one that I'm playing now and I seriously love is Titan Quest.

General_Iroh
Final Fantasy VI/III (SNES)
Chrono Trigger (SNES)
Mass Effect 1 (360)
Oblivion (PS3)
DA: Origins

Digi
Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time & Link to the Past
World of Warcraft
Dark Sun: Shattered Lands

...not in any particular order. I have a harder time calling cross-genre games like Shining Force II or Mass Effect RPG's but they'd probably make the list.

BloodRawEngine
As of recently, Monster Hunter. Strictly speaking, I kinda see it as a pseudo-RPG in full light, but that would only be because it's completely different from a normal contemporary JRPG, which aren't all that great imo anyway aside from the Tales series--I don't abhor them quite on the same level as someone like Yahhtzee Crowshaw does, granted. But heck, the one JRPG that I'd say is the quintissential example of a generic and uninspired JRPG would be that one Sakura Wars that made it to the states which, incidentally, ain't all that bad a game if it's what you're looking for.

AsbestosFlaygon
MOTHER 1,2,3
Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross

If Zelda is an RPG so is GTA: SA wink

Zelda 2 is the only RPG in the series IMO.

Kosmic King
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI, Fable II (haven't played the first one)

But you still do RPG related stuff in the games erm

I was all over Mass Effect 2 balls when I first played it. At the start of the year I would have said it was the best game I have ever played... but after three more play throughs I have come to realize that nothing you do matters at all. The game plays out exactly the same with only a few minor changes no matter what you do. The game tricks you into think it is open world and that your choices mater on the first play though... but it is an illusion. The only thing that chances is the ending... and that is only if you purposely don't complete the character side quests or make bad choices on who you send to do what on the final mission. Maybe I'm just bitter that it didn't live up to my high oppinion of it on the second playthrough.

Fallout 3
Elderscrolls: Oblivion
KOTOR
Xenogears
Legend of Dragoon
Vagrant Story
FF12
Wild Arms 3

lolwut?

Many people have very very different things happen depending on what they did in the first game, try playing through the first game again with completely different choices and then load the file to see what you get when you play through the second game again. Even if it didn't have those differences though it's still a very immersive and detailed universe populated with interesting characters.

I only kept one saved file from the original Mass Effect, so the choices that are carried over from an import are the same in each consecutive play through. I don't want to replay the first Mass Effect again (it was a mediocre game) just so I can have a different experience in the second one. I have played Mass Effect 2 four times, once without a character important, and the changes weren't exactly significant. I want my choices to have some effect on the outcome of the game I am playing currently, not the next one, I don't really care how Mass Effect 3 will be effected will I am playing 2. The only significant change in the story comes from not completing the game before you start the finale mission. You have all these dialogue options and paragon / renegade choices, and in the big picture it doesn't matter. You play as an uptight ass hole, or you play as a heroic boy scout... and the game plays out exactly the same. Your choices in ME2 have no consequence, that isn't apparent on the first play though, but it becomes pretty clear on the second one, and that severely lowered my opinion of the game. The choices in the first Mass Effect had more impact on the story than they did in the second one.

I will agree that it is a very detailed universe, but each planet I'm mining having a bio doesn't really help me enjoy the game play any more than normal.

Geez... no wonder you got tired of it! you played a 40 hour game... 4 times

I played through twice, once as a sentinel just going with it. Then I played it as an Adept and made sure I had all my choices exactly how I wanted them. The end. I'll probably buy the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC in a few days and finish up that character totally.

Seriously though diversify what you play, find a secondary hobby, play a competitive multiplayer game, or something similar so that you're not playing the same game 9001 times.

I have an ocd thing, I have to 100% everything I play, see all the options and choices. Deadspace nearly killed me with that Don't get cocky, kid achievement almost killed me. sad

Fallout is an RPG. Infact, it's more of an RPG than Final Fantasy is.

In no particular order:-
Elder Scrolls IV
Deus Ex Invisible War
Mass Effect 2

Risen (the PC's cynicism and sense of humor did it for me, the English VA did a great job),

Planescape Torment (story framework was excellent, gameplay is horrid by contemporary standards).

KOTOR 2 (tried to actually inject some life into SW, in an expanded universe where everyone seems to simply want to cash in on the brand, or rehash the OT and/or the prequels).

Cyner
Fallout 2
Final Fantasy 5
Diablo 2
Mass Effect 2
