I wonder if Dead State will hit the digital shelves in 2012? If so then that might be GotY for me. That or Risen 2 is looking like the sure bets for me.
I'll be looking forward to the new Avernum for the pc, KoA, Grim, and Risen 2….the people that made this list have a lot to learn about "good" crpg's. I, for one, totally expect ME3 to blow, and not in a good way. I mean, Risen 2 gets an honorable mention?!?! W T F!

I have a sneaking suspicion the South Park game might take RPG of the Year.
Risen 2, but I am apparently one of the few who isn't particularly interested in pirates. Another vote for Eschalon Book 3 and Avernum: Escape from the Pit. Also I loved ME2 whether it was a good RPG or not, so ME3 is on my short list.
I'm expecting to see ME3 at like 50% off or more within a week or 2 of launch. Colour me amazed if this doesn't happen.
