PC or console (Preferably console though, since i'd rather pay six bucks to rent it, but if it's a real good PC game i'll buy it)

Absolutly no paper RPGs, i hate those things.

The best one I've played is Arcanum. Then there's Baldur's Gate 2 plus expansion, and the Fallout series.

Morrowind owns your soul.

Rented it for XBOX.
didn't like it.

Knights of the Old Republic. One of few games where you have the option to be pure evil to the end.
Favorite Line "Cool, I always wanted my own Wookie slave"

Got it, beat it, loved it.

Meh.. I haven't played any recent RPGs mainly played "conquer the world" type of games.

Fallout, just classic. I Love it.
Also, A good one is Morrwind and the expansion pack. that'll keep you up for days!

Unloads Chezc knock off on Darksider for diss'n the pens, dice, paper and table tops.

Drop's anti armor weapon.

You never said what sort of RPG....

Morrowind's decent, but nothing earthshattering. I'll admit I'm slightly below recommended levels (I have an 800mHz, 192mb RAM. They recommend 800mHz, 256mb RAM), but it lags horribly on my computer (and has frozen three times in three hours just switching locations). It may be due to that, but the choppiness gives me a headache (does the same on my roomie's 1.5gHz, though, so it's probably not just my computer). IMO, 8/10 (I'm in a generous mood tonight).

Seiken Densetsu 3 for SNES. Find the hacked translated rom somewhere and play it.

Im playing Fallout for the second time. It is a great roll playing game, it does seem to have some annoying quirks. Im not sure if they are fixed by the v.1.1 patch or not.

But anyway, you should be able to find a copy in the bargain software sections of stores for real cheap.

PS: The game takes place in a post holohaust world. No elves.

Play Fallout or else I will come after you with my laser gatling gun.

Got a while? Final Fantasy VII for PS1, Final Fantasy X for PS2, and Chrono Trigger for SNES or PS1. All three of them are damn long and damn good.

Im more of a rifle or smg person. Actually, this time around in Fallout Im trying to see if I can fight at little as possible.

Im only level 3 or 4 but my speech skill is 81% which seems to help a lot. At least I get some cool dialog options, but there is no way Id pick some of the really insulting ones.

--edit---

PS: Oh yeah, I just looked up the voice actors on Fallout, I could have sworn one of them is Col O'Neal ( Richard Dean Anderson ). And he is in the game, I was also surprised to see that Tony Shalub and Cree Summers are in there as well. Cree Summers is less surprising , but they hired some respectable talent.

Arcanum is really nowhere near as good as the fallout games and the BG series. It plays like the developers didn't even bother to test the game for balance in combat.

Planescape Torment would be the game I recommended the most.

Diablo belongs more in the Roguelike category than it does in the RPG category.

Best role-playing games? I personally like the one where the girl dresses up as a French maid and pretends to be cleaning your room, but you notice that she didn't make the bed so you decide to "punish" her with a good spanking.

I'll have to agree; from what I've read, that's the best style of RPG, electronic or non-electronic, dice or no dice.

Single-player is kinda lame, though. Not enough variety.
