TOP ONLINE RPG games

Posted by daviddon on June 1st, 2015

In my opinion, RPG games are some of the funniest games around to play. You usually get cool weapons and cool armor not to mention some really badass names you can give yourself. This shortlist below are what I believe are some of the best RPG PC games of all time.

Dungeons and Dragons has for years been one of the most popular pen and pad RPG's of all time. Some early attempts at a top RPG PC game were made, Baldur's Gate (I and II) were based off DnD version 2 and proved super successful. No one yet had taken the very new rules of version 3 and turned it into a great game. Bioware and Atari however brought to life a new style that mixed popular RPG format with the rules of Dungeon's and Dragons. Difficult skills and feats were scraped or simplified because while Baldur's Gate was turn based, Never winter Nights was real time. This made the overall game much more playable and fast paced which in turn made it more exciting. The game play is backed by a strong storyline which takes from the city of Never winter on a journey across the world. Two expansions were made. The first one began an entirely new story and moved the level cap from 10 to 20. The second expansion concluded the first taking your character deep into hell and the level cap all the way to 40. The amount of content in this game truly makes it one of top RPG PC games of all time. Never winter Nights 2 on the other hand was quite clunky and seemed a little rushed which was a shame as Bioware is usually known for it's quality. Diablo brought something to the RPG scene that no one had ever done before. An in depth, long story line with amazing graphics and super easy to play. The story line fitted well with the quests, there was always plenty of new gear and it was easy to customize your character at each level up. The game was simply just fun. Diablo II brought around a new engine with better graphics, there was also a fantastic multiplayer feature built in. You could either play on one of the ladder servers online or earn your way to the best equipment and highest levels or you could start up a LAN game with friends and battle against the evil forces together. Diablo III has been announced to be released as early as 2011.That's all for this part, stay tuned for Part 2 of the all time best PC RPG games. Kyle has been a huge RPG enthusiast since childhood. He runs a great site on the TOP ONLINE RPGgamesever made. Be sure to check out his top PC RPG games lists which feature the best RPG games from each decade. A role playing game (RPG) is a broad type of game in which a player takes control of a fictional character, or some form of in game representation such as an avatar. The play is governed by a set of rules designed to help interpret the actions of the players and their avatars in the game world. Traditionally RPG games have taken place on a table top with paper and pencils. In these types of game one player is assigned a role similar to both a storyteller and referee. This player is then usually referred to as game master, or GM for short.

In more modern times RPG's tend to be presented as BEST ONLINE GAMES played by using either a personal computer (PC) or games console. Here the "rules" are all interpreted by the computer that is acting as a server for the game world, rather than by one player acting impartially. This means that all players can take an active part in the telling of the story and have their own personal avatar be active in the game.
