If you want to talk about one of the best RPG series you will for sure mention Neverwinter Nights series from Bioware. Neverwinter is a city in Forgotten Realms world which is heavily based on Dungeons and Dragons RPG system. It is the same world as Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale game series. Neverwinter games will immerse you in their worlds filled with lore and interesting characters. In pt.2 I will talk about Neverwinter Nights 2 and it's two expansions.
Neverwinter Nights 2
Sequel of the beloved franchise looks better and plays better than the old game. Great multi class system returned with more prestige classes to chose from and a brand new Warlock class that flirts with demonic powers. During your travels you can get your own castle which will serve as a base that you can upgrade and start adventures from. Story starts as the small village of West Harbor gets attacked by a figure known as King of Shadows. Your mission is to gather a party before venturing forth and collect pieces of Silver Sword of Gith to beat the Shadow King. Neverwinter Nights 2 is a big game with many areas to explore, game worth your time.
Mask of the Betrayer
First expansion is one of the best RPG expansions that revolves around shard bearer's curse that requires the devouring of spirits to survive. Your quest is to find out more about the curse in new areas of the Forgotten Realms, Rashemen and Thay. Spirit Eating mechanic is what made this game very interesting because your character would have to constantly feed or he would die. Level cap is raised from 20 to 30, so there are many new destructive skills and spells you can use.
Storm of Zehir
Another Great expansion is set in jungles of Chult, part of Faerun filled with wildlife and cults. Game had an emphasis on exploration of the world where finally some skills you would normally skip like survival and detection would matter. It is a non linear open world sandbox approach that was quite different than previous games. Player and his party are the traveling merchants that got themselves in the middle of Yuan Ti conflict, Yuan Ti are serpent like creatures that follow old god Zehir. Establishing trade routes is one of the main game mechanic and by the end you would create your trading empire and stop Yuan Ti plans of conquest.
