[*]Zelda: A Links Awakening - It's too awesome to be left out, even if it's not exactly a RPG.
[*]Final Fantasy - I had one of them for my SNES emulator, can't remember which one it was though, but I believe it to be the really early ones.
[*]Fallout 2 - Although I managed to get stuck almost directly the game is still overwhelming and by far outdoes most more recent games.
[*]Mass Effect - Although the story was so linear it made me sad the game still presented a overall good gaming experience.
[*]Oblivion - Since I've done 99% of all quests and pretty much completed the whole game and enjoyed it all.

May have forgotten some RPG, but considering I couldn't remember it it's probably not mentioning anyway.

Nobody mentioned Baldurs Gate? Or Baldurs Gate 2? Or even Neverwinter Nights? ... wow
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
Planescape: Torment and the Baldur's Gate series.
Im trying to get NWN working on my computer right now but out of the games I have played Mass Effect is for sure my favorite.
Hold on Snow Leopard, imma let you finish, but Windows had one of the best operating systems of all time.
If the Powerball lottery was like Lotro, nobody would win for 2 years, and then everyone in Nebraska would win on the same day.

I've never been a fan of the single-player RPG, so If I played it, it was because I knew for certain I'd like it. I have to go with:
Obviously turn-based isn't for me. The only Final Fantasy I ever played with #7 for the Playstation, and even then I never got through the first cd.
I'm actually a little ashamed these are all recent games being that I'm 23 and my first system was the NES, but I just don't think Single-Player RPGs were any good until they started mixing up the game mechanics.
Im trying to get NWN working on my computer right now but out of the games I have played Mass Effect is for sure my favorite.
Mass effect is one of the best RPGs I have played in years. Some of the older great games, Fallout, Star Control, Baulders gate, are lost on the younger crowd. If they were redone, they would still be great. Playing them now is just torture with the bad graphics and all.
Grand Theft Auto
My favorites are in half of your list! I love FF8-10 (even the 10-2!), Chrono Cross, Radiata Stories & Legend of Mana (not yet finished but really enjoyed those!) and Lunar Silver Star Story! Basically, I LOVE anything made by Square for the PS! (well, except The Bouncer... Didn't actually bought that...)
OMG, how come no one mentioned Shining Force, RPG barbarians!
It blows Final Fantasy out of the water =d.
Shining Force 2 > ALL.
oO, 1000 posts!
Planescape torment felt like being the protagonist to a novel...A very good novel! Played it in recent years and loved it. Sparked memories of my virgin love for Baldurs Gate II when it came out. Never had such a game sparked creativity, adventure, and the longing for the story to never end like Shadows of Amn did. Even with the graphics being...Well...2d. Gadzooks, 2d graphics! It allowed the imagintion to color in the missing spots.
If they could find the right team to make it happen, turning Baldurs Gate II, or placescape torment, into a set of movies would be brilliant.

My favorite single player games are the immersive ones like Fallout and Morrowind. I like both jRPG and wRPG equally though. I loved Xenogears in PSX, and the Suikoden series as well. The best storyline for any single player RPG that I have every played must be Planescape: Torment. It's a very simple game with little to no item grinding, and acutally few battles, but the storyline itself is pretty amazing.
Top 5
Final Fantasy 6 [3 American]
Knights of the Old Republic [1 & 2]
Mass Effect
Neverwinter Nights
Elder Scrolls Series
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
1) Morrowind
2) KOTR II (cuz i played that one first)
3) Chrono Trigger
4) Final Fantasy 7
5) Sudoken 6 (i think thats the right one)

RISING DRAGOON ~AION US ONLINE LEGION for Elyos
I'm probablly showing my age by my picks but here it goes anyway.
SSI's AD&D Gold Box series. In particular the Pools of Radiance and Dragonlance games. Very simple games by even the standards of 10 or 15 years ago but I had a blast playing them!!
Also likes playing the Wing Commander/ Privateer games as well as X Wing and TIE Fighter simulators.
Betrayel at Krondor
The graphics are dated now but still fun to play if you never have. The interface is really cool, a trademark style of Dynamix games. I really enjoy the turn based combat.
Come on, Keltic, man up and say Zork! Then you'll show your true age.
LOL! Well...I do remember the game being out, but I never actually played it. That's as close as I'm gonna get to telling my age!
Chrono cross!!!
I really like Serge and Kid! I also like the jumping from one world-to-another concept of the game!
Take time to smell the flowers!
FF6, FF7, Seiken Densetsu 3, most of the SNES stuff you play on emulators, Diablo, and the list will just get longer. I've been playing them since fifth grade my god. I got a degree and still play the offline ones. Its still the best and gives more satisfaction than online.
When I hold my guitar, I become a different person.
Zork? I loved that game... I didn't get to play the first one though, just Return to Zork, Nemesis and Inquisitor. Wish they would make a modern day equivalent of Zork.
