faggot but when I played Gothic I loved the living fuck of it.
So I started to look for crpg and I played the following :
-Gothic
-Gothic 2
-Gothic 3 ( I like to think it never happened )
-Fallout
-Fallout 2
-Fallout 3
-Fallout 3 : new Vegas
-Dragon Age : origins
-The Elder scrolls oblivion
-Skyrim (Shit was horrible I can imagine old TES fans killing themselves).
I want to play the good old classic rpg but I want to start with one that ease me up to 90's cRPG, specially many of them use
D&D rules which I know jack shit about, a game that intuitive gameplay or explain the rules while playing without resorting to pdf file with 200 pages explaining the rules.

D&D rules aren't that hard to figure out if you played and understood Fallout and Dragon Age.
Easy one to suggest is the original Baldur's Gate, or Baldur's Gate II which is the precursor to Dragon Age. You will be more familiar with the interface after your time with Fallout so learning the rules won't be too bad.

I'd definetly recommend Baldur's Gate II.

If you have to ask you should not be playing either. But GOG.
Yeah, stick with Oblivion then, mate.
