I like over the shoulder or first person RPGs where you control one character because it has a more personal feel to it.

StingingVelvet: Also robo-President's dialog toward the end was terrible.
But he had an awesome VA! Imo, it was one of the "so bad it was good" speeches. Well, it fitted a movie Mars Attacks more than a game like Fallout...
Fallout 2
Diablo 2

That's Malcolm McDowell for you. Best performance in the game. You simply can't go wrong with him.
I generally prefer party RPGs though I normally will play them with no more than 4 characters if they're designed for 6-8.

One thing I don't like, though, is the "fixed party that levels equally but you can only choose two characters + protagonist" thing that Jade Empire/KotoR/DA/Avadon/etc do. The individual games can be good, of course, but I find that particular mechanic to be rather annoying. Not only can I not get rid of anyone regardless of how useless or irritating they are, but there's generally an "all of your sidekicks working together!" mission towards the end of the game that's very poorly balanced. I even prefer the weird NPC recruitment scheme that Wizardry 8 uses to that nonsense.

Solo RPGs can be truly excellent, but there's often a strong undercurrent of murderhobo in those games that somewhat bothers me. The only real exception to that is Morrowind due to how integrated you can become in Dunmer society.

reaver894: Baldurs gate but use the multiplayer thing to create a party of 6 mages :-)

6 fireballs = WoMD
Play a solo sorcerer with the XP cap removed. While the beginning is very hard he soon becomes stronger than any 6 men party.
Seeing roleplaying in quotes, I wasn't quite sure what type of roles or playing we were talking about... Now that I read the responses, I guess "naughty nurse" doesn't count... hehe

The voice acting was great, I just wish he was reading something comprehensible or with an ounce of wit or sense.
