    Eve Online and The Sims are excellent additions. But they are not RPGs.

    I would personally include VTMB or Deus Ex, but from a broader perspective probably one of the Ultimas (6 or 7 are considered the best I believe) would be more appropriate.

    Don’t play jRPGs, but from my understanding FF7 is considered the “best in genre” release.

        With Deus Ex you definitely can play very different characters with a broad spectrum of personalities and narrative decisions. Although I do agree that an argument can be made it’s not an RPG.

        Eve is a sandbox MMO and The Sims is lifeim, don’t really see how they are RPGs.

        Very few RPGs execute the role playing component so well as VTMB IMO.
