As I've gotten older I've gravitated more and more away from first person shooters and more towards RPG's. It's not so much about the slow-paced gameplay but about playing something that has a compelling story and characters. I'm currently playing "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" and it is easily one of the top 5 greatest RPG's I've ever played. My other four would be,
Knights of the Old Republic
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Skyrim

That's a tough one. I'll give it a shot though. And these are based on what I felt at the time, not based on retrospect or judged against current titles. In no particular order.
Deus Ex
Gothic 2
Witcher 3
Fallout 3
Morrowind
There are another dozen I could have put in that list easy. And that doesn't even include CRPGs.

Not really played too many, but I've played and enjoyed these the most:
KOTOR
ME2
Skyrim
Fallout New Vegas
Deus Ex and DE:HR
I'm currently playing Oblivion (only just started, so can't say much about it) and the South Park RPG which is actually surprisingly good as well as hilarious. I'll get Fallout 4 when it goes on sale, no rush.
Honorable mentions:
KOTOR 2
ME 1 and 3
Fallout 3
STALKERs kinda
The Jedi Master

KOTOR and Mass Effect. KOTOR I still would rank as one of the best games of all time.
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Eye of the Beholder
Phantasy Star
Dungeon Master
Baldurs Gate
Pool of Radiance
Yep. Old school. Those old SSI D&D games? I remember playing them on my old (well back then it was new) 386 black and white laptop with a 10 inch screen. There was one that was part of a series with Eye of the Beholder being one of them and Pool of Radiance being the other. Can't no longer remember the titles of the rest. And also IMO, FF VII on Sony Playstation 1 and the Lunar series on the Sega were the best RPG I ever played.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Dragon Age: Origins by far. Simply great. Its expansion, Awakenings, was also very good. DA2 was such a terrible let-down, it was as if someone had deliberately decided to make it worse in every single aspect.
Mass Effect 1. Again, ME2 felt like someone was looking deliberately for ways to make it worse ("let's remove weapon/armor mods and bring in loading screens!") and ME3 was where that same person finally got his way.

Eye of the Beholder and Pool of Radiance had their own series, and Pool of Radiance was part of the Gold Box games. You're probably thinking of the Curse of the Azure Bonds or the Secret of the Silver Blades, sequels to the Pool of Radiance.
