    I don't play a lot of RPGs, but the original Fallout is definitely up there for me. Fallout 2, as well... those games had an awesome setting, and a brilliant character system. Besides them, the ones that come to mind that I invested a fair bit of time in are KOTOR and Skyrim. Deus Ex is anorther, I suppose, come to think of it.

    Not a console game, but the singe best PC RPG is the late 1999 game Planescape: Torment. A game of great depth, humour and soul, and like so many that came before and since, largely ignored when it first came out and only now rightly regarded as a classic. It helps that it was made by the same people who gave us the original Fallout games.

    RPGs used to be my favourite genre, but in the past five years or so I've almost completely lost interest in them. However, I do have a lot of great memories.

    Lufia II, Chrono Trigger, and Phantasy Star IV are the holy trilogy of RPGs as far as I'm concerned. Final Fantasy IV, Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, and Paper Mario get an honourable mention.

    I'm surprised you didn't know about SO:TtEoT, because it is far from what you'd call 'obscure'.

    Here's some more RPG recommendations for the consoles I already mentioned:

    * The Legend of Dragoon; Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete (thanks Kelthaz; this is one I'd forgotten about); Chrono Cross (thanks Robert Maxwell; this is another one I'd forgotten about); Final Fantasy Tactics (PS1)

    * Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits; Grandia III; Ephemeral Fantasia; Summoner; Romancing SaGa; The Mark of Kri; Mega Man X: Command Mission; Kingdom Hearts I and II; dot hack/Infection (PS2)

    * Faxanadu; Willow; The Guardian Legend; The Legend of Zelda: The Adventure of Link; Final Fantasy; Rygar (NES)

    * Lufia and Lufia II; The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)

    * Fallout 3 (PS3)

    I left The Guardian Legend off my list because I don't consider it an RPG, but it is one of my favourite games on the NES. It's nice to see someone else who is a fan of this underrated classic. Who would have thought Zelda crossed with Gradius would work well?

    Faxanadu and Rygar are no slouches either.

    Kelthaz: I love The Guardian Legend, but am confused as to why you'd reject it as being of the RPG genre when it is clearly a hybrid of the Action RPG and Third-Person-Shooter game types, what with the weapon customization, leveling up, etc.

    Sure, your character gets stronger as you play the game, but the same is also true in Mega Man.

    As much as I love the FF series, Chrono Trigger gets the vote for best. Ever.
