    The Tales games are amazing. Specifically Symphonia and Abyss for me.

    A lot of (great) games are already listed here, but i can give a few more names of RPG's.

    First off: get a SNES and PSX emulator and play all the RPG's, they are amazing. There are so many amazing RPG's on the SNES, i must have played most of them.

    But for PC:

    Silverfall - not really good but i guess you can give it a try.

    Ys Origin - used to be unavailable on PC but is now out on PC, supposed to be a great RPG but i haven't played it a lot.

    Dungeons of Dredmor - pretty awesome indie rogue-like game.

    E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy - Many different opinions floating around about this one, it's a bit amateurish and doesn't suit everyones taste but maybe you'll like it.

    Krater - New game, supposedly gets boring quickly.

    Legend Of Grimrock - Old school dungeon crawler RPG, has good reviews.

    Nox - Used to love this as a kid.

    Avadon the Black Fortress - New indie old-school RPG.

    The Temple Of Elemental Evil - Great D&D game.

    This is just what i can find on my computer, I've played all of these, although some only for an hour or so.

    I recommend The Witcher 1 and 2. European developers are more than just catching up, they are tramping down many western and eastern developers, who like SquareEnix seem to have run put of good ideas, or Bioware who seem to have sold out. The Witcher 2 has the Best story and graphics of Rpgs toddy. Either that or SKYRIM.

    Even though these games are mainly on the PS2, PS1, and PSP. I'd recommend the Shin Megami Tensei games, mainly Persona, Digital Devil Saga, and Nocturne. If you haven't heard of the series then think, Final Fantasy meets demons and current day setting, without the stereotypical, melodramatic characters and whatnot that plague the FF games. The story, characters, battle system, music, art style, and voice acting in the Shin Megami Tensei games are absolutely superb. If I had to choose the best game in the franchise to start off at it'd have to be Persona 4, the story is about a murder mystery in a small town, and the plot and characters develop in incredible ways. If you end up playing and enjoying Persona 4 then definitely check out the other games in the series. I don't wanna keep dragging on about how great they are so really check them out if you're interested, they are JRPG's though and at some points they can be quite challenging, though I enjoy harder games so It was fine for me, just thought I should mention that. Don't know about emulation though so I might be typing all this for nothing lol.

    I would recommend Dark Souls (its out on PC now). Fantastic RPG with one of the best combat systems ever and excellent PvP.
