I mostly play console games. I moved away from the whole PC game thing. I used to play a lot of them, but I have more fun and am more relaxed playing my PS2, Wii, etc.

I listed some of these earlier, but I'll do it again listing by age and 2D/3D.
I know there are tons of fun RPGs pre-90s but I'm ignoring those. (sorry Ultima fans) Most games that old are freeware, shareware and/or abandonware by now. I'm also ignoring games I know are console to PC ports like Final Fantasy VIII and Jade Empire even though most of them are solid ports.

Old school (2D graphics - 3D person Isometric View)

Arcanum: of Steamworks & Magick Obscura - steampunk RPG using the Fallout Engine
Baldur's Gate Series (Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword coast, Baldur's Gate II: Shadow of Amn, Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Baal) - truly epic in every sense of the word.
Fallout I & II - everyone's favorite post-nuclear-war RPG and it's sequel
Icewind Dale Ultimate Collection - Pure D&D Dugeon Crawling
Planescape: Torment (My personal favorite out of all the games listed.) The best story out of the Black Isle era.

Recent (3D graphics - free cam)

Deus Ex - An FPS RPG for a lack of a better term.
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Huge world, amazing music, lots of running around.... If the older graphics bother you, the web has tons of texture and model updates.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - see above.
Freedom Force - I'm not sure if it's an RPG or a RTS. Either way it's about super heroes. Wonderfully campy and unique.
Gothic - fun game, it's older, so look for patches and the like.
Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition - Includes the original game, both expansions, and some extra modules.
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer - (it's an expansion) NwN2 was okay, but I loved the expansion storyline.
System Shock 2 - I figured if I can include Deus Ex & Freedom Force, I can include this.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines - Not bad once it's patched, but it falls in the love it or leave it category. And yes you do want the fan made patches.
The Witcher - haven't played it but I've heard great things about it.
