I have limited experience in CRPGs (and computer games in general). Most games I bought have been disappointing, especailly of the RPG variety. However, I've been enjoyinging IWD the most so far, though the plot is indeed linear and the characters are fairly flat (then again, aren't we all). Some of the less remarkable games I played, or just started playing, are Soulbringer, Darkstone, Diablo, Diablo2, Fallout 1 and 2 (these looked like they could be good, though I wasn't interested enough at the time to keep playing), and some for the SNES (the best being Seventh Saga). I recently bought Planscape Torment on recomendation for its storyline, and I just played the first area. I'm saving the rest for after IWD. It looks like it could either be better than IWD or fairly confusing.
Aside from RPGs, one game that I think is quite remarkable is American McGee's Alice. The visuals are very interesting, sometimes sadistic or twisted.
