I would recommend the game called "Jade Empire: Special Edition". It is older, but one of the best RPG games I've played. I believe it was the best RPG on Xbox. "Special Edition" is PC only.

 

From newer titles I would say "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" played in 3rd person view would count too.

I remember Gears of War 1 on the PC was great.

This, as well as the Mass Effect series were outstanding. Might I mention one old 3rd parson game that I find is still as fun as when I first played it years back.....Enclave.

Mafia 2

Witcher 2

Just Cause 2

 

Those are great games.

 

Definitely try out witcher 2, it's challenging, immersive, has a great story line and it's what I call a real RPG game, because all the choices you make matter a LOT (you literally get to spend 1/3 of the game in an entirely different area with a completely different story and characters based on a few choices). If that doesn't win you over how about this: all DLCs are free :O.
