If Dark Age of Camelot can be included into any category it'll always win for me. Just saying its name puts a smile on my face.

Best pvp ever made.

Oh, and I forgot about Ultima IX! Yeah, I know, not the best Ultima, but it was my first RPG and I loved exploring Britannia. It was a fascinating world for my 13-years-old-self.

In no real order:

Dragon Age: Origins:

I loved the characters, the world and the stories within it. I thought the enviroments were very well done and the way that you encountered more Darkspawn along the roads as the story progressed only added to the feeling that the land was truly on the brink of chaos. It's one of the few RPG worlds that I actually wanted to save it because of the characters.

Dark Souls:

Another game where I loved the characters. Dark Souls gives you Solaire of Astora who helps you in the main quest several times fighting against some tough bosses and I liked how the characters evolved in personality as the game progressed. Petrus for example presents himself as a righteous priest and it turns out that he's evil and corrupted. I killed him as soon as I learned of his sinister motives. Dark Souls was yet another RPG where I cared about what happened to the characters and actually tried to save the ones I liked.

Divine Divinity:

Divine Divinity was amazing. The world felt alive and you could literally interact with almost anything. Even in my evil playthrough run I still made friends who I cared about and who I kept alive. I cared about most of the characters in the main plot and even cared about the world. Divine Divinity also made each and every area feel unique and different. The elven land felt different from the human's land for example and the dwarven kingdom felt unique too. It's a world I wanted to save and it's world I still hope I can save in Divinity 3 whenever it is released.

Baldur's Gate series:

For the same reasons as Divine Divinity. The world was amazing and there was always lots to encounter in each region.  I cared about my companions and forged a team composed of good characters and I actually wanted to save the world. The role playing options were immense too.

Morrowind.

[Elhanan]

NWN1 - m/p campaigns
DAO
Skyrim

About in that order, too.

BG2. First time I played it I spent at least a week doing nothing but sleeping, eating, and playing. Hell of a week.

Probably Fallout NV after that, but it's hard to really get lost in it when most of the time I'm worried if something in the background is broken.

[stonbw1]

I suppose you never forget your first: KOTOR.

[LPPrince]

From ones I've played? Most immersive?

Skyrim and DAO.

Immersion is weird, because it's not that well defined and is a easily spun into a buzzword, but Morrowind, Arcanum and Planescape: Torment are the most engrossing games I've played from a setting, gameworld or narrative perspective. Funnily enough, their greatest strengths are in that order.

The level of immersion a game gives a player is of no specific set value.

Its down to the player themselves, not so much the game.

For example, I was so heavily immersed in Skyrim because in the past my father and I have hiked up mountains and through forests off trails.

We got hurt, we got lost, it took forever, but it was fun as hell. The views were worth it. The creeks to cross over, the trees to go between, the vast views overseen. Amazing.

Skyrim brought me back to all of that.

Because as I always like to say,

Skyrim exists. Its called Upstate New York.

In Morrowind, you catch yourself playing hours and hours in one sitting for the most inane s***.

Baldur's Gate 2. Hands down. KotOR comes in a close second.

[Maria Caliban]

Immersive?

I think people mean two different things by immersive. One is that the story is immersive; they find themselves engaged in the various quests and characters. The second is that the setting is immersive; they lose themselves in the game world itself.

I typically mean the second one when I say something is immersive. I'd say Morrowind and STALKER are both great examples of that.

Completely disagree.

Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas have been the games I've played in the past that felt the most immersive, in the overall sense that I was the most "immersed" in the game, talking about the complete package in terms of story, setting, gameplay, quests, etc.

Although in hindsight, the world of Skyrim seems more immersive, Fallout 3 was the first game I played since the 8-bit era, and I'm a huge fan of post apocalyptic settings, so it was incredibly mind blowing at the time.

You disagree because you're referring to your second definition- I was mainly leaning towards the first, though my example would lend credence to your point as to the second.

In which case, I do agree with you that a game's make holds merit towards its immersion- but only to a certain point.

[MingWolf]

I don't generally consider story and setting to be mutually exclusive in immersion. My personal list:

-Neverwinter Nights 1 (depending on the campaign)
-Baldur's Gate series
-Dragon Age: Origins
-Morrowind
-Final Fantasy III/VI
-Planescape Torment

[Sarquindi]

As for story, characters, setting, environment, music, and freedom... I'll say Skyrim.

Before Cataclysm came out, I used to spend hours upon hours in Wow. I had been playing for five years; nearly four to five hours a day. That's the game I have invested the most time into. I rarely play anymore, but I still don't have the heart to get rid of my Sarquindi.

You're both probably loyal to the camarilla. Cammy scum! Brujah is the only way to go, just like Smilin Jack.

The best ending by far is the one where you aren't loyal to anyone. Made me laugh anyway.

Most of all I love three games. No, game series.
1) Mass Effect (All three games)
2) The Elder Scrolls (Morrowind, Oblivion and global mod Nehrim, and of course SKYRIM)
3) Divinity (mostly Divinity 2)
But I also love Baldur's Gate series, KotOR1, Neverwinter Nights 2 and Dragon Age series.
These are the best for me

Even though I stopped playing WoW before Icecrown Citadel was launched, my little priest Jedihealer is still sitting in the Stormwind Cathedral.

I had some great great times in WoW, by myself and with friends.
I'm amazed I forgot to include it in my list, considering that during that time I had already read every book on its lore. I was a major story nut in WoW, and even though playing SWTOR is fun, it's just not the same.

[Costin_Razvan]

Fallout 3, Witcher, Witcher 2.

[RPGmom28]

The whole Baldur's Gate series. Something about the music and the characters just swallowed you whole.
