Dragon Age: Origins
 |
Dragon Age is a new RPG franchise by BioWare, and Origins the first game in what I hope to be a series. And what an excellent game it turned out to be! It rekindled my waning faith in the genre and medium.
Not to mention stirring my creative juices. I've already released my first mod:

And to think it hasn't yet been three full months since I bought the game, suspicious and barely allowing myself some hope just because the Codex didn't crucify it completely.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
 |
Difficult to introduce to an unsuspecting audience something that's been a favorite hobby and pastime for so many years. Oblivion was released in 2006 and I can honestly claim there hasn't been a day ever since that I spent without once thinking of it.

Although subject to much critique, some of it my own, for cheapening the genre and sporting many inconsistencies in story and design, it remains a pillar of modern gaming and of my gaming experience.
The Witcher
 |
One of the best RPGs I ever played. The Witcher positively bewitched me :) If you like to play games, and are of age, I wholeheartedly recommend trying it out.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
 |
If it was difficult to speak of Oblivion in objective terms, it's even more so with Morrowind, which introduced me to the genre, and which I still look up to, measuring excellence in other games by how close they come to it.

Not that it is a perfect game. It is old, and by contemporary standards quite static, insufficiently interactive, with click-fest combat and avatars that look like puppets. But the art, the imagination! A game from 2002 that still looks and feels amazingly magical.
