By hours played, that's tough.

I probably spent an unhealthy amount of time in Morrowind when it came out, and I return to Baldur's Gate II every few years, sometimes I check to see what new mods the community has got to. Speaking of mods, Neverwinter Nights is a game that existed for me mostly though the modding community it has.

All the Modern era of Bioware are games I've played and replayed, but Mass Effect and Dragon Age both peaked for me in their second installments. The Witcher too.

And being who I am, both Knights of the Old Republic games were very important to me. I may have replayed them more than Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast would also qualify here.

There are few games that cause me to have a lost weekend, but didn't quite carry through after that. As I said in the other thread, despite playing Baldur's Gate II so often, it still probably doesn't reach the number of hours sunk into grand strategy games I've played. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is a game that deserves a remake, and a RPG set in its universe. A game called Terra Invicta gave me similar feelings as Alpha Centauri, it started out as a X-Com mod, and it's optimized like a bloated game mod too.

Then you have games that really confound the amount of time I've put into them. MMOs like The Old Republic, the Discworld MUD, Fallen London and its spin-offs.

Then there is a long list of adventure games that I don't know how to work in. Myst, Riven, The Long Journey; Wadjet Eye games like Gemini Rue and Primordia. And a slew of text only games that come out from such places as Choice Of games, like the Sabres of Infinity series, Choice of the Vampire, and Choice of Robots.
I don't know how many would feel about it but I consider Planescape: Torment close to a Point and Click adventure.

  • Baldur's Gate II: Shadow of Amn
  • Final Fantasy VII
  • Planescape: Torment
  • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II (less coherent story, more interesting subject)
  • Morrowind
  • Dragon Age II
  • Mass Effect II
  • Riven: the Sequel to Myst
  • Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
  • Neverwinter Nights

Lists like this almost never mean much, but that's what I've got this moment.
I'm not putting Baldur's Gate 3 into any contention until I actually know what I'm getting there. When Cyberpunk's DLC comes out I'm going to jump back in for the first time since launch.
