My favorites are the Elder Scrolls, and the best Skyrim. My favorite RPGs are open worlds. Arena is a good dungeon crawler from it's time, but not my style. I love the idea of Daggerfall but it is too flawed. However it created the great lore of the series. Morrowin is very good; but the writing in Skyrim is richer and more real.

Another open world game I loved is Darklands. The historical setting and realism are exactly the kind of stuff I prefer. Many people are put off by the difficult grinding.

In a completely different fantasy world, Faery Tale Adventure II is a very good game. Unfortunately story and lore was supposed to be one of the strongest features but it was left unfinished.

Baldur's gate deserves to be played more and more recently than I have. What I didn't like was the fabled Infinity Engine where the characters couldn't move in a group without getting stuck. And the fact that it's a D&D game, which means unrealistic cliche setting, and overpowered magic.
