@Dyre Straits, started the FPS thread and it seems like we have quite a few older and newer gamers on the forum so I thought am RPG thread might get some use as well.
Personally, I was playing RPG's long before the FPS games came out. Maybe starting at age 11 so almost 29 years into those games now and while I love the FPS system, RPG's will always be a favorite of mine.
I played thru (I think it was 7) Ultima 1-7, back when things were text based to start. I also played Ultima Underworld and enjoyed that. I never played the Ultima Online game though.
Other favorites that pop up:
Deus Ex 1 - didn't get into 2 much
Never winter Nights 1-2
Diablo series - all of them
(so many titles I just can't place names too - dang memory. I'm hoping others lists will jog my memory a bit)
I ended with World of Warcraft - yup super nerd here. Spent thousands of hours on that game from day one thru the Ice King add on. Ran a guild of a few hundred regulars and did everything in the game up till then with multiple characters, Druid being my favorite (had a hunter, warlock, priest all leveled and in full raid gear). I stopped playing the same day I got laid off - it's one thing to have a time sink when you are working and have some down time but once I was home 24/7 I knew I would just waste even more hours. While I played though my wife did as well and it was more fun then watching the tv all night for us.
I'm a more options and less specialties type player personally so I like characters that are hybrids.
What RPG's started you into the genre and what are your favorites?
