Planescape Torment. :D Only bad thing about the game was the battle system, then again with my charisma and intelligence I went the entire game fighting only about 6 times. :P

mass effect 2 is the better game by far. but as for as an RPG goes, KOTOR is my favorite at what the genre sets out to do.

Amazing story, characters, and combat. I still wish for a 3rd on a regular basis, hell I would even settle for an update of the original.

That depends, Mass effect 2 is very light on RPG mechanics, and is essentialy a shooter. Mass Effect 1 is more of an RPG, but lacks the Fun ME2 had. Mix the LVLing system of ME1 (and Combat) with ME2 story line and quests and we'd have a brilliant game. But mine is KOTOR, now only if i could count Bloodbowl as an RPG (Mmmm, my Chaos team of mutant freaks).

Plus, there are more memorable moments in 2 I find, such as as running up the Skyway to the palace: especially if you've managed to overpower yourself XD. ME are brilliant games, I'm just not sure they deserve 'best RPG'...

PS:T is by far the best written RPG ever. In terms of gameplay, the original Paper Mario had a fast-paced and engaging combat system and avoided the tedium of endless random encounters, so I'd probably go with that. It was also hilarious.

People always talk about the "mechanics", but what about the actual role playing experience?

Mass Effect 2, mainly it's exactly why I always expected from a RPG. People can see it's not deep but I see it as focusing on the right thing, not on the boring ones.

Planescape: Torment went out of print YEARS ago. As such, it has been hard to find and corollary coupled with an inflated price. However, I believe it was re-released by some publisher last year, so it should be availible here and there; as well as quite affordable. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/10/27/planescape-torment-re-release/ Check Amazon and ebay.
