For better or worse, the word Skyrim is used on this site almost as much as the word "the". :D

Ladies and Gents, if Skyrim wins I will take desperate measures. Like complaining vigorously about it.

If the ensuing depression will leave me any impulse, that is.

:-/

Skyrim will likely place high on the list and it earned it. Not for the dumbed down base game Beth gave us, but for the hundreds of thousands of mods which allow to make the game YOU want.
Btw, if you haven't played the Skyrim TC Enderal yet, you should do so asap.

Thanks Lackblogger!

I enjoyed vanilla Skyrim. It will definitely make my list somewhere high up. I haven't finalised the list, but I'm thinking legend of grimrock 2, lords of xulima, dark souls, mass effect 2, Tyranny, Divinity original sin 1, maybe age of decadence.

On reflection I'm surprised by the low number of isometric games in my initial list. I'm only on chapter one of Pathfinder so can't include that; the pillars games I enjoyed but didn't love in the way I expected to.

Anyway, why had no-one mentioned Grimoire yet?

Fair enough. ;)

Still, I'd be more comfortable with Skyrim if the base game would have been better, rather than just reaping the glory of all those modders' hard work.

I mean, I'd totally support to list Skyrim as Toolset of the Decade (or something like that), along with Mount&Blade Warband, and others.

Just spent 3 months playing one game only, non stop. Kenshi.

THIS is the game of the decade, and by far.

I agree. Voting for Skyrim because you liked Enderal would be like voting for the unreal engine instead of the actual game you liked.

Obviously Skyrim will make the list somewhere, but count me as another that will be disappointed if it wins. But what do I know, I see people voting for Greedfall and The Outer Worlds. Don't get me wrong, I liked both games a lot, but game of the decade? Ahh, no.

When Witcher 3 wins all will be right with the world ;)

1) Fallout 4
2) Enderal
3) Skyrim
4) Fallout Vegas
5) Elex
6) Dishonored
7) Deus Ex -HR
8) Witcher 3
9) Lords Of Xulima

The first 5 on this list might make my top 10 RPGs of all time. Additionally, I have well over 200 hours in each of the top 5 games. The lower 4 will easily be beaten out by oldies Gothic 2/3, Might and Magic 6/7 and Morrowwind.

Ranked in order of best to worst:

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY > The Witcher 2
-> I like story-driven and great characters so an obvious choice
Alpha Protocol
-> refreshing
Mass Effect 2 > Mass Effect Andromeda > Mass Effect 3
-> great universe
Shadowrun: Dragonfall
-> I want more of this
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
-> and this. Nothing better than infiltrating and exploring various corporate buildings
Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition
-> because it is Belgium
Dragon’s Dogma
-> sorry, this is my dark souls-like entry :)
Dragon Age - Inquisition
-> not sure if this should be here.
Fallout: New Vegas
-> renewed my interest in gaming
Dragon Age: Origins: Awakenings (2010)
-> last because I can't remember much of it

--- arbitrarily cut (the following didn't make the list, but still in order) ---

Wasteland 2 Director's Cut
-> unremarkable (but fun)
Divinity - Original Sin Enhanced Edition
-> good, but can't remember much of it
Dishonored, Dishonored 2, Prey
-> not RPG enough
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
-> walking simulator :)
Pillars of Eternity
-> drags on too much (heard PoE 2 is way better)
Assassin's Creed: Origins
-> liked the setting, but that's all (and no RPG)

Any way we want?? Let's see, pi votes for Skyrim, the square root of negative pi votes for South Park: Stick of Truth, and the largest prime number votes for Witcher 3!

Nah - I was a good boy and just voted for Witcher 3.

Just spent 3 months playing one game only, non stop. Kenshi.
It's on my wishlist gorram it! Why did it have to release so close to the cut-off date? (Dec 2018) ;)
