Planescape: Torment is the best RPG ever! Even Baldurs Gate 2 is not so good as this masterpiece. Sure it depends how you describe a "good" RPG. Planescape is a game like a book. You read and read and read. There are not many battles in the game, so if a good RPG must be with many battles for you, than Planescape isn't the best. But its the story of Planescape that is so fantastic. The setting is a different one like in other RPGs. Here you are no hero saving the world. You are only a man who doesn't know who he is and doesn't know why he can't die. All in the game is so badass. I cried as I played it the first time. AD&D at its best. Really this game must be the number one. You learn so much about the multiverse of D&D here. I could explain so many details of the game but I'm not in the mood to do so. Buy this game and play it! Feel it! This game could change your real life! Trust me!
What can change the nature of a man? That question has always stuck with me after playing this game. Can't believe rubbish like final fantasy 7 has more votes than this masterpiece {and yes I have played both}. This game is truly a unique and never tried again approach to RPGs, a truly life changing experience, I really cannot recommend this enough do yourself a favour and get it now.
Maybe my favourite RPG. The idea of it is just mad : taking away all the traditional RPG characteristics. No sword, no armor, impossibility to die. So what's left? A huge universe, a vast philosophical and poetical meditation about death, about memories, about the essence of man. This is the kind of game that broadens your world.

Easily the best d&d game ever. In fact easily the best game I have ever played. The story line is one which is so brilliant and fascinating that I had major trouble turning it off. The best charicters and twists in any game iv played. This game really should be number 1 but unfortunatley most rpg players will probably never play it as it is an old game now. Like rpgs on pc? Do your self a favour and find this one!
Best game ever produced. Take the planescape writers, and the fallout producer and you get the idea. This epic game is the only pieace ever produced that can touch the planescape setting.
You will never see anything like this. It breaks RPG stereotypes in crazy universe! Philosophical succubus, guy who lost his head... You can't describe this tou must play!
Superb world (or worlds) in greatly atmospheric background, memorable characters and one of the few RPG games you can actually finish using your brains rather than brawn!
How the hell is this AMAZING game only Number 47?! Games that aren't even RPGs are ahead of this! Words cannot express how disappointed I'm feeling.
Such a strong storytelling. Rich and complicated characters, nice music and scenery. Trully, a masterpiece, the only hame it's own kind.
Should be #1. Is no other game that has such a story behind it. This could and should have been a whole series of games.
Class. Full stop. This is role playing - which many of the games on this list simply are not.
