i have played many RPG's in my time and hands down i would have to say Dark Age of Camelot was the best one i ever played, now im curious to see what everyone else thinks the best RPG ever made was
What Is The Best Rpg You Have Ever Played, RPG=role playing
Baldurs Gate 1 with some friends as a network party. It's just so fun to play with some good friends together.
EDIT: I forgot to mention Final Fantasy Tactics (if you can count this as RPG). That's the best!!!!

Has anybody played Star Wars: Knights of the old republic (I andII)?
It's a great game, and the story is fantastic.
Neverwinter Nights is a great D&D FOrgotten realms game (I can't wait for NWN 2!!!)
The Icewind Dale series is great, and the baldur's gate series is not far back.
The best MMORPG (massive multiplayer online rpg) as far as I am concerned is Star Wars Galaxies, but World of Warcraft is not bad too

Hum...
well, i suppose that Zelda is counted as an RPG?
Else Phantasy Star (the whole series) is very good.

The Best one I ever played is CrossGate. It's cool how you have jobs and can catch creative and use them to battle. But now, the free server is too crowed with people so I don't play anymore

the underrated Gothic series...
the best storyline RPG ever... Planescape : Torment
the critically acclaimed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
and last but not the least.. the revolutionary Fallout series...

I hate PC RPGs so I count - all Final Fantasies (I - X-2) I'm not counting XI, I never played and otherwise - it's pure MMORPG. Also I played Chrono Trigger, Cross and many Zeldas (they are like semi-action-rpg). Well and many other - Alundra 2 and some more.
Wordl of Warcraft
Neverwinter Nights
Sacred
Diablo II

I would concider Zelda III an RPG.... It's not all in the experience/stats. Sure it's a rather narrow RPG, as such, but... That's my opinion.
WoW is rather nice, although I haven't taken enough time to play it much lately... Final Fantasy 3/6 is the best to the SNES. And hmm, I've played a few fan-translated FF games (4 and 5) and they were alright.
Neverwinter Nights is pretty cool too, but I never really got into it. Pretty cool in multiplayer.

Yeah, I agree something like 80% with you...
The best one with no doubts for me is Chrono Trigger, the best game playing, the best story, the best characters
Mario RPG also rocks, I bet 90% of the players like to use the toadstool princess because of her "phoenix" ability
Final Fantasy... oh yeah... final fantasy... I love the FF3 for the snes, the one with terra, locke, celes, cyan, sabin, edgar, banon, sasquash, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,... so many characters...
good old times...
For me its Diablo 2 , never was so addicted with a game and played it that long. Haven't found a game that was so good...
EarthBound, for the SNES.
Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8 and Diablo series.
Xenogears is by far my favorite rpg and favorite game.
Chrono Trigger.
Final Fantasy.
Gah! None of you would know a true RPG if it bit you. Real RPGs are played with paper and pencil at a table with friends.
My favorite are
Shadowrun
Mechwarrior
AD&D 3rd ed.
Twilight 2k

The best RPG I ever played was Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts, I know Final Fantasy XII will be way better with all the war machines cgi, th esky pirates while Kingdom Hearts II will be as good.
Hmm... i have a couple :
X-box = Fable
Ps2 = Baldurs gate 1 / final fantasy x
Pc = World of warcraft
My all time fave is fable

Supermario RPG all the way! (I hate final fantasy)

Final Fantasy, escpecially ever since it left Nintendo, is the epiphany of overrated mediocore RPGs.
I loved FFVI, but I might be inclined to say FFVII. Maybe because it was the first with such an expansive story. I wasn't a bit fan of the 3D back then, but the summoms were impressive. But it was certainly the longest most enjoyabke -experience- of the day. And I do mean experience. A lot of us got really involved in the universe with that one.
If you count action rpg, I might also say Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past. Absolute classic in every way.

Seiken dentetsu III is very good (is it spelled like that?)
Final Fantasy 3/6 is also a favorite
and Final Fantasy VII (<3 Cloud) X3333

I must agree that Seiken Densetsu 3 is a-ma-zing.
Actually, I'm into that few-bit games.
Even played the MMORPG Dark Ages (Nexon/Kru Inc.) for yeeaaaars on end because of the highly developed political and religious system.
The games that got me caught up the most, however, were
Baldur's gate II, and perhaps Everquest.

You mean traditional RPGs. Everything people have listed are still "real" RPGs, they're just different kinds that were derived from pen & paper RPGs. I dont know why you're trying to take away the genre.
There's no AD&D 3rd edition... As far as I know:P They went back to D&D name. Personally I think AD&D 2nd edition is much better than 3rd.
As for computer RPG's - Baldurs Gate 2 and Eye of the beholder.
On consoles best was .hack series(even though it was just action RPG).

World of Warcraft.
The best free one for PC would be Kalonline I would say

I prefered Secret of Mana to SD3. While I liked SD3 versatility and classes, I found SOM's control tighter and its story much more developed. SD3 lost this to the fact that each character had few specific scenes. To me, there was too much backtracking and repetition. That said, loved both games, including FFA. SOM steals my heart though, I had almost forgotten.
Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger are two of my favorite games. I also enjoyed chrono cross, but not nearly as much as CT. No game was as big and real as CT back then.

Final Fantasy VII by far: I know the graphics sucked, but I loved the story, and the music was awesome. Best FF game out there, after 7 they just started going downhill, now the storys dont make any sense at all =S

Who said that graphics make the hole game?
Remember Pong, youngster ;P?
It would be Xenosaga if the cut schenes weren't so long 
. So I'd say Chrono Trigger.

Forgive me for being old-school and maybe behind the time....but I still prefer the original AD&D. But I would be more than willing to try something new if anyone here can steer me in the right direction.

I agree with you. I have no time for anything else and its the bomb diggitty.
I got to give a knod here to Morrowind, Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy Tactics and Knights of the Old Republic.
Specifically KotoR has quite possibly the best most engaging and entertaining story I have ever played through. It is the only RPG in recent memory I actually restarted right after I finished just to go through and see the story from a different side!!

Must be The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
but when it is online RPG I'd say Project Entropia

Planescape: Torment is possibly the best RPG ever made. It uses graphics that were stylish enough to not go out of date, and its mechanics and storyline still hold together and aren't cliche after, what?, ten years.
After that I move to the original Fallout.
If you are looking for a less storyline focused, more character building RPG, give Wizardy 8 a try.

Tales of Symphonia is my favorite so far.
Super Mario RPG is alright, as it's pretty unique, but I have been really pleased with Legend of the Dragoon and Final Fantasty 1-3 as well. Say, did anyone here ever play Realms of Despair at game.org?

I really appreciate the old books of AD&D, GURPS, ShadowRun and mutch more...
But whem I´m far from my friends, I prefer Neverwinter Ninghts and Lineage...
And, for non "real" RPG, the best of the games is play On-Line...

Final Fantasy 7 - Epic, possibly the best rpg playstation has had.
Chrono Trigger- Amazing SNES rpg, way ahead of it's time.

I love Ultima 9 the best.
If you liked Ultima 7, you will love Ultima 9. [If you hated Ultima 7 because you killed certain NPCs by accident or were pissed at merchants who didn’t want to sell you a sword at midnight, you will especially love Ultima 9.] If you did not, you’ll possibly still love it - because Ultima 9 Ascension combines Ultima 7’s complexity, which so many adored, with top-notch 3D technology. I urge everyone else who appreciates a demanding fantasy world with a touch ["touch" is the right word] of serious nature and has at least a bit of an understanding of roleplaying games, to play this impressive epos.

Definitely Warcraft. It's the best RPG game ever. I think World of Warcraft is the best MMO game out there.
Best RPG? Hard call, The Zelda games were awesome, as was Knights of the Old Republic and also Fable... Can i say their tied? 
I really cant make up my mind, Each of the games has its own good parts... Final Fantasy 7 also fits in there, damn... Too many good RPG's exist for me to make up my mind... There is 1 thing I have decided on though, My favorite MMORPG is World of Warcraft, That much I can decide on, but favorite RPG? Sorry, I cant decide 
Too many to choose from, I will rank Zelda OOT, Knights of the Old Republic, FAble, and FF7 as #1
