You can only choose one. And aside from Neverwinter Nights. ;)

For me, it's the Baldur's Gate series.

Baldur's Gate series (and part 2 was the best of the series, imo) was like Diablo but with a good story!

Chrono Trigger. Bar none. The only game I have ever played through more than once (!) I played FF7 to completion about 1.5 times, didn't get around ot beating it the second time around.

This one is so close to number 1 for me. My friends and I would sit around and play it for HOURS.


My favorite though has to be the Elder Scrolls series. I don't want to put any of the games above the others as they are all equals for their time imo. Each has taken a HUGE chunk of my life (I have over 400 hours in Skyrim alone) and I could get sucked into any of them as easily as opening the program and that's my next month.

I loved the hell out of Baldur's Gate, and I think I still have them on the shelf.

That's a really tough one, especially since I've been playing games for about 34 years now, and played a ton of good ones. I've always enjoyed the Might & Magic series, but I think when I get down to the root of it all it's probably The Legend of Zelda.

That game lead me down the path that eventually led to PC and console RPGs, which are still my favorite type of game to play.

A good point, I would have to agree that LoZ definitely gave birth to my affinity for video RPG's.

Planescape: torment.
Baldur's Gate is awesome, but PS is as far as I am concerned the best role-playing game I have ever played. A deep story, interesting characters and a game where roleplaying and reasoning is more important than your ability to steamroll enemies.

Yes! I forgot to add this one to my list. I haven't yet beaten it, but right now I'm in the process to try again. :) At the Broken Hand dungeon, which is a pain in the Arse. :ouch:

Tough!

If I had to choose just one, the one that I played the most and have the fondest memories of- I'd say Colonization.

If this were a "desert island" choice, like we can bring one game with us and that's the only video game we can play, I'd say Civilization V.

I gotta agree with that. Civ V is one of those games you could almost play infinitely. Especially if you have access to the mods for that game.
