3. Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn: Make It Epic
This game followed my first two points, but the game really succeeded in feeling grand and epic in scale, more than any RPG. In this game, you are the offspring of a god, and you really do feel like godlike stakes are present. The game is huge and the amount of scale you feel with every incredible battle, huge dungeon, and jaw-dropping plot twist has never been matched. Fighting the villains of the game is truly surreal as you truly feel like you are battling something truly dastardly. I remember killing my first dragon, facing my demons, and literally going to hell. This game just feels epic and that you really are on a grand and fantastic quest.

What really made the game feel epic was the atmosphere. The score was excellent, the writing was excellently poignant, and the whole look and feel of everything was hauntingly dark sometimes, but always an epic ride through some of the greatest moments in gaming history. This is truly one of the most involving, deep, and emotionally satisfying games I've ever played and it's a crime that Bioware has been known for comparatively weak titles instead of this masterpiece.
