Top 25 RPGs of All Time

Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn

Taking lessons they learned from the astounding Baldur’s Gate and applying them to the sequel worked out really well for BioWare, because Baldur’s Gate 2 is on just about every short list of the greatest RPGs ever made. Level design and dialogue options were streamlined and improved over the original, and the pausable real-time combat was made smoother. Many of the original game’s cast of companions return for the sequel, and the plot is an epic adventure with tons of rewarding side quests. There’s now an enhanced edition of the game that allows it to be played on modern hardware and high resolution monitors.
