Dark Souls

2 points:

Crusader Kings 2 (Very much a strategy game, but it is the definition of emergent C&C and roleplaying -- worth a look for anyone really).
Arcanum of Steamworks and Magicka Obscura
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer (don't you dare count this as a point for the entirety of NwN2, MoTB is notable precisely because I dislike Nwn2 in general)
Planescape: Torment
Drakensang River of Time
Blackguards (Unreleased, but I've seen enough already)
Dragon Age: Origins
Fallout
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines.

Note that these are personal favourites only. I'm trying to avoid a massive list and spreading my votes too thin. There are probably games I would acknowledge as better CRPGs than what's on this list; I don't care.

...and you should have gone with my suggested system. This one penalises games where the voter has played a lot of titles (if you're looking at averages) or if you're doing a cumulative system it still favours popular games over older titles that less people have played.
