From that list, I've only played the BG, IWD, and NWN series. So I had to vote Baldur's Gate. 
I have played several MMOs, but I'd still vote BG higher than any MMO that I've played. BG had real flair, something truly special.

No. Fallout 3 was a Bethesda game but New Vegas was Obsidian. |

| I can't believe Jade Empire has no votes (then again, I didn't vote for it). Has anyone besides me played it? |

Looks like Bethesda works with a bunch of sister companies to produce some games |

| Baldur“s Gate and Icewind dale 1 and 2 are classics.They have inspired a lot of other games. The fact that they are going to release and enhanced version of Baldur“s Gate proves the game“s influence. To me, Icewind 2 have the greatest soundtrack of all games! |

| I agree Gavinho. I played Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 quite a bit. But I loved the two Icewind Dale games. Reinforcing the barricades, repairing the walls, and slaying the orcs and goblins breaking through was just so awesome. |

| That was a HIGHLY difficult vote, but I had to go with my original love: Baldur's Gate. So much history and nostalgia surround that game. |

Not to mention Elminster graced his presence in the first Baldur's Gate game, and that was wonderful for me!  |

Baldur's Gate 2 with expansion has my vote.
The Fallout titles are great for their humor.
Jade Empire is alright, it is not what you usually expect from a fantasy RPG but it is alright.
Planescape:Torment is a gem and should be played atleast once.
NWN 1 and 2 are ok, though the plot of 2“s main game was predictable for me.
Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 are decent though KOTOR2 on the Dark Side is great fun.
Icewind Dale 1 and 2 are hack&slay, inferior to the BG series but 2 i do consider better than 1.
Mass Effect 1 and 2 are good games, 2 even better than 1, just don“t mix them with 3, it is less good.
Dragon Age Origins is a great game, very true to sword and sorcery heritage, 2 was less overwhelming and forshadowed somehow the demise of Mass Effect 3.
Yes, Baldur's Gate gets the prize as BG2 with Throne of Bhaal deliver great atmosphere within the world of the Forgotten Realms. |
The driving force in the multiverse is evil, for it forces good to act. |
