I've come to realise I just love playing barbarians!

Which RPGs have really fun barbarians ?

So far I've enjoyed NWN and Icewind dale.

Not an RPG but I love Diablo 2's barbarian. He can be kind of dull to begin with but once you start getting deep into his skill set he's a blast.

You can go for Neverwinter nights 2 or Morrowind.
You can also play Temple of elemental evil but that one is kinda hard.
If you mean playing a dude swinging massive weapons then you can also try Divinity 2. You're not exactly a barbarian but you can adjust your character in a lot of ways (and you get to turn into a dragon too).
If you want something more actiony then there's Blade of darkness (which got pulled from the gog catalogue, sadly, so you can't download it from here unless you bought it when it was still available on gog) or Fable (which is more of a cartoony fairytale though and it's not on gog at all.

Now that I think about it, I never really liked barbarians in any true RPGs because you are always sacrificing charisma and intellect for brawn which really limits your interaction and in some games can even cancel out some quests. I suppose you can counter this in Icewind because you have a group, but in the NWN you really are handicapped.

In crawlers like Diablo, Sacred, and Torchlight being a big strong moron doesn't really change how the game unfolds.

Bronan the Brobarian is one of the best bros from Broforce, and even though Blade of Darkness isn't here anymore, Rune has similar gameplay. You're not a barbarian in Rune, but judging by the end results of fights you just has well might be :)

And I've always liked the barbarians you can create/recruit in the infinity engine games. They're not as efficient as fighters always, but they can land and explode enemies with some ridiculously heavy hits sometimes.

For the absolute best, single bestest experience as a Barbarian, you need "Blade of Darkness". Unfortunately, gog removed it a short time ago.

Dragon's Dogma's warrior class with aesthetically appropriate gear lets you wrestle lesser beings into submission. Plus you can create another barbarian sidekick.

They're great for an Iron Man run as well, being immune to the Game Over spells.

That's interesting, what would be an example of a game over spell? Petrification?

Infinity engine game iron man run though ... nooooo thank you :P

Oh i thought you mean actual burning and looting. I think Mount & Blade might have some of that.

Also I need to watch Conan again. (No not that goofball. Arnold.)
