    Tough call.

    At the mo I'd say either The Witcher 2 or Dragon Age: Origins, not only did I thrive on both but they can both can be replayed from various angles, so it'd keep things fresher for longer.

    That said, it's been ages since I played either. So would have to return to them to see what I thought of them now.

    newtmonkey octavius I'm curious about the Deathlord pick, as I have a lot of respect for your opinions.

    I chose it because it's a massive game that's also massively difficult that I'd love to play and finish someday, but I know I would never have the time to do so unless I was on my deathbed and basically had nothing else to do. I think my second choice along those same lines would be Fate: Gates of Dawn.

    I think I'd regret not putting significant time into Deathlord—which is like Ultima with Wizardry combat—especially if I were on my deathbed.

    I can't really decide, so I choose one in every major category:
    Fallout
    Baldur's Gate
    Might and Magic VI

    Van Buren, so that I can visit another dimension where it exists before dying.

    Something really short like Fallout. I'd be shit scared by my impending death and surely wouldn't be able to enjoy playing a computer game. So, assuming there is no chance for survival in this scenario, I would want to get it over with as quickly as possible.
