Forums - Gaming - What game comes to mind when I say RPG

There's a lot to pick from but when you think of RPG what is the one game that defines that word for you?



Around the Network

Fable.

Not sure why, but it's the first that comes to mind.



 

Final Fantasy VI. I'm not that old school.



Oddly, the first thing that comes to my head is not a game, but a company... Bioware

Baldur's Gate, as it defined WRPGs.



Final Fantasy, not any one in particular, just the series.

In that regard I would say Ultima, as it defined the entire RPG genre. Heck, even Dragon Quest, the daddy of the JRPG sub-genre, is massively inspired by Ultima (and Wizardry too)

Lord British, we bow to thee.

I'll say redefined then, as it's more accurate anyway.
