I'll have to agree with Kronostia. Final Fantasy at least doesn't TRY to give the appearance of choice, plus the combat system and characters are cooler. Also, you DO have SOME choice in the FF games, it's not 100% linear. You generally have at least one point in the game where you can spend some time just exploring the world.

Arcanum would have been FAR better than the BG series if it hadn't been for some unfortunate balance issues between technology and magic.

Vampire? I had far more fun playing that than the BG games. BG1 was sorta fun, but BG2 and ToB were totally munchkin games.
