Oblivion.
Seldom have I seen a game much more hyped than this game. Sadly, all the hype turned out the air, fluff, and more air, and certain not the icing of the cake, it was the cake!
No games deserves a 98% or a 94% --- and no game is actually that good that it
deserves 90+ ratings from all over the (major) gaming sites. Personally, I think Oblivion is good game, but I don't happen to think that its the bestest game evar nor that it is an rpg. [It is more of an action/adventure/exploring game with some rpg elements thrown in, imo...].
ETA:
As for BG1 and BG2, I have to say that I liked BG1 much better than BG2, simply because of the political elements in the story arc (or narrative).
And that during the game's narrative structure you, or rather your character, dioscovers your true heritage. [Which sort of is a loaned, borrowed or stolen thing from the Greek myths like the Myth of Perseus or Heracles or Jason and the Argonauts].
BG2 is a good game, too, but the only motivation you have for going after the main villain is that he somehow has strayed from a certain race's virtues.
There is no, irrc, no real info as to why he has done this: It is, iirc, only presented as if he, and only he, is the Evil one, because his morals are wrong.
I also miss the beautifully outdoor areas in BG1 when playing BG2.
