    Hellgate London, Oblivion, KOTOR, and Borderlands In that order. Hellgate servers got shut down and it was going to be re-released under the name "hellgate resurrection." It came out in other regions already but no talk of a US release.

    Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines - good call :)

    Dragon Age was very enjoyable too, I thought... pretty much anything Bioware ;-)

    Oh and Torchlight is well worth a look if you like Diablo style games....

    Except for the petulant patch war that's still going on in the background.

    Would've been really nice if Troika were allowed to finish VTM:B though. That would've been worth every penny paid for it.

    Deus Ex rocked. I loved the first on on the PS2. #2 not as much. Hoping the 3rd one is done well.

    Other than that I loved Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2. Mass Effect 2 is the bestest American RPG I have played so far. I normally hate American RGP's, but I loved ME2 :D.

    Oblivion & Morrowind - heavily modded OFC.

    I own The Witcher:EE, Borderlands GOTY, they aren't bad.

    Dragon Age: Origins with all DLC is very good.

    Champions of Norrath and Champions: Return to Arms are the best ARPGs of all time.

    There's a distinction between an ARPG and an RPG that's based around whether the game is streamlined to get you into the action or not. ARPGs are typically less about character building and more about getting in and actually playing the game, so Oblivion an Morrowind aren't really ARPGs.

    Oblivion is, but Morrowind isn't certainly.

    Oblivion is definitely an action RPG... it's almost exactly like Fallout 3 in terms of game design

    i was never real big on oblivion (due to the fact i sucked at it) but FO3 literally took over my life in late 2008 lol
