The Best 2d RPG

[Kdar]

Ok, I guess all played them. So what is the best 2d RPG, fantazy base (no Sci-fi stuff).

For me personaly probobly Arcanum. Maybe grafics is not as other at that time, but gameplay and story is super.

The best i've played would be diablo II.
Although i haven't played many others. You could include Dink Smallwood and Mines of Moria

 

[Zed0]

Baldurs Gate 2

 

[Veldrick]

Definately Baldur's Gate 2.

 

[Scenix]

Rogue or its many variants...perhaps

 

[Worbah]

IWD 2 probably. Or Baldurs Gate. Or Arcanum. Or Pools Of Darkness.

 

[Hardclyff]

No sci-fi you say? It is BG2 then.

 

[ThVaz]

Baldur's Gate 2 no doubt. No other 2d rpg game has it immersion feeling (truly, not even the 3d ones)

 

[Destichado]

Final Fantasy VI. Final Fantasy VI is the greatest RPG of all time. All other RPGs are either precursurs to, or pale imitations of, Final Fantasy VI. It is written.

That said, the best PC RPG would be Arcanum.

 

[Lost-Lamb]

I must say I prefered FFV. But then again I've never enjoyed a game as much as FFVII, ever

Oh, and as for 2D RPG's it has to be Unreal World

 

[Seff]

Baldur's Gate I/II are the best rpg's I've ever played. even better than any 3D.

Look at Modlist or the pocketplane group for MODs for the IE games(thats bg, bgII, iwd, iwdII and ps:t). tutu is especially good

 

[Lhorkan]

But then again I've never enjoyed a game as much as FFVII, ever

That's why they made a film of it.

Planescape Torment!!!!!! it's the best RPG I've ever played, better than BG2 easily. you had cool characters and really warped places to wander around, and loads of character stories and stuff.

 

[Ilex]

True. In the fantasy section Planescape is the closest thing to a real rpg (Unrealworld was too but never got to play it so much, it had limited game time ). Never liked those final fantasies. Phew.

 

[Juno]

I liked Goldensun on my GBA really enjoyable 2d RPG!!

 

[Kdar]

Yea, BG2 is great game too, and also I like GoldenLand 1 and 2
(I dont know if you any of you know this game)

 

[Fluffy The Hamster]

The exile series. Bad choice, eh?

 

[Maelstorm]

Arcanum with no doubt. It gave perfect freedom and nearly many many quests had solutions of "evil/good" "fighter/mage/tek-no-logik guy/talker". The theme was the best ever, though it had not the best graphics ever and had bugs, insider is much more important for a RPG.

Yet, Baldur's Gate series has a sentimental value for me. When i played Baldur's Gate I, i was trying to learn about real FRP/RPG and BG1 was definitely a great low to mid level campaign. BG2 was a great mid to high level campaign and Throne of Baal was an ultimate and and a great high to epic level campaign. Yet, BG series were (BG1 was less, BG2 was more and ToB is much more) linear; both in quest solutions and the main gameplay. That is a minus.

Btw. *coughcoughdiabloisactionnotrpgcoughcough*.

Yea, i had to say that. I know i suck.

Hack and slash RPGs are RPGs nevertheless. They are boring, but still role-playing games.
