I'd like us to make a list of all mods as standalone games and have a vote, sort of like Codex Top 101 RPGs.

What made me think of it is that I completely missed Thief: The Black Parade and Castlevania for Doom. I'm sure there's more that I missed and it scares me.

We should gather all info in a single place, vote, figure it out. Help appreciated.

There's nehrim(oblivion) and enderal(skyrim).

There's also archolos(gothic 2).

There's a seperate thread for neverwinter nights, so I'll leave that one off.

I heard blue planet (free space 2) was good, voice acted, and a type of spiritual successor (sequel) to the original campaign.

There's a kotor/star-wars total conversion for morrowind, not sure how good it is, but I heard it's note worthy.

There's the ultima 4 or 5 remake for dungeon siege that I heard is good.

The "protectors" mod for warlords battlecry 3 is good, but not too sure if it's considered a total conversion, I always use it cause it makes it easier to play it. It does use the same overland map as the original, but it's got it's own custom campaign.

Speaking of, this presentation came out today, and they're aiming to release in April. Gonna have to see if it'll be good. It says the protag isn't voiced which is a good sign.

Archolos obviously and if it counts and as autistic as it might be, Stallker Gamma is the shit.

Age of Wonders and HoMM 3 have lots of user-made maps that are far better than the scenarios shipped with the games, and which may take as long time as many standalone games.
The prime examples are Mirror of Galadriel for AoW and Unleashing the Bloodthirsty for HoMM 3.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'mod as standalone game'.
Total conversions that still require the base game?

If so I want to throw Quake 3 defrag into the ring (still not sure if that counts, since it doesn't really modify much of the core gameplay, but completely focuses on one of its core gameplay mechanics — movement — instead; which does transform it into a whole new game in a way. Whatever).
