In no particular order:

- Knights of the Old Republic 2
- Fallout New Vegas
- Planescape: Torment
- Dark Souls 1&2
- Icewind Dale
- Deus Ex... Human Revolution
- Prey
- Shadowrun: Dragonfall
- Witcher 3
- ...ehhh maybe Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening, or Pillars 1? Something on my backlog could probably take this spot.

1. Deus Ex
2. Witcher 2
3. Dragon Age: Origins
4. Final Fantasy X
5. Morrowind
6. Avernum: Escape From The Pit
7. Shining Force 2
8. Baldurs Gate 2
9. Shadowrun: Dragonfall
10. Geneforge 1

I see X-Com as a tactics game, not an RPG, so haven't included it for that reason. Else '94 would take one of the top 3 spots.

Fuck all the KKK harvesting virtue-signalling cowards in here.

My top 10 has changed over time, currently it's probably this:

  • Mount & Blade: Warband with Prophesy of Pendor mod
  • Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
  • Diablo II with Median XL mod
  • Jagged Alliance 2 with 1.13 mod
  • Borderlands 1
  • Wasteland
  • The Bard's Tale
  • Knights of the Chalice
  • World of Warcraft
  • ZAngband
1. Deus Ex
2. System Shock 2
3. VtM Bloodlines
4. Alpha Protocol
7. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
8. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Someone likes popamoles. Inclusion of the first two is plausible but the rest are inexcusable for a top 10.

You don't get to call your thread "friendly", and then shame someone for being honest at the same time.

This is a friendly thread in which everyone can freely list what they think are the best RPGs. Don't be shy.

Standard stuff:
Baldur's Gate
Fallout 2
Planescape

I like Jeff Vogel's no-nonsense writing style a lot:
Avadon
Avernum 1+2

Kreia is great, so is Durance and the writing in the White March DLC:
Kotor 2
Pillars of Eternity

Everything is good about this game except the end region which I gave up on:
Underrail

Not RPGs but sort of close enough. really edgy dark vibes:
Hollow Knight
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

WoW is in there, which is like Codex public enemy number 2. I'd say give him a pass.
Edit: Ok I retract my statement, he decided to be an ass about it.

Maybe if he wasn't getting so high huffing his own farts, but acting like a patrician who's above it all because of 1/10 contrarian choices (which also happens to be an extremely popular mainstream game) is extremely gay and retarded. Not to mention his perpetual butthurt is really embarrassing.
