It's a good list, even if mine would be quite different. However, it's a shame that there isn't any blobber in the TOP 10. The highest rated blobber is Wizardry 8 (18th place). Gothic II should be in the TOP 10, too. Besides, I miss at least one of the Realms of Arkania games.

Looks like an okay list, but I have to report that there seems to be a bug, as I cannot find Todd's magnum opus, Skyrim. Must've been something going awry during the upload.

288 posts and you've yet to ever say anything remotely insightful, impressive.

If you want discussion about this list, say something that incites it, retard.
Oh shut the fuck up know em all, your shitty attitude is getting tiresome. You wrote some (two?) reviews for Codex and now you feel entitled to piss on everybody. Idiot...
Bald retard alt crawled out of his piss filled hole in GD and has the nerve to address me?

Respect your superior, peon.

I can already see the tears rolling down your face while you tried and failed to make a valid point against what I wrote, then had a panic attack because I said it in a mean way.

For the sake of posterity, it's a good thing we did the real original top 50-70 list before it was too late when we did. It's not perfect but it provides a much better frame of reference for the contributions different games brought to the cRPG genre.

Fallout eclipsing Planescape is #JusticeAtLast though, possibly the sole improvement on this list although I might be able to think of others if I tried.

How did Dragon Ass: Origins make it into both the 2019 and 2024 lists? The genesis for the decline in modern RPG's. Meretricious nonsense - all style and no substance. For me a head slam into the desk and immediate uninstall. It's inclusion proves there are a few fanboi retardos lurking on the codex. Also Witcher 3 far too low. Top 10 look about right but not a fan of Pain in the Ass Torment

Why the fuck is Mass Effect in this list.

I'll admit I enjoyed it as a guilty pleasure, but yikes. Is that really one of the top?

because a number of people voted for it, fuckwit. this list is not curated in any shape or form, it's a popularity contest for what rheumy eyed geriatrics happen to remember.

Oh god, I've completely missed that time of the decade again where we gloriously argue what THE BEST RPG OF ALL TIMES (c), AS OBJECTIVELY DETERMINED BY OUR OWN PATENTED RPG-O-METER is.

Missed my chance to finally convince everyone else that Fallout 1 DEFINITELY isn't the best RPG ever, that Morrowind shouldn't be in the Top 10 and that Wizardry 7 should be higher than... WTF 28TH?!!1 DIE OF ASS CANCER RETARDS!1!!1

The trick is to run your own toplist in a few years' time, with a completely honest and balanced ranking system
