As the title suggests, what is your favorite medieval themed game. It could be action, adventure, strategy, RPG, or anything.

I thought you were talking about MediEvil for some reason. Hmm, I'd say Final Fantasy VI comes to the top of my head but if I sat down and thought about it I'd be able to come up with a whole list.
This is where I wrote something funny

Medievil is always a classic game and one of the beloved classics. I would also say some RPGs like FF9 and FF4, also FF6 and quite a few of them actually. Also added to that Morrowind. People could argue FF9 isn't due to the Steampunk themed Lindblum but the majority of it, including Pandemonium is more medivilish brought together than other genres.

if the fantasy is set in a medieval like world it could be included
in that case Dragon age origins
in case not Empire Earth, though technically EE goes from prehistory to the future, but it can be set to only include the medieval ages
Its only rape if you say no.
Say no to rape.

Could count yourself amongst that by your own logic. Many fantasy games do have heavy medieval themes.
I thought Skyrim was pretty epic. I think Chivalry: Medieval Warfare's pretty cool. (even though I don't have it, I'm thinking of getting it).
That Scout is a Soldier!
Quite a lot of my favourite games have a medieval setting, now that I think about it.
The Elder Scrolls series
The Zelda series
Final Fantasy 6
The Golden Sun series (to some extend)

Still, I thought FF9 had more a late 17th century setting actually. Of course there are medieval themed areas, but places like Lindblum, Treno and Alexandria seemed to have developed well past the medieval times. There's also airships and balloons and stuff which is even more late 18th century.

It's just how you want to define it.
If you look at the architecture, culture, clothing of characters and the technology I think it's fair to say some fantasy games have a medieval-like setting.
I'd say the first Assassins Creed and Oblivion.
Oblivion may be more fantasy but it captured that medieval feel than any other ES game.

All games are fantasy.
Anyways, Age of Empires II.
You should totally add me on one of my various game accounts:
360 - Malachi117. Steam - Malachi117. PS3/PS4 - NarcolepticCat.
Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and count fantasy games with heavy medieval influences and themes.
Oblivion
Skyrim
Dragon's Dogma
Dragon's Lair
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
Medievil 2 (I didn't play much of the first one, but I beat the second one)
Probably Dragon's Dogma, Skyrim, or even Dark Souls. All have very heavy medieval elements.
If we are considering medieval themed fantasy, I'll say of course any Zelda game. However, I'd say Assassin's Creed 2 if Zelda is too fantasy for one's definition.
Although ACII is Renaissance so it's really not medieval either. Hm.

Fantasy =/= Medieval.

Total War isn't terribly historically accurate either.
He said he's after "medieval" games... not "historically accurate medieval" games. It's perfectly reasonable to assume he meant medieval as in medieval ages, of which there existed no magic or fairies. At least not factually, people seeing things they didn't understand doesn't count as magic.
There is quite the difference between fantasy and medieval. Fantasy is product of imagination and fancy. Medieval is based in reality, as it is a time in our own history. Given his request, it sounds like he wants a game based in medieval times, not a game based on spell flinging and pink spikey haired heroines with abilities beyond that of a normal human being.
Also... I'd recommend Chivalry as well... disregarding the fact that I've never played it... it looks like it'd be a great game for someone looking for a medieval fix. As well as War of the Roses, which, to my understanding, is done by the same people who did Mount and Blade.

Good choice.
Mine would have to be Stronghold Crusader though. I'm not really considering fantasy games for this poll.

Would I need to play the first one to understand what's going on in the second one?

Not really, but you will miss out on some references from the previous title and who the characters are. The journal does a fine job on explaining everything if you're ever lost. The first one is really good in terms of story.
There are a couple of downsides to it such as a slow beginning (as in, the story doesn't pick up until Act 2) and awkward combat mechanics. I say awkward because there are a couple of enemies that cannot be hit unless you use the right style (for the prologue anyway; that changes when you level up). If you have the patience, then you'll like the witcher. Thankfully, they ditched the "styles" and went with a more traditional fighting system in the Witcher 2.
If we're talking medieval games with fantasy, I suppose Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls series, Witcher series, and even the Souls series.

I got bored of it in, approximately, a week, but Skyrim was awesome while I enjoyed it.

I played it constantly for like a year straight.
