There are too many too list. I have always been fond of the ultima and wizardry games, though they go way back. I guess it just comes from me growing up playing D&D (how there was a rule book in the middle east, I'll never know). And I know I am going to get flamed to shreds for my view on what an RPG is and how broad the scope of the genre is, but I must say I truly enjoyed Oblivion. The core gameplay mechanics were simply stunning(ie combat, how being a mage actually works with the combat system, and tons and tons of land to explore). Although I wish there were more dialog choices, the game is still incredible for what it is. I also like the rest of the elder scrolls series, and like how they have made the games simpler, yet more feasible since Daggerfall (Arena was slightly underwhelming to me at the time). And then comes the black isle studios games, most of which I loved to death. They were and still are, the epitome of what I believe tactical RPG's should be(again, fostered by my early days being spent with D&D). I would buy a remake of icewind dale with prettier graphics in a heart beat, not to mention the baldurs gate games.
After long thoughts, I would have to say planescape: torment. The journeys of the nameless one and the revelations within the various plot twists make this game arguably my favorite RPG.
