I won't have a very large list due to thus far not often encountering what I consider to be memorable games.

World of Xeen
Realms of Arkania 1
Knights of the Old Republic


I could mention other RPGs, but I would prefer my criteria to have a ceiling.

1) Do sEx. / Fallout/ Escape from Tournament Planet

Excellent at whatever they wanted to do.

2) Jagged Alliance 2
Best RPG TB mechanics. Even Better than Fallout in that respect.


3) XCOM: UFO Defense
Best over all game design and variey.


4)Mount and Blade: Warband
Best free-form open world RPG with amazing modding capacity and implementation of RT combat

5) Arcanum
Best world design

6) Fallout: New vegas
Best quest branching and design

7) NWN2: Conan Chronicles
Amazing choice and consequence

8) TOEE
Passable implementation of DnD mechanics in a computer game

I'm sure there are better games out there (MOTB, which I am playing through now) but I just wanted to include games I finished and enjoyed. Darklands is a great game, but I never finished it, the same as Wizardry 6.

I can't keep lurking when there's a list to be made.

Ultima 4
Ultima 5
Ultima 7: BG
Ultima 7: SI
Ultima Underworld
Gothic
Gothic 2 + NOTR
Arcanum
Fallout 2
Jagged Alliance 2
Wizardry 8
Realms of Arkania 1
Deus Ex
System Shock 2
Lands of Lore

That's the best I can do. I grew up with consoles, so now I'm working backwards and uphill against a backlog that spans almost thirty years. If a game came out before 1993 and it's not on the list, it's probable that I haven't played it.

I think that is about it. I could add more names, but they all lack that something compared to those on the list.
