list is pretty damn good

Baldur's Gate II literally CRAPS on every other major rpg ever made

Way better than any mass effect, elder scrolls, dragon age, better than any final fantasy, any fallout, any other rpg ever made

next would be icewind dale series, then neverwinter nights, then the witcher 1

every one of those games as well destroys any mass effect/skyrim/whatever cookie cutter rpg!

not that those games are bad, the are just paint by numbers, lead you by the nose

the best elder scrolls game by far is morrowind, you can mod it and it looks way better than skyrim on xbox or ps3!

Pintheshadows4214d ago

You forgot Planescape Torment.

cunnilumpkin4214d ago

agreed, I do love that game as well, but the humor and heavy dialog make it almost a category of its own, I almost don't consider planescape an rpg in a way, it is its own genre in a way

but yes, planescape, imo, is better than neverwinter, though not quite bg2 level

Pintheshadows4214d ago

I agree, it is a very very unique game and a stone cold classic. To me BG2 and Planescape are the pinnacle of Infinity Engine games.

WarThunder4214d ago (Edited 4214d ago )

1- Darksouls
2- The Witcher 2
3- Divinity II
4- Neverwinter Nights
5- Final Fantasy VIII
6- Baldur's Gate II
7- Diablo 2
8- Knights Of The Old Republic
9- Deus Ex
10- Mount & Blade: Warband
11- The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
12- Skyrim
13-MassEffect (the Original) ME2/3 are not RPG games

Pintheshadows4214d ago

I like that you included Divinity 2. A lot of people really dislike that game but I really enjoyed it. Had a great sense of humour much like its predecessors.

MadLad4213d ago (Edited 4213d ago )

Same here.
Divinity 2 was fantastic.
Truly a great sense of humor, good character progression and just an overall well told story.
Truly a great roleplaying game.

Here we go... a top (insert number) list. One person's opinion becomes a heresy to the gospel of gaming, and everyone must pick up their pitchforks and burn the witch. Dramatic... I know... but some of you need to calm the ____ down. It's okay... you don't have to agree with the author's list. I don't. Hell, I don't even respect his opinion... but his list is his list.

CanadianTurtle4214d ago

How did you get Fallout New vegas higher on the list than Fallout3?

Neckbear4214d ago

Because it's a game that actually knows what Fallout is about and realizes its potential fully, unlike 3?

Moncole4214d ago

Because its a better game and got way better RPG mechanics.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro1d 2h ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

Christopher9d ago

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

anast7d ago

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

jznrpg8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic7d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee8d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator7d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast7d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.

Fallout 3 Remaster is coming after Oblivion Remastered, but "it'll be a while" until we see it

The rumoured Fallout 3 Remaster is still in development, but it will be years until fans get to play it on new platforms.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher9d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy9d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

Christopher8d ago

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster9d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot9d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

neutralgamer19928d ago

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal8d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

anast8d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.
