Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura for PC. Old game, but worth it if you can find it.
Some FF games.
I played Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky on Steam last year. Very nice game, though the protagonist starts as a real bitch in the beginning. She gets better, though. There's a cliffhanger in the end that leads to a sequel that I don't think has come out yet.

It's not exactly RP in the same way, but I'd say the early Fallout games are pretty immersive and paint an alternative reality well enough.

I'm still a big fan of the original Neverwinter Nights games, especially the Hordes of the Underdark sequel-pack.
Love me some Deekin, the little kobold Bard!
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

Funny you mentioned that, yesterday I installed a pipboy live wallpaper on my adroid phone.

It depends, there are 3 kinds of fantasy RP games I play:
Single player computer
Multiplayer (or MMO) computer
Tabletop
Which one do you mean? For tabletop, I think classic D&D is still one of the best, but Vampire: the Masquerade is my second fav. I used to play Warhammer 40k, but it's been a while. I don't even know the ratings on any of these games. :p
For single player computer, of course Skyrim, Oblivion, etc. I'm a HUGE fan of the old Baulders Gate, but that's probably too ancient.
For MMO's, I'm currently playing and enjoying ESO. It's got a great storyline, and tons of details. But for immersion, nothing has gotten me like Secret World. Ok, that's more horror/sci-fi than fantasy, but is one of the most immersive games I've ever played. That one is M for sure. Dang.
This is harder than I thought it would be! So many games are M.
