I keep hearing about Wizardry 8, though I haven't played it yet. I keep hearing that it was the last great old-fashioned CRPG. I have it on my list to play. I really enjoyed the first Wizardry, though never completed it. I'd also like to play the World of Xeen at some point.

One downside of CRPGs of course is how long they take to complete. I don't really want to make that huge of an investment unless I know it's worth it (i.e., I'd rather play the finest classics first). If you're going to spend that much time with a game, you want only the best. Even mild irritations in the interface can become so irksome it's difficult to deal with. I know I almost quit KOTOR a few times because of the constant crashing (and yes, I know some people had no issues with it).

I agree about Dragon Age, too. At first I was sold, but gradually lost interest. The battles wouldn't have been so bad, but something about the interface and timing made them too difficult. I felt like I was fighting more with the camera and controls than the actual monsters! That's a game that would have seriously benefited from a true turn-based tactical battle mode. The inventory system was a pain as well.

I absolutely adore the Mass Effect series. It's a different kind of fun than something like Baldur's Gate or KOTOR, but still sooo immersive.

The MMOs are definitely more addictive for me, but they just can't compare in some ways. Particularly when it comes to characters and stories.
