A few more titles.
Either Heavy Rain or The Walking Dead deserve inclusion. Both are immersive, emotional games that encourage the player to make choices and live with them. Quitting and reloading for a better outcome is the antithesis of what these games are all about, and that's novel for interactive story titles like these. There's no "Whoops, that wasn't the right thing to do. Let's re-do that." These are games that are even entertaining to watch someone else play just to see how their story diverges from yours.
Planescape: Torment could easily unseat SW:KotoR from its spot on the list. I haven't played an RPG that I would place above it.
