I discovered I love RPG when I first played Adventure on Atari 2600 back in the 1980s (I don't remember the exact year). I know it isn't a RPG but the question is asking when I first discovered I loved RPGs.
Now, as for my 1st RPG played, and taking into consideration I skipped the C64/Amiga/TRS era (I even barely played Famicom/NES, since I didn't have one), it was probably the first Ultima Underworld. A hell of a game for its time: automapping, you could make annotations and immersive graphics.
Since then many more RPGs came: Diablo, Fallout 1, Fallout 2, System Shock 2, IWD, BG 2, PS:T, Deus Ex, ….
