Whats the best medieval RPG?
What is the best medieval roleplaying game in your opinion? I wanna try to keep this topic a bit organized so I will have a list of medieval RPG's I've tried below, my opinions on them, and a game "profile" under that. Fill out the info of the game in the profile. I'm looking for a really good medieval RPG that is very realistic. I love roleplaying and I love medieval times.

Games I've tried
1 - The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind
2 - The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
3 - Perfect World
4 - Dungeons and Dragons Online
5 - Everquest 2(free)
6 - World of Warcraft
7 - Runes of Magic

My opinion of them
1 - It was good but I never really got "into" the graphics. It just looked too "clunky" to me.
2 - Probably the best medieval game I've ever played. But I felt it was missing some stuff even when I had a million mods.
3 - The character creation was nice but the leveling was a little too slow.
4 - I never really got into that game, I don't know why.
5 - Same as with DDO, never really liked it much for some unknown reason.
6 - I like it but it got boring after I got one character to a high level, I just felt like I was repeating the game over with a different character. And its P2P, too.
7 - I just couldn't figure out the interface.

I agree to this. But still my favorite was Oblivion.

I know Oblivion is awesome but even with all the best mods it never felt real to me.

Game name: The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind
Platform(s): Xbox, PC
Players: 1
Price: $15 on Steam
Website: http://elderscrolls.com (Morrowind official plugins are now gone. D:)
Personal notes: Best ever RPG I've played. It has a great environment, great story. Oblivion was real bland, the environment was cookie cutter for an rpg, and "I saw a mudcrab the other day". Also morrowind has no facezoom, it doesn't have much voice acting for regular dialogue.
