I've already posted a couple in this thread. Planescape: Torment stands out in particular as head and shoulders above most other RPGs, story-wise, as does the (core) Baldur's Gate series.

It's probably because most Western RPGs are PC only, and the site tends to attract more console retro gaming.

That's true, but it's still a crime.

my personal favourite has always been final fantasy 4. Strange that this was the first rpg I ever played.

super mario rpg
simple, with digestible twists
final fantasy tactics
im pretty through 'rough' translation work (ps one) there was a decent story
shenmue
(not really an rpg) had all the charm of an 80's typical revenge based action movie while cutting down on the corniness and a dash of fantasy
lunar silver star story
although the story is far from being unique... but i personally think its the best among classic, routine rpg stories

The best storyline I've come across in a game would be the ones in Silent Hill 1 & 2. As far as RPGs, I like Phantasy Star II & IV, Final Fantasy 6, 7 and 10, Breath of Fire II, Dragon Warrior 7, Suikoden 1, 2, and 3... but none of them are as good as those first two Silent Hill games.

Go for the eyes, Boo. GO FOR THE EYES!
I see no love for Fallout, Arcanum, The Elder Scrolls, Nox, or any others, eh? I actually kinda liked Baldur's Gate, though, it was pretty simple and it let me play a Gnomish pimp.
