What's the best RPG "Baldur's Gate" style?

Planescape: Torment
Because it somehow manages to accomplish the nearly-impossible and do it's setting justice, which here more than anything else means that how you play changes the world around you.

Morte and I agree.

Eh, that'd be Planescape: Torment, chief.

Definietly Torment.

I love BG&BG2, PoE, I like IWD 1-2, but i just can't understand weird Planescape Torment's universe. It's just another set, dark alien fantasy or something without cobolds, knights and orcs ;-) (but the game is masterpiece for it's fans, definitely).

No idea about Baldur's gate. I'm more familiar with D&D style RPG. But I heard PoE is like that.

Neverwinter Nights.

Playing Planescape Torment now. I fucking love it.

Torment....by far

Really only played Torment from this list. I bought BG at release but didn't get into it, didn't play BG2 because I didn't play 1, didn't play Icewind Dale because I read it was more combat oriented, didn't play IWD2 because I didn't play 1, and I didn't play Pillars of Eternity because I hardly play on the PC these days.

I do own BG EE and BG2 EE on Android and plan to play them one day.

Planescape Torment.

PS:T did not have the best gameplay though, that either goes to Icewind Dale or Temple of Elemental Evil (ToEE is a bit different, as it's a purely turnbased game).

Haven't finished any of them, but I'll go with Baldur's Gate and PoE.

P.S: Anyone knows in which game of this type there is a mage character that is on fire and cannot wear any armor? (Not the godlike from PoE).

Finished every single game from the poll (besides Pillars, finishing Act III atm ;>) and Torment is still to this very day best of them. Heck, I still believe Torment to be the greatest video game released ever. I keep it installed and modded to this very day and I still play it through every now and then :>

I have high hopes for Torment: Tides of Numenera. But as it is, I have to jump on the planscape torment bandwagon. It is the most pollished isometric rpg I played.

I'm quite particular to the first Icewind Dale. Had the atmosphere and a brilliant soundtrack, and I guess being the first RPG I've ever played also contributes to my love for this game. BG2 comes close second, as it's perhaps the most polished and balanced game of them all.

I fully understand Torment's strong points but the game was frustrating at times with its monster respawns and poor difficulty optimization. I definitely enjoyed the storyline and the characters (Fall-From-Grace still is one of my three favorite characters ever), but I didn't have much fun playing the game really.

PoE and IWD2 were also good, but perhaps not as good as the three aforementioned games, and the first BG was... well... boring.

I think it's neverwinter nights (don't mix with the online neverwinter please! and the second Neverwinnter Nights which came out later.. it's true that it's forgotten realms but I liked it anyway =)

I think the OP intended to ask "What's the best Infinity Engine game?" as NWN or Pool Of Radiance 2 proposed here are not IE...

Except for PoE I've played and own all in their original CD versions, and I liked them all - BG2 more than BG1, IWD2 more than IWD.

Anyone ever bothered to click at the link in the first post? what's that counter at baldursgate.com for? 9days, 14hours... Did/Will Beamdog anounce another EE or something?

edit: ok I just found this http://toucharcade.com/2015/06/29/beamdog-officially-revealing-its-new-baldurs-gate-game-in-ten-days/

Torment, that $hit was sick. sick good not sick bad mind you :P

1) Planescape: Torment
2) Baldur's Gate II --> This game required deep knowledge of the magic system to succeed, far more technical than its predecessor.
3) Baldur's Gate --> Melee weapons were the order of the day in this first game. Magic was of secondary importance.
4) Icewind Dale I & 2 --> Character creation is incredible here, but gameplay isn't of the quality of above games -- still impressive though.

How come Planescape: Torment isn't on Steam? I've wanted to play it for over a decade now.

There should be an entry for template of elemental evil. Since it isn't I voted Icewind Dale 2.

Delete Pillars of eternity and add Temple of Elemental Evil
WHy? PoE has a different(bad and broken) set of rules and some gameplay choices were really bad. For example you have a ranger in team but he's not able to hunt or light a fire(it's the only explanation i can give for having a limited number of supplies for rest).
Temple of Elemental Evil, despite his various bugs, it had the closest ruleset adaptation from D&D.

I would even DARE adding Heroes of Steel RPG and the Avernum saga to the list since the gameplay reminds a lot the paper game sessions of D&D despite using a different(but not so muc) ruleset.

hey why arent the fallout games there :P, still Torment.

Not in style, but Divinity Original Sin the best RPG what I played in last years.

Its called cRPG

And the best one is Torment
