Betrayal at Krondor

Fallout
Gothic

Mass Effect

System Shock
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

It's a shame that I never played a Wizardry, Might & Magic or SSI RPG and only # VIII from Ultima main series (which I liked, but not enough to list it in my Top 10). In the early to mid 90s I only played few RPGs and focused on other PC genres: point&click adventure (LucasArts/Westwood/Sierra), RTS (Dune II/C&C/AoE/WarCraft/Syndicate/Dungeon Keeper), TBS (Civ/Master of Orion/HoMM/Battle Isle), building/economic sims (SimCity/Settlers/Patrician), space/flight/racing sims (WC: Privateer/X-Wing/Comanche/Microprose's F1 Grand Prix). You know, all those great genres which were once mainstream on PC, but are called "niche" or "dead" today.

I think there's a chance that one of the acclaimed earlier Ultimas (V, VI, VII, VII/2) would be among my most favourites today, same goes for Wizardry VII and Baldur's Gate 2. I still plan to play these RPG classics some day but I'm not sure if I will like them as much as I probably would have if I'd played them at release or only shortly after.

I have a question. partially becaues

Anachronox is similar to typical "JRPG's" and I listed it.
Demon Soul's Would replace anachronox on my favorites if it is considered a WRPG. however it as a RPG made in Japan, but follows more western rpg principles imo.

So I know it is an ARPG, but so is kingdom hearts.

Is it a JRPG because it is made in Japan.

A WRPG because it fits more WRPG principles

Neither

Or something else.

I'll probably get different answers. And I've seen this answered before, though to no answer. I want to know if the community consensous has changed!

Thanks for not considering and action/adventure game a rpg.
