Favorite PC RPG of all time?

I haven't been into gaming for a while, but I'm on spring break and am feeling the urge to absorb myself into some fantastical RPG. Any suggestions on what to get? What's been your all-time favorite?

Hi- A while ago I used to play Star Wars: Empire at War. It was quite enjoyable, it will keep you occupied. Age of Mythology is decent too.

TeS IV: Oblivion
I haven't played Fallout 3 yet, but it looks amazing.
The Witcher has amazing potential but I just couldn't get into it, give it a shot anyways.

Fallout 2 with high resolution patch and restoration project is still very excellent if turn based combat doesn't turn you off. - This is my all time favourite
I also recommend oblivion and morrowind (with 3rd party graphics, models and textures enhancements)
Diablo 2 still has a reasonably strong online community.
Haven't played Fallout 3 yet either, it looks awesome - the main downside for me is not being able to continue after finishing main quest...pfft you could do it in Fallout 2 side quests n all.
Anyone know if i can run Fallout3 given i can run Oblivion on high settings? (i know i need more ram (only got 1gig), but i'm using a Nvidia 7600gs as my graphics card - it handles oblivion excellently on latest drivers)

Oh whoops you are right. I get RTS and RPG mixed up sometimes.
I think World of Warcraft is an RPG, most people I know that play it are quite immersed in it.

Final fantasy 7 is on PC and i don't care what the elite RPGers say about over-ratedness that game complete owns other RPGs maybe because of the storyline IDK.

i LOVED the witcher! completely badass game. great mature story, and not just in the sense that there happens to be a lot of gore, violence and sex... but also interesting characters, thought provoking quests and choices. combat is fun too once you get the hang of it.
AND.. at one point in the story you visit the druids because you are in need of their elemental magic for a quest.. the druids claim it's a difficult spell.. so they send you out to pick "psilocybin mushrooms" from a cave. when you finally return and give the druid the shrooms, he follows you to help you on the quest.
ahh.. just thinking about it makes me want to reinstall it and play.
some of my other favorites would be deus ex, gothic, and morrowind

One of my all time favorites was knights of the old republic. I really enjoyed both of them. Some people don't like it though because some times it is more like watching a movie.
I so need to play Fallout 3. All I hear are awesome things about it.
Unfortunately I don't really have much time for games anymore. I have Spore for the PC right now. Which so far isn't too bad. We will see though.

Knights of the Old Republic is awesome, if you like that you should check out Mass Effect.

Mushroom city? Sounds more like morrowind (telvanni achitecture). Or at least the shivering isles which had giant mushrooms around buildings and in the wild. I reckon oblivion wan't that great to look at and was rather repetitive, but i enjoyed the shivering isles expansion a lot, it had cool design. The fun for me in oblivion was more with other guild quests and random quests than with the actual main quest - The Lost Spires and Malevolent mods/third-party-add-ons made it awesome.

Probably Fallout 3. But most RPGs I played were for SNES, on PC I play strategy more.
