This is just a quick reference list of what I consider to be my top recommendations for the RPG genre.
It's based solely on what I've played over the years and what has left a meaningful impact on my opinion. The list may not contain a lot of known titles because I probably haven't played them (yet). Also, I'm mostly a retro PC gamer so a lot of console titles are missing.
My goal is to do a top 100 list (as thisis GiantBomb's limit), but I don't want to fill the list with sub-par games just for the sake of it. Also I won't list all of the games from one franchise. If gameplay is similar than the best title goes on the list.
That being said, this list will be updated in the future. Last update: 2022-11-06.

Use the community patches. It will make a huge difference.
On par with Dawn of Sorrow, but as it was the first to introduce the concept, it left a bigger impact.
Use the community patches. It will make a huge difference. Mods will change the overall enjoyment and rating.
The whole Diamond Edition. The original campaign is probably the best story, but all modules are worth playing. Additional modules may be hit or miss (like Infinite Dungeons). Don't have enough time to play the second game.
My pick from the series. Enjoyment may differ with class and skill choice.
Use the community patches. It will make a huge difference. Probably the best D&D non-tabletop experience on PC.
I don't believe this to be the best Castlevania game. but it surely is a great game.
Standalone. Hellfire may offer a bit of enhancement but it's not all that great.
Fallout III for the story, New Vegas for the atmosphere.
