Which Game is Best?
I voted for Skyrim as I am blown away by the Dawnguard DLC, and I am currently playing Skyrim. I probably should have voted for one of the Dragon Age games,given that Neverwinter Nights (and Pause & Play) got me back into gaming in about 2006. I had stopped gaming before 2000.
My first game was Betrayal in Krondor, and that game initially got me hooked on computer gaming in the early 1990's (BC)**

Which game is best out of what? I accidentally started this topic before I wrote this poll.

The one that has HK-47 in it.
Since Kotor has him and isn't an mmo, it's the best.

I picked DAI because there is so much to do and it's nice, pretty, and long but really DA2 is my very favorite...makes me laugh and I like hanging out with the gang, who seem to enjoy being with each other. I was so shocked at the ugly locations in DA2, at first, but now their ugly, squareness is just another quirky thing about the game.

what, no option for all of the above? though I'll be voting for Neverwinter Nights 2, it's the first RPG I've ever played and still owns a special place in my heart Gannayev of Dreams (aka. Gann) was one of my first romance options come to think of it, I should really replay it again, provided I can get it to work on Windows 10 but out of the others listed I also have to go with the entire Dragon Age series (obviously), and Skyrim Dragon Age 'cause...it has dragons...and it's one of my all time favorite gaming worlds Skyrim...also because...dragons, and it has some amazing story lines I kinda wish the guilds had been done a bit better though, I mean...you don't have to actually do a lot to become the leader, doesn't help that they basically force you to join 2 out of 4 (not counting the Dawnguard/Vampires) of them to advance the main quest

Some of these games I have not played and I strongly prefer DA to ME, so I was just selecting between DA options.
My favourite game is DAO. I was blown away by how much attention and thought was put into every single detail. Even when we have small side quests, there was humour and care mixed into them.
For example, there is a quest where you need to deliver news to three women about their husband's deaths. My initial reaction was 'bah what a stupid travel here and there quest' until I clicked the choice, 'Would anyone like to handle this for me?' At this point Oghren burped and said, 'Congratulations! You're single!' Then I laughed and each time I had to redo this quest, I shuffled my heroes formation to get a different one to say something when delivering the memo.
Of the three games, I find DAO to have the best humour.
Also, I have immense appreciation by how wholesome the entire game is and how the plot is structured. There is the central idea of stabz AD, but each map has a large and relevant story aspect linked into it. When I arrived on a new map, I always had a clear idea why my hero came here, followed by a sense of urgency throughout the entire game. You know that the Blight is spreading while you're gathering allies and you are racing against time.
Everything about DAO was extremely clear to me without the help of google. Also, when I came to major decisions, it was clear that it is one that will affect the world.
Due to the number of origins for the Warden and classes and multiple ways you can go about each major point, this one also has a lot of replay value. I've played a few games and each world template has something different about it. I really like that. I still have a couple of Warden origins to go. I'm excited about that.

In hindsight, I wish I did not include DA2 and DAO in this poll. Perhaps some of the DA2 and DAO voters would have voted for one of the other games, and possibly have made this a more interesting poll ...

From the selection available, I have to say DA2, but I haven't played the vast majority of these titles, and the DA games don't come close to being in my favourite games of all time (which are mostly JRPGs).

I have played a lot of the games in that list and loved most if them. BG brought me into gaming and will always have a special place in my heart. ME is not really my cup of tea, too shootery and only a handful companions, I like ( on the plus side: Garrus). I haven't played the Witcher yet, but I do think, that if game Geralt is anything like book Geralt, I will like the games. And lets not get started about KOTOR and SWTOR, they are great. But DA us my favorite game fandom and among those, I did choose DA 2, simply because Hawke is the most fun protagonist to play

Ok ... make that a 2nd regret ... not including all of the RPG games that I have played in the poll ... My first regret was including DA2 and DAO in the poll as noted in a previous post. I have played Icewind Dale, Pillars of Eternity, and Final Fantasy X, but did not include them in the poll as the list was already too long ... ... pessimistpanda - Would you have voted for FFX instead if it was included in the poll?

The Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, and Icewind Dale are good, I just haven't played them in a while. Years of being a modder has burned me out on them. Kotor is great, well back in the day it was great, the graphics and controls didn't age well. That game could use a reboot on a modern game engine. Skyrim is the best of the Elder Scrolls games, but gets boring after a while. The Fallout games weren't mentioned. DAI is my current cup of tea. I've been experimenting with mods and various character sliders.

I think my youngest son has one of the Fallout games ... but on console Is it easy to play for an old klutz who has almost zero manual dexterity? Anyway, I still have a backlog of Steam games after I finish Skyrim: - FF 10 (unfinished)
- Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gage II and Baldur's Gate I (plus Siege of Dragonspear DLC)
- Divinity Original Sin
... that should cover me a year or so ...
