While I also liked NWN, I'd be hesitant to call it one of the best games ever. I can think of several RPGs alone that I'd rank higher than NWN (Torment, Fallout 1/2, KotOR, Baldur's Gate 1/2). NWN was pretty good, but not in that weight class, at least in my opinion.
I find myself agreeing with you on NWN's drawbacks. I played through as a single-classed Paladin as well, and ended up with something like 6 or 7 Bags of Holding full of Heal potions. I even used Linu for most of the game. And the end was terribly anticlimactic for me, at level 19.
That's always bugged me, too. Whenever people talk about NWN, it seems like everyone ends the OC at around level 16 or 17. I have no idea how I made level 19 (and only a few thousand experience from 20, if memory serves) in the same span.
Now I wish I could play through it again. :P
EDIT: Wow, I forgot Morrowind! And Deus Ex isn't quite an RPG, but yeah, it's up there.
