This, this, and more this.

Best series I've ever played. Only games I have put over a hundred hours into.

Also the only games that I feel like I don't know everything about even though I've had them for over 2 years.

Can I just list a few? I don't think I could pick just one.
In no order, these are my favorite RPGs
Final Fantasy VIII
Shadow Hearts
Xenogears
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
The Witcher
Mass Effect 1
Dragon Age: Origins

edit: Wow! This is my first post?? After all these years(don't let my sign up date fool you, I've followed ATS for a long long time, I remember still being in high school when I found this site.) my first post is in the video game forum? lol

I agree with many of those, but not on a few like mass effect.

However, I have to give you props for experiencing Xenogears. It's an underrated classic and much of it is a result of overshadowing from name brand titles. (unfortunately, ff8 was part of the cause)

Grandia, Grandia 2, Lunar 2

recently I really enjoyed Valkyria Chronicles and Ar tonelico Qoga

Fallout 2. No game will ever come close to that.
