1. Mass Effect. I loved the look, the story, the characters, and overall design of this game; the fact that it's Edmonton based and thus only 5 hours from me was pretty cool too.
2. Morrowind. This one was fun when i spammed the Jack of Trades glitch and could do whatever I wanted and the open world enviroment really worked for me.
3. Oblivion. Another good RPG that I really enjoyed playing at first and now works as a great filler game between releases.
4. Golden Sun I & II. Both were really fun JRPGs and I loved the plot of the game. I foind myself really attached to the characters in this game and remains two of my most played Game Boy games.
5. Chrono Trigger. I never had an NES so when I found it on an emulater i downloaded I started it up and was hooked now my old MAC sits in my room collecting dust though I do break it out once and a while for this great game.

Pokemon is good if you have some one IRL to play with, as the VS. play is incredably deep, otherwise it's a collectathon on the scale of WoW. The best part about the story is that you don't need to grind if you simply play smart.
Like a lot of others, Golden Sun 1 and 2 are good. The magic/development system is very nice and the puzzles are difficult without being cheezy. Also, you don't need to grind if you stay on top of things in boss fights.
Lastly, Yggsra Union for the GBA. Very unique battle system. It's like fire Emblem, but there are twice as many weapon ypes and you don't need to maintain equipment. It is complicated as balls, though, and you generally have to plan out what you are going to do one or two turns ahead. Also, it is impossible to aimlessly grind. When you beat a level, the story progresses, so you are constantly advancing.It may be quite hard though, if you don't plan, so it may not be for you.
It seems all my favorite RPGs don't force you to grind.

I'm guessing most of you are too young to remember, but Shadowrun was pure condensed awesome. The 1996 version, not the stupid abomination that was the 2007 crap-fest.
Out of the more modern ones I'd kind of go with a pick and mix of Oblivion, Morrowind and Daggerfall. There were bits of each that were fantastic, if only they'd merged those bits the resulting chimera would have been holy.

Sadly.. I don't think I'll ever experience a game like I did the first time I played:
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
I got so lost in the world and the story was fantastic. It had a great character creation system, and let you become almost anything you wanted.
Sure.. it had many flaws, but I stand my ground when I say it was 10 times more imaginative than Oblivion.

I'm no RPG freak but why haven't games like Icewind Dale II, Baldurs II, NWN and such come up?
I'm not asking because I think they are the best. I have no idea which games are the best, since I don't know much about it. But I have played all 3 of those and I enjoyed them, very yes.
So do they suck or is it just some Hiphop-type phonomena where you only dig the "underground" and not those wack ass mainstream games. Or are you all just a bunch of JRPG'ers?
TBH I don't know which games are "better" in an RPG format. I can only evaluate based on my level of enjoyment. So:
Baldurs Gate II: Dark Alliance (only on console I think)
KoTOR I + II
Mass Effect is pretty neat-O
