Golden Sun.
Otherwise, not really, unless I haven't finished the game. Actually, I've never finished any of my most favourite RPGs save Golden Sun and Quest for Glory III (door bug did it for me in QfG1 back then, otherwise that'd be on the list too and I haven't gotten around to finishing it yet, the two times I did, I encountered weird bugs for some reason), so I'm in a way constantly replaying them anytime I start playing them, since I know those parts already.

I'm looking at you, Baldur's Gate.

I don't replay. Exception is when I rush through game and want my 2nd playthrough to be as perfect as possible. I'd rather mess with my latest savegame than restart all from scratch.

Snickersnack: Sometimes. I remember playing through Dragon Age: Origins with drastically different characters to see how events could play out differently. That was a lot of fun.
That's probably my most replayed "long" game, i wanted to see all character origins, then i wanted to see what changes between races, then i wanted to see how different it is playing a male character. It really had a lot of replayability. I actually plan on playing it once more in the next few days.

I usually replay my favourites every once in a while. like Baldur's Gate, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlnes, Gothic 1 & 2 or Mass Effect 1 & 2
Well, let's see, I've played Fallout 3 through 5 times, New Vegas through 3 times, Fallout 1 at least 4, Divine Divinity all the way to the end at least 3 times, I'm on my third play through of Two Worlds right now and am thinking about my second play through of Skyrim next....

I'm thinking my answer to this question is probably a yes....

ADDED IN EDIT: Oh, I should say though, that my grandfather (father's side) died after living in a nursing home the last 7 years of his life with dementia so bad he couldn't be communicated with, and then my father died in a nursing home after 5 years of the exact same thing, and that my memory is now acting like I'm on the same path, so maybe that's why I can replay games so easily. I forget almost everything.

For me, most games do not warrant a replay. It is a matter of quality and memory, than of length. I probably will replay the first Witcher before moving onto the Witcher 2.
There are only a handful of games that I've enjoyed replaying over the years, even shorter ones. I prefer to experience the game and move on.
Yes, I do. And I also try to complete all the quests, explore all the places, try to get all the game offers. ^_^
Depends on the RPG. If it's story focussed, then no, or at least not until I've forgotten my original playthrough - which unfortunately takes longer with the better stories, for obvious reasons. It would feel wrong to be replaying it with a different character while I still remember the first, and I've been known to avoid youtube let's plays of games I've recently played for the same reason. If it's the mechanics that have kept my interest, then I'd be willing to replay it after a short gap to prevent it from becoming stale, as with any other genre.
Yes. I usually replay them as soon as I finish the first playthrough. I went through Fallout three or four times, thrice through Shadowrun Returns, twice through Dragonfall (and plan to do it again in the near future), twice through Bloodlines. That's in the last year or so. I've finished all my favorites multiple times, and plan to do so again, though I try to follow the ~ten year rule.

The reasons vary with with the game - character builds, story choices, particularly engaging characters, the setting, nonlinearity, etc.

If I liked the game, probably I'll replay it but probably when time passes. I have replayed FF7 and FFX for example, and those are quite long. But I prefer to replay them at least a year or two after the first play if not more, when I don't remember it well.
With very few exceptions, I usually don't. I'm trying to complete pretty much everything within the way I've chosen, but when it's done it's done. There are too many other excellent games out there and free time is limited.
Planescape: Torment and Arcanum, yes. Both fantastic games that I still haven't beaten. Trying to think if there are any others...

Bauldur's Gate 2, haven't been able to replay that, though I STILL want to know what's in that giant metal ship thing in the main town! (Don't tell me... I'll figure it out some day LOL)

My copy of Planescape: Torment has a botched map and can't continue with the story. As I've stated many times here. I should just shut up about it. But it's SUCH a good GAME!!

Deus Ex: Invisible War, started re-playing that as well. There's a few more of em out there.

Cyraxpt: I was having a conversation with my friend and he was talking about someday (still this year) return to The Witcher 3 and start all over again from the beginning and that's something that i can't do, dunno, i feel like the story was told and i don't feel like starting from lvl 0 when i already had this high level character with really good equipment, even if it's a game that i really liked. Not to say that it requires a large amount of time and i have other stuff to play...

But if it's something that i played a long time ago and i don't remember some of the stuff then i don't mind.

So, does anyone feel the same?
For me, it depends on the story. If I was enthralled by the story, then I'll come back and play it again at some point. Now, I would most likely not re-play a ~200 hour game within the same year, but 3-5 years later? Yeah. And, most especially if there are alternate endings to explore (which may warrant a sooner re-play if I'm so inclined). It's like re-reading a good book years later. Or rewatching a favorite movie/movies or TV series.

Alternatively if it's a sandbox like Minecraft or Skyrim or Fallout, then absolutely. I'm not sure I've ever actually stopped playing Minecraft or Skyrim since 2011. Taken breaks from them, sure, but I always come back and toss on a new mod or start a new character, new world seed. I actually role play my TES and Fallout characters, so rather than re-playing the same main quest over and over, I usually install an alternate start mod and build a character how I want to play, even if that means never starting the main quest. (Truth be told... I've never actually finished Skyrim's main quest.)

Hell, I'm still re-playing old JRPGs from the NES and SNES era that I could easily sink 50-100 hours into.
The original Witcher. Love replaying that game.

darthspudius: The original Witcher. Love replaying that game.
it's easier to replay a game where the character isn't supposed to be an avatar for you. not saying every rpg should be like that but it is a nice change of pace when it works.
