  Finally one of these lists put Tyranny on. Absolute most RPG of all of them, just the sheer amount of consequences your choices have is staggering. In one playthrough, I led a rebellion against Kyros. In another I was a good servant of the Law and Justice and became his rival because his own laws and common sense marked me as a criminal, but was found innocent.<br>In the third, I wen&apos;t completely rogue, immediately grabbing for any artifact that could increase my power, and subjugated everything I didn&apos;t destroy.<br>The reputations with different factions matter so much, and interplay a LOT.

  Arcanum had me spellbound when I first found it decades ago.

  Nice to see Arcanum still getting attention over 20 years later. It really was a singular experience.

  Arcanum has some amazing music. I never finished a play through, but I regularly listen to the soundtrack when I’m working on the computer.

  omg Arcanum gfx were soooooo beautiful. Reminds me of a beautiful cult p&amp;c adventure, Sanitarium.

  Arcanum was one of my favorite games of all times. I play it every couple of years through with diffrent builds

  I bought Temple Of Elemental Evil and my PC was a brick so, lots of really fun abstract shapes is about as far as I got.

  I am currently on a massive Infinity Engine Game kick right now. Just finished BG1 on Steam, whilst doing a playthrough of BG2 on GOG (after completing a previous game of BG1 there) &amp; have just begun a game of Icewind Dale. I am also considering playthroughs of NWN 1 &amp; NWN 2.

  Shadowrun Returns had one of the best stories there is. Could have fitted perfectly into our campaign. The Universal Brotherhood!!! This was sooo cool. Love it

  Great list! But what about Baldur&apos;s Gate 1? Icewind Dale 2? Pathfinder: Kingmaker? These are absolutely great games too 👍🏻

  Arcanum is one of my favorite despite its issues. I like the magic vs tech thing.<br>They need to make a part 2 or a remake
