Hey Guys,

So recently I seem to have dried up my well of epic story based RPG games, so right now
I'm looking for any RPG games on the computer with epic stories :D.
Examples of games I am willing to play range between any new to any old game, provided it is an RPG of some sort.

Some examples of some Games I really liked.
Dragon Age Origins
Mass Effect series
Baldur's Gates
Arcanum
Fallout series (All of them 1-New Vegas)
Planescape Torment

So yeah, I'm open to any suggestions, and with that
What is a RPG type game that you thought had the best Story?
 
Planescape torment has to be one of my fav rpg story.

The witcher games have an awesome story and is a great rpg series if you haven't played them yet I would say do so.
 
If you don't mind the graphics then Spiderweb Software apparently makes the RPGs with the best and most in depth stories:

The games are available on Steam too.

If you don't mind scifi RPGs then I don't see the Mass Effect trilogy in your list! It's absolutely amazing.

soli he has it in his list :p the mass effect games bwawa :p sies on you.
 
Thanks for the replies so far guys,
I've finished Witcher 1 though the first one irked me a little with it's bugs and spiky lag streaks, so that has been delaying my play-through on Witcher 2 (I've started but barely sunk into it properly), though I think I just might do that after some of these comments.

Mass Effect is amazing!

I've also briefly looked into some of the Spiderweb games before, though I had thought that very people actually played it, but seeing this comment has given me confidence that it may actually be worth looking into :D, so I have noted them down and I will likely make an effort to purchase these if I see them for on a steam sale or something similar :D.

If there are any more RPG-like games with a Great-to-Epic Story, Please continue letting me know and I will absolutely check it out :D!

Any ff fan would boast 7 despite its blocky graphics, when you say aeries anybody who is a fan would either shed a tear or be mad they got so close to getting with her.

tbh i loved 7's story but my favourite story is still 8 how i thoroughly loved that game
 
A few more to add:


Gothic series (Gothic 1 & 2 specifically, it went downhill from Gothic 3 and the later version now called Arcania)


Deus Ex (The original). Even though it is slated as a FPS, i played it like an RPG, probably the first RPG-FPS hybrid. The story however was quite revolutionary and the thing what essentially made this game . The latest Deus Ex is not bad either (the other sucks though).

I also enjoyed Vampire:The Masquerade Bloodlines , the story and world .

Icewind Dale series?

Elder Scrolls series? (Morrowind was the best for me, the story seemed to have become less interesting in Oblivion and Skyrim)

Oooo yes Vampire:The Masquerade Bloodlines is also absolutely amazing! Especially if you play it with the user made unofficial patch. It's most definitely worth the play.
 
I came here to this thread after a friend send me this link yesterday, we both like Bloodlines as well. Its a link to that user made patch, plus some extras like better textures. I am itching to play it again!
