Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but one of BioWare's earlier games is a favorite of mine, namely Jade Empire. The story was compelling, the characters were fairly unique and usually pretty funny (Black Whirlwind and Henpecked Hou were my favorites), the setting and lore were both interesting and topical (the invasion of Tibet by the PRC being a fairly obvious reference/influence), combat was exciting and interesting, and for a game of that time period (it was original XBox), it looked really good. Oh, and John Cleese. John Freaking Cleese, as Sir Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom the Magnificent Bastard. 'Nuff said.

At this point I know it's probably not that likely, but I'm one of those folks who still holds out hope for a Jade Empire 2.
