I third that! B)
KOTOR is perhaps the best story-based RPG after Planescape:Torment.
A lot of replay value, and some of the most ingenious NPC dialogue ever.
Only Neverwinter Nights has lasted longer for me recently.
Another alternative on one condition is Battle for Middle Earth. That condition being you being a fan of LOTR books and especially the movies. As a real-time strategy game, there are certainly better ones, more balanced ones, ones with better tech trees and more variation and abilities of units.
But NOTHING beats riding 6 battalions of Rohirrim along the archer-filled walls of Minas Tirith, trampling dozens of orcs underfoot, with the sound of the hooves booming from subwoofer and original LOTR movie soundtrack from speakers...
Tolkien heaven! :rolleyes:

With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince...
With science, you can turn a frog into a Ph.D. ...
and still keep the frog you started with.
