It'sa bit different than the mentioned fantasy games, but my favorite game of all times is Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. It has the best writing and really great voice acting and the storyline is great. It is a harror rpg though, so beware of a bit more darker topics. But for me, it's the goto game, when everything else fails.
Depending on which clan you play, the story can unfold a bit differently - especially if you play as Nosferatu or Malkavian (my favorite clan). Those are not recommended for first playthrough though. The game itself is heavily bugged, but there is an unofficial patch out there, that not only eliminated most bugs, but also added restored content, which includes questlines and characters.
More traditionally, I can recommend the Dragon Age series. Dragon Age Origins is generally seen as a masterpiece, DA 2 is a flawed gem, with one of the best protagonists out there, Hawke, and Dragon Age Inquisition is a huge open world game - it is great too, but has some more annoying fetch quests than the other two. My favorite despite its flaws is DA2, I think, I might have played that game nearly as often as Bloodlines.
And I really enjoyed Kingdoms of Amalur, it has a really nice fighting system and I love the artwork.
