Looking for names of as many role playing games for the PC as I can find.
Have been playing console games since the late 80's and have only moved on to play games on the PC in '03 when I was finally able to afford a good gaming system. So I have no clue about any RPG's released prior to 2003, and a semi okay grasp thereafter.
Any help will be appreciated :D

from: http://www.gamedaily.com/Specials/Top-10-PC-RPGs/

10. Arcanum
9. Ultima Series
8. Icewind Dale Series
7. Neverwinter Nights
6. Planescape: Torment
5. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Series
4. Diablo Series
3. Fallout Series
2. Elder Scrolls
1. Baldur’s Gate Series

prolly a good place to start.

i'm just pasting their list. click the link for details of why they think the games qualify for their top 10. some of these games had console conversions, but those were often quite different from the PC versions so it might pay to even check out some of the ones you've already played on consoles. for instance i've heard that the PC and console versions of baldur's gate are very different from each other, as far as the features & focus of the gameplay.

How old are you wanting to go? I primarily play RPGs, so have a pretty long list.
