How good was/is this game!

I played this game when it first came out and loved it. But then i forgot about it and have been playing other games..including oblivion. The other day i was bored so figured i would try it again just for a laugh and not expecting to seriously play. WOW this game is good, and so much more fun than oblivion. I got bored half way through oblivion thanks to its lack of interaction and boring and repetitive gameplay. This is just awesome, the characters and their interactions are top notch. Best of all is how there are almost a limitless number of ways to play it. Unlike other games there are some real decisions to be made, and the cobat just never gets tiring as there are so many possibilities.

The gameplay in this game puts other games with fancy 3D graphics to shame. Needless to say im hooked again, i just wish they still made games like this.

I agree. This is still my favorite RPG, and I still play it, and still find something new or entertaining with it everytime.

Not to mention all the mods you can apply to give the game even more replay value.

So good it still sets the standard 10 years later with every other RPG still failing to surpass it.

Well, theres a reason this is still my favorite game ever.

Second place is shared between Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Neverwinter Nights 2 and Dragon Age.

Morrowind and Oblivion are okay-ish, but only if I use mods and the console. Mods for more fun and better graphics, and console to avoid the awful levelup process of the original game.
