Unforgettable.
I can't say there aren't things I'd change if I could. The graphics and AI have not aged well, and there were some bits that made it to production unfinished. Nevertheless, if I were told that I could only ever play one game again in my life, this would be my first choice. I'm not even sure I'd call it an RPG in the classic sense-- it's more like an interactive story, but one so intense and evocative that it sucked me in in a way no other video game ever has. It wraps itself around your heart and mind until you're almost there. Wandering the silver mines and the tower of London honestly scared me, and had me jumping at every sound. I hated Count Orsi with a passion I've never before or since experienced in a game. My heart broke when a friend died, and I yelled with glee when another friend returned. And at the end, I literally stood up and cheered. It's an epic story of good vs evil, love and loss, friend and foe, and the conquering power of an honest heart.
