For single player RPGs, the world knows no finer than Morrowind. You have nearly complete freedom on a very large continent. Follow the main quest if you like, or not. Join a religious faction and do holy quests, or not. Join a great house or a guild and take over, or not. Want to be a vampire or a werewolf? Go for it! The beauty of this game is that you can do whatever the hell you want -- but never without consequences. The absolute plethora of mods available (over 3000 on one website alone) will make sure you don't get bored after you've done everything there is to do, although doing everything would probably take you a very, very long time. Supposedly, there is a mod being released soon that will add rougly 4000 new quests, marriages, pregnancy, and a ton of new features to the game. This is just one mod.
I really recommend you pick this game up -- rougly $30 for the Game of the Year edition, which comes with the expansions Tribunal and Bloodmoon, a must have to really enjoy everything Morrowind has to offer.
