I'm a sucker for escapism. Games that take up a lot of my time and give me an illusion of freedom, control and progress, that I feel I lack in reality, are right up my alley. Having said that - I haven't played too many RPGs, partly because I'm usually initially put off by fantasy genre conventions and/or gimmicky, over-complicated GUIs, and partly because once I do get into one, I can spend months playing it almost exclusively. Also - I never even finished many of my favorite RPGs, especially the ones with sandbox-style worlds, like Skyrim. I usually just f*ck around and grind, doing anything and everything but the main quests, until I get bored, or hit a spell of depression and stop playing altogether.
Some of RPGs I have fond memories of are:
Knights Of Xentar
Shadowrun - the one on Sega Genesis
Vagrant Story
Fallout 1, 2, 3 and New Vegas
Final Fantasy VII, IX... and I guess X and XII
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Skyrim, especially the latter
DC Universe Online (MMORPG)
Dark Souls 1 and 2
Mass Effect, as well as Fable 2 and 3 probably also deserve a mention
