    Cool Top Five RPGs on the PC

    What are your favorite RPGs on the PC? How about PC exclusive RPGs?

    The answer is Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator.

    For all five.

    Also I guess Might and Magic Hero's III if that counts.

    I haven't played a lot, but my faves are definitely Planescape: Torment and the Bladur's Gate series. I also kinda love Icewind Dale, though I still need to dig into part II. Neverwinter Nights was terribly lame until the expansions came along. Those were awesome. Basically, I love the D&D games and it's a shame there's so little of them these days. I've also started Morrowind and I really did enjoy it but I just had to stop playing because for some reason it started to make me feel sick

    This is a difficult topic, damn.

    1: Morrowind. I don't believe it has ever been done better than this. I rather like the gameplay myself anyway, but even if I wasn't a big fan, the world-building, setting, and milieu are absolutely without compare.

    2: Baldur's Gate Trilogy. Counting the two together because mods can make them into one long game But yeah god damn are these some fine games.

    3: Deus Ex. Awwwww trout son this is just the most ballin' badass game ever made, smurf yeah running around the future being a seriously overpowered cyborg with the best music ever composed.

    4: Fallout. An absolute all-time classic that combines amazing gameplay with an incredible setting.

    5: Planet Escape: Tournament. What can change the nature of a man? This. This game can.

    Never been a fan I'm afraid but I guess I would say BattleTech: Crescent Hawk's Inception.
    I still have KotOR on my steam account so I guess I should eventually get around to it.

    In vague order

    Might and Magic VII
    KoTOR
    Skyrim
    Might and Magic VIII
    Morrowind

    I dont love the last 2 but I cant think of many PC RPGs I've played.

    I dont know if Magicka is an RPG but if it is then stick that in there instead place of Morrowind
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    Fallout 3
    Oblivion
    Diablo 2
    Guild Wars
    KoTOR
    and I'd say my favorite PC exclusive would be Guild Wars.

    I recall that! I actually love the books too despite reading what most agree to be abysmal English localizations.

    Do not worry. I am currently on my translation course, working on my writing myself. Hopefully, I will someday get a chance to relocalize them

    Probably Morrowind, but I never did play it enough.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    I concur with the Septerra Core placement.

    I don't play a lot of unported RPGs on the PC, to be honest. I mean, even Mass Effect was originally an XBOX game, even though I'd never dream of playing it on one.

    Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator
    Planescape: Torment
    World of Warcraft (back when it was still good)
    Star Wars: The Old Republic
    Guild Wars
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
