A far as series is concerned, I love the Genso Suikoden series. I like Final Fantasy, but there are only a few games in that series that I like 6,7,tactics, so I can't count that as one of my favorite 'series'

I've always had a thing for Earthbound/Mother 2, an older RPG for the SNES. It's my favorite game. It's just so quirky and great and seems like a game I would make, it's what inspired me to try and become a game designer.

What kind of games is the Elder Scrolls? That seems to be coming up a lot. Also Knights of the Old Republic keeps springing up. What is that like?

The Elder Scrolls is a CRPG fantasy series, set in a world in which there is an empire dominated by humans, with several other minor races running about. The only one of them I've played, ESIII: Morrowind, takes place on a large island which is still partially held by the native elves - who don't like the Empire at all.

Knights of the Old Republic is a CRPG set in the Star Wars universe, about four thousand years before the movies. In the first one, you play a Force-sensitive member of the Old Republic fleet (you define your gender and exact role in the fleet), who is one of three survivors of the Endar's Spire, shot down over Tanis. After rescuing the Jedi Bastila Shan, you wind up becoming a Jedi, and fighting either to free the galaxy from the influence of the resurgent Sith Empire, or to betray it to the Empire - your choice.

Its sequel, The Sith Lords, takes place five years later. You play a former Jedi, exiled and cut off from the Force for following the lead of rebel Jedi Revan ten years ago (Revan advocated immediately jumping in to defend the Republic from a Mandalorian incursion, and when the Council ordered them to wait, went anyway). You wake up on a distant fuel station, one of two survivors of the destruction of your ship (three if you count the droid T3-M3), and one of three survivors on the entire station (the rest seem to have been slaughtered by the mining droids). After escaping the station, and a Sith Lord, you wind up journeying through the galaxy to track down the few remaining Jedi - to either get their assistance or kill them, your choice... :-)

Final Fantasy series (except XI). Lord of the Rings The Third Age was also pretty good.

I've never even heard of it.

Only P&P/board game RPGs I've played are AD&D, Shadowrun, Call of Cthulhu, Star Wars, Hero Quest, and whatever the P&P version of Warhammer is called (Fantasy something or other).

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the sequel to Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (itself a sequel to Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, and so forth...). Haven't played it myself, so I won't comment on it. :)

I need to get back into Oblivion. I got turned into a vampire and got bored trying to find all the ingredients for the cure so I haven't played it again.

My disk of Oblivion is broken, I am planning on getting the game of the year eddition but it is still fairly expensive. I like useing magic my favirout spell is invisibility and my favirout class of magic is illusion, aswell as often having some odd summoning like a skelliton just to set of traps is actualy pretty helpfull.
