WRPG: Jade Empire,found it at a gamestop for about $7,my best use of $7, some runers up were oblivian and morrowind(if I could get into it more it might have taken the top spot.
JRPG: FF6, Grest charcters,great story,and Kefka is just insane. Others would be Tales of Symphonia/Vesperia, the Paper Marios, Chrono Trigger and FF4.
The Castlevanias post SoTN have always been a great set of action RPGS as well with the sorrow sub series sticking out as great.

Old:
Baldur's Gate II
Expansive game (250+hr), and even more enjoyable with all the mods that are around.
Planescape: Torment
One of the best stories in a game. If you want a different atmosphere than standard fantasy.
Fallout 1+2
Great story, I actually prefer 2 because of more options.
Newer:
The Witcher
Excellent story, and very enjoyable because of the consquences of your actions.
For example; You can help some rebels steal some weapons in the beginning of the game, only to find out they used those same weapons to assasinate a person you need information from.
There is no clear right or wrong choice.
(I am going to reinstall this game with the enhancements after I finished my exams)
Mass Effect
Large game with an excellent story.
Great atmosphere but less difference in consequences than for example 'The Witcher'
Fallout3
Free world, but the ending ruined it for me.

Baldur's Gate and it's clones where nice, even if very repetitive, because of thier immersion (at the time.) Problem is, Morrowind came out and showed the world what true immersion meant. True freedom, both to explore and role-play. So that basicly just left Black Isle with thier glitches and bugs. Still awesome games in thier time.Socdk said:
I am a little surprised Neverwinter Nights hasn't been mentioned more though since it has opened up an outlet for tabletop rpgers to visially roleplay with thier friends. NWN is a lot more enthralling than playing through chat-channels and sites IMO. I still prefer pen and paper to console/computer though.

EDIT
Scratch that, misread. Planescape torment for the PC get's my trophy
gawd there are a lot of good RPGs
here's a list of the ones that stayed with me.
Terranigma
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VIII
Xeno Gears
Golden Sun
Golden Sun the lost age
Breath of Fire 4
Vampire the masquerade: Bloodlines
Diablo 2
Jade empire
Tales of Phantasia (gba)
Fallout 3
Morrowind GotY
The world ends with you
Lunar Knights
Pokemon
Super mario RPG
Mario & Luigi: super star saga
The witcher
and that's about it. I'm not really a big RPG player I guess. I can't really tell wich one is the best and wich isn't, I had fun with all of these so there they are.

Morrowind is definately the best RPG ever. With any luck Bethesda will realise that in Oblivion they fixed everything which wasn't wrong with Morrowind and TES 5 will be even better.
The Gothic series is also very good provided your machine will run them and they don't crash with every fourth step you take.

Wow, are you my long lost twin or something? Those are both of my favorite RPGs (although I like Golden Sun more then ToS.Lord RPGs said:
My Top 3:
1. Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
Bloodlines is awesome as an RPG because it allows you to deal with a lot of the quests in 3 different manners, depending on the character you are playing. You can decide if you like it brutal, sneaky or social. Yes, it had plenty of bugs when it hit the shelf which is a cardinal sin. But shortly after fix 1.2 came out covering most of the issues.
2. Mass Effect
3. Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic
Follow up: Baldurs Gate 2, Planescape Torment, Fallout 2

Hands Down: Baldur's Gate.
Best I ever played during that time, and best I've played since. Nothing comes close.
I'm hoping Dragon Age: Origins will be the next winner.
EDIT:
There was little to no actual role-playing in Morrowind! You didn't even have conversation choices (Very rarely)! The only thing really great about Morrowind, by comparison, was the graphics.
But the story, the NPCs, the dialogue, the quests, and pretty much every other part of the part of the game was completely and totally lacking compared to Baldur's Gate, or even Icewind Dale! And I remember very few glitches or bugs in any Infinity Engine Game, and heaps and piles in Morrowind (Continuous crashes, errors, and the like).
Don't get me wrong, I loved Morrowind! I got it the day it came out, and had a blast running all around that crazy island. But I still, to this day, play Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, and both 'Icewind Dale's, over and over. I couldn't play Morrowind again if I tried.

I would say that, by far, Baldur's Gate was far far more immersive then Morrowind.New Troll said:
