Dragon Age Origins. I would write FF13, but, you have to stay awake and interested, and so far, it isn't doing it for me.
DAO so far, gameplay is rubbish, but that may be because I don't know the nuances of it yet. The story and characters so far are terrific and if I did get bored, I could try out a different character. I chose a noble dwarven fighter. I have to think, had I chosen an elvish mage, while the beginning is different, the story must intersect at some point? If not, it will be like I purchased several different games in one.
