Well I think the Witcher was pretty good, but by no means the best RPG ever.
For me, this title goes without debate to Wizardry 8. It has the most perfect skillsystem in any RPG (a mixture of level-ups and learning-by-doing, but without the exploitation problems of Bethesda's games), it has a HUGE amount of classes, a very good combat system (the only problem whatsoever was the somewhat tricky issue of aiming spells since you never know your initiative for sure) and it has 100% gameplay, no cutscenes, no interruptions etc.
The balancing was also very good, difficult, but doable.
It was basically an open-world and you could do whatever you want, like in Bethesda's games.
Then it has random enemy encounters, so no game was the same, which led to incredible replayability.
Last but not least it has quite decent graphics (of course outdated today) and still runs on Vista without any compatibility issues.
