I'm a huge fan of Baldur's Gate 1 & 2. In my eyes, they set the highwater marks for the computer RPGs that followed, and I'm not sure if any have ever hit the mark. To see talent moving from computer games to RPGs is exciting.

BG was pretty quickly surpassed in my eyes when Arcanum came out, but that's probably just my bias for steampunk talking.
