Im going to recommend a very different type of rpg. I have played them all, from he offlines like baldurs gate to oblivion and the onlines all the way back to age of camalot to the current day everquest II and WoW. But in my opinion the very best rpg is a game called EVE-Online. http://www.eve-online.com/
Its an online game but the game itself is free, you just pay to play, but take it from me, its absolutely worth it! It requires months of play to really get the most out of eve and it will take you a week or two to fully get to grips with it, and realise how big the world that they have given you is. There are no 12yo whiny players to bug the shit out of you, most players are 20 or over. The Dev team are one of the best i have ever seen. They will always let you know whats going on, and if there is a problem(which there rarely is) the can always be trusted to give you the no BS answer. They are fully aware that the players pay their wages and arnt afraid to admit it. Also, with the new game graphic engine being released next year it will ensure that for the next 5years at least this game will be on top of the graphics leaderboard. The game is run on a vaste amount of servers all linked together to form a cluster. The game takes place on this whole cluster. What this means is that ALL the players are on the same single server in the same gaming universe playing the same game. So you can imagine that its quite an experience to actually play it.
Anyway, just passing on the word of a worth while game from one gamer to the other. Give the site a glance at least, but beware.... once you play eve, you can never leave!
