Couldn’t agree more, Baldur’s Gate II is the best rpg ever.
I am currently enjoying Warhammer Online as well as Fallout 3 on pc. I wouldn’t waste time playing fallout 3 on any console, the vanilla game is decent but rather dull. A modded fallout on a good pc is utterly amazing, and it will only get better as modders continue to make it what it should have been, much as they did to Oblivion.
Best RPG ever.
If you think so highly of Baldur's Gate II, then you should REALLY try to find a copy of the masterpiece known as Planescape: Torment. It was developed by Black Isle Studios, who also developed the Baldur's Gate series (In fact, Torment uses the same Bioware Infinity game engine to operate). As good as Baldur's Gate II is (and BGII is fantastic), Torment surpasses it and transcends to a whole new level.
It is completely unlike any other RPG ever made (intentionally). For example, the one attribute most people have learned to ignore in classic RPG's, Wisdom, is the most important one in Torment. Conversation (and actual role playing the character) is equally and for much of the game far more important than the combat.
I love RPGs and out of all of them I've played, Torment is by far the best of the best. Nothing I've played since Torment (in 1999) has left me with as great a satisfying RPG experience.
