5. Final Fantasy VII
4. Killzone II
3. Mass Effect II
2. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
1. Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

There are so many contenders though, Fallout 3, Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker, etc

[Psychosplodge]

in terms of hours sunk into them it'd have to be
1. civ 2
2. alpha centuari
3. rome total war
4. team fortress 2
5. and current game of the mooment PS2

[eldargal]

Oh crap, I forgot the Mass Effect games. I would switch ME3 for FFVII I think. Epic story driven game which I enjoyed so very much. Never played a fem Shep though. Maybe next time.

You should, Jennifer Hales voice acting is widely regarded as superior and I really think it is. I've tried making a ManShep and I give up after a couple of hours 'cos the voice just seems flat in comparison, no offense to the voice actor intended.

Hm, favourites...

Mass Effect 3 (or the whole series if we can include that)
Dragon Age Origins (ditto the series, yes I loved DA2...)
Europa Universalis III
Baldurs Gate II
Skyrim

Really hard to limit to five. World of Warcraft and Star Wars The Old Republic and KOTOR should be there as well.

[Wolfshade]

Top 5. Difficult, hmm

5. Skyrim
4. X-COM: UFO Defence (the old dos one) (Enemey from the Deep also)
3. Star Trek: Birth of the Federation (Damn you hasbro I want ST:BotF II!)
2. Heroes of Might and Magic III (Whole series, bar IV)
1. Fallout: NV (Whole series I would add)

Nearly rans, EU II, DAO, Civ, FFVII, Conquest of the New World

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'd pick The Elder Scrolls over Fallout any day. The last three have all been insanely good.
I can't wait for online. >.<

Mark Meer is a really cool guy...

[Psychosplodge]

Yeah if I was including nearlys fallout 3, Baldur's gate, Baldur's gate 2, Neverwinter nights 1+2, possibly skyrim would have all been there...

I prefer the fallout setting as theres a lot less apocalyptic wasteland roamers out there compared to fantasy games.

I've only played Skyrim, I think. Hmm, I may have played Oblivion...

I love the humour and the setting more in Fallout, never played brotherhood tactics

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

You've never played Oblivion if you prefer Fallout humour.

Also, Oblivion has, without a doubt, the best DLC ever made of all time: THE SHIVERING ISLES.
Featuring my favourite character, and everyone's favourite demented Prince; SHEOGORATH.

Quotes
Oblivion
I'm so happy I could just tear out your intestines and strangle you with them!
Jyggalag! He is the Prince of Order. Or biscuits...no, no, Order! And not in a good way. Bleak. Colorless. Dead. Boring, boring, BORING! And not a fan of my work, I can tell you. Hates it, hates me. You've seen his knights. Not the warm and cuddly sort.
Jyggalag's forces are gathering in the Fringe...And I HATE IT when people gather forces in my Fringe!
I once dug a pit and filled it with clouds....or was it clowns.... it doesn't matter, it didn't slow him down. But it really began to smell! Must have been clowns. Clouds don't smell, they taste of butter. And tears.
... and OUT comes the intestines! And I skip rope with them!
I'm a little busy here! I'm trying to decide what to have for dinner. Oh, how I love to eat. One of my favorite things to do. Go talk to Haskill, he's got more brains than a brain pie! Ooh...brain pie... perfect! ...Care to donate?
I hate indecision! ... or maybe I don't. Well, make up your mind. Or I'll have your skin made into a hat. Maybe one of those arrowcatchers. I love those hats!
Ta! Come visit again! Or I'll pluck out your eyes, ha ha ha!
[About Jyggalag] Malacath is more popular at parties! And Malacath is NOT popular at parties!
Wonderful! Time for a celebration... Cheese for everyone! Wait, scratch that. Cheese for no one. That can be just as much of a celebration, if you don't like cheese, true? You've run a maze like a good little rat. But no cheese for you yet. Well, maybe a little.
And Xedilian? Seeing as you're standing here, I assume you've succeeded. Or you're terribly confused. Or really lacking in good judgment.
The Isles. THE ISLES! They're a wonderful place to be, except when they are horrible. Then they are HORRIBLY WONDERFUL! Good for a visit! Or for an eternity.
YOU dare interrupt ME? Only I interrupt me! Like just then.
You're making my teeth itch!
It'll move mountains! It'll mount movements!
Daedra are the embodiment of change, change and permanency. I'm no different. Except in the ways that I am.
Woops! I guess the cat's out of the bag on that one! Who puts cats in bags anyhow? Cats HATE bags.
You really shouldn't have done that. Enjoy the view. - If the player attacks him.
Now get out of here before I change my mind....or my mind changes me.
Wondering why I let him/her go, don't you? I can see it in your face... mostly in your eyes. I may take those from you when all of this is over.

Skyrim
More tea, Pelly my dear?
You are far too hard on yourself, my dear, sweet, homicidally insane Pelagius. What would the people do without you? Dance? Sing? Smile? Grow old?
You are the best Septim that's ever ruled. Well, except for that Martin fellow, but he turned into a dragon god, and that's hardly sporting...
You know, I was there for that whole sordid affair. Marvelous times! Butterflies, blood, a Fox and severed head... Oh, and the cheese! To die for.*
H'afrumph! Well then, if you're going to be like that... Perhaps it's best I take my leave. A good day to you sir. I said good day!
Was it Molag? No, no... Little Tim, the toymaker's son? The ghost of King Lysandus? Or was it... Yes! Stanley, that talking grapefruit from Passwall.
Jolly good guess. But only half right. I'm a mad god. The Mad God, actually. It's a family title. Gets passed down from me to myself every few thousand years.
"WRONG!! Actually, you do. Sort of."
"I am a part of you, little mortal. I am a shadow of your subconscious, a blemish on your fragile little psyche. You know me. You just don't know it."
Now you. You can call me Ann Marie. But only if you're partial to being flayed alive and having an angry immortal skip rope with your entrails. If not... Then call me Sheogorath, Daedric Prince of Madness. Charmed.
Now that's the real question, isn't it? Because honestly, how much time off could a demented Daedra really need?
Well, I suppose it's back to the Shivering Isles. The trouble Haskill can get into while I'm gone simply boggles the mind...
And as for you, my little mortal minion... Feel free to keep the Wabbajack. As a symbol of my... Oh, just take the damn thing.
You take care of yourself, now. And if you ever find yourself in New Sheoth, do look me up. We can share a strawberry torte. Ta ta!
"Ooh, ooh, what kind of message? A song? A summons? Wait, I know! A death threat written on the back of an Argonian concubine? Those are my favorite.
You know, you remind me of myself at a young age. All I cared about was riding narwhales (sic) and sleeping in honeycombs and drinking babies' tears...
Do you mind? I'm busy doing the fishstick. It's a very delicate state of mind!
Mortal, insufferable.
Time to go I guess, let me check everything. Clothes? Check. Beard? Check! Luggage? Now where did I leave my luggage?

I have decided to dress up as him at some point.

[Deadlift]

I love Skyrim, it's an epic game. But Fallout NV has the edge. I just prefer the setting and I think the choices you make in game have much more impact on how the game pans out. Skyrim I've completed 2-3 times and despite ability changes it's essentially the same outcome, New Vegas with your in game choices offers far more replay ability for me personally.
