Baldurs Gate 1&2 + the addons, Icewind Dale 1&2 + the addons, Planescape torment.
Dragon age origins came close (thats the first one, the second one is crap) to being Baldurs Gate in 3d and without the AD&D 2 rules, but other than that...
Baldurs Gate 1 was my first real RPG (played Diablo before, but that doesn't count imo). Bought it on a whim just cause the box looked good and I had the money. Never regretted that impulsive purchase. I actually had to pirate BG2 because they only released it in my country a few months after it's first release, bought it immediately when it became available. I remember playing that + Throne of Bhall over and over again with various addons. Becoming a god in the end always had a certain appeal to it. The sorceror + robe/hand of vecna, staff of the magi, circlet of non detection, ring of gaxx and a few other items that gave additional spell slots + more protection was my favorite combo. Of course on vanilla this is way overpowered since you just send your projected image + wizards eye, cast time stop, improved alacrity, hit it with spells, cast another time stop before the first one ends, and repeat until your fps drop to 1 or 2. Or you can just let you planetar + mordakinens swords take care of stuff while remaining invisible.
Icewind dale 1 was also great, really pretty graphics, shame the addon changed the character sprites with ones from BG2 which were uglier imo.
Never really liked IWD2.
And Planescape is a work of art on it's own. I still prefer BG2 + ToB but both are great games.
