You have the freedom of being able to just prance around and do your own thing. I personally can't wait until the new Elder Scrolls game comes out (I hope they are going to have another one). I do hope to god that they improve their combat system a bit though.

Oblivion would also rank as my favorite RPG game, played on the PC of course. I must have put a solid 200 hours into it; of course it helped that I was unemployed at the time.

The main reason is the graphics were top notch which in turn made it easily the most immersive game I've ever played. The combat system was good, as was the story. My main beef with the game was the dynamic difficulty scaling which is why I played it through with Obscuro's mod.

I look forward to revisiting this game in a year or two and seeing what the community has created in the way of mods for it. The last time I looked it was already a huge list.

My 2nd and 3rd favorite games would be a tie between The Witcher and Knights of the Old Republic. The Witcher has top notch graphics, a good story, and the part I like the best is the fact that some decisions you need to make actually mean something. KOTR had solid game play in the Star Wars universe and of course Bioware's excellent story telling.
