wtf! GOSH! That a lot harder than I thoghtt it was going to be because there is no Black Gate on my list but I had to dig down and think about the enjoyment what games brigh to me so the early Ultima of course are on the list because I was little when my brother would play them and then it wasn't until Ultima 6 I finally play one on my own instead of watch all the time but I fell in love with the world and the places of how they were in the same places game after game and you would run into the same people when you would return to Britannia so because of those early experiences from my childhood those were the three Ultima games I have such fond memories of even though Ultima 7 is a great game too I was older then so that brings us to Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 with the world you could explode and the people who met in the first world one and meeting them again in the second world had that same sort of feelign as the Ultima games right and with Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 especially 2 it reminded me a lot of Ultima games with the explorashun and sailing like when you first get a boat and visit far away islands or a lighthouse you just cannot get to via a moongate and those are my choices because of all that!

Thanks,
Sherry

The biggest problem with polls like these, in my humble opinion, is not the 25 points system (which is obviously flawed as well). I think it's mainly the bias towards games that were played recently.
I have played or replayed all the games above in the last ~5 years. I have also played many other classics like IWD, TOEE, SS2, KotOR, but I played them 10-15 years ago and I don't remember anything about them.
That's why I cannot rate them, unfortunately.
