Top 16 Best PC RPGs of All Time

4.: Fallout: New Vegas

While the semi-predecessor of this game, Fallout 3, undoubtedly reinvigorated the venerated Fallout series, developer Bethesda were criticized for making a too bland, boring and sterile game world out of the Capital Wasteland of Washington D.C. With Fallout New Vegas, developer Obsidian took all that was great about Fallout 3 and infused that with the much whackier spirit of the original two and a half (Fallout Tactics) games. 

The result is one of the best open world RPGs of the past few years. New Vegas offers the player almost unprecedented freedom, an open ended story that essentially becomes the player’s story and a world riddled with interesting things and smaller, more personal stories to discover and play out in side missions. Despite its size, Fallout New Vegas still feels very close, very personal.
