Mass Effect series.
Neverwinter Nights...
(notice a Bioware theme here...) - Pretty much any game they've developed is top notch in terms of RPG quality.
If you quit at FF3... well, pick the series back up and play FF7. FF9 apparently is very good (just got it off kijiji and plan to play it soon). 10 is pretty decent, but not amazing. X-2 is a waste of money - I turned it off after 10 minutes. It was that terrible.
Never got into 12... 13 I got 20 hours in and stopped playing. So linear... Might pick it up again when I'm in a better mood.
Suikoden - Awesome series - Suikoden I & III are very very good games.
Baldur's Gate II might be the greatest RPG ever invented. I didn't get into #1, but BG 2 + expansion was nothing short of epic.
Oblivion and Fallout 3 were kind of overrated IMHO - but worth tested out. I wasn't a huge fan of the FPS RPG (I like the party systems and deep character interaction in RPGs).
That's just off the top of my head for things you'd like.

Good post!
BG2 & BG2: ToB is seriously the pinnacle of RPGs. BG1 was great too but BG2 was perfection.
Bioware calls Dragon Age: Origins the spiritual successor to BG2. It's not without its flaws but it's got easily the best combat of any RPG I've ever played, and is easily one of the best RPGs of the last 5 years, IMO.
I'd skip KOTOR2. The first was great, the second was a disaster, IMO. Great gameplay but it's just so obvious they never finished the story.
