Morrowind will keep you busy for a long time. Longer than any other games probably.

What kind of games do you like in general? If you're into strategy or adventure games, you might prefer point & click and/or party-based stuff like Baldur's Gate 1/2, Fallout 1/2, Planescape:Torment, Neverwinter Nights.
If you're more into FPS and action games, I'd go for something like Arx Fatalis, Deus Ex, Gothic 1/2, or System Shock 2 (SS2 is more action than RPG, but excellent nonetheless).
If you're after a good story above all, Planescape is probably the best bet IMO. My personal favourite RPGs are Ultima Underworld 1 and 2... these are old DOS games, but they can be made to run in Win9x/XP quite easily. Well worth a look if you don't mind old-fashioned graphics. |

I would play Arx, then G1 and G2, then Neverwinter. That should take you about a year.

The poor guy said he's off from school! That will take him a month. Maybe two.

Not if he plays like I do. I do tend to die more times than a 66 ford.

In April I'll have been out of school for a year. I'm sorry, DarkWeaver, but there is NO game that will fill the sea of time you are swimming in! NONE!!!
I was going to explain some difficulties I had with staying occupied but I figured you'd all just think I was crazy...

He meant what kind of RPGs you like to play. We could list 50 good RPGs but half of them probably wouldn´t fit your taste.

 I didn't really take that part in... out of school for a year, with nowt better to do than play videogames? There was none o' that when I were a lad! We had to go to school from 6am til 10pm every day (except sunday, when we had to scrub t' swimmin' pool wi' a pipecleaner), without a single day off til we were twenty-eight, and we'd be caned accross the teeth 60 times for each minute we were late... and t' headmaster had hounds trained to gnaw on our thumbs if we even mentioned a videogame.
Ahem. Perhaps I'm exaggerating slightly. (For true tales of hardship, check out Monty Python's Four Yorkshiremen sketch - the link seems a bit slow).
DarkWeaver, just out of curiosity, what is your favourite RPG? |

By "he" do you mean me? If so, I actually did mean any type of game... I wanted to get a broad picture in case DarkWeaver hadn't played many RPGs (couldn't really tell from the first post).

Well, I guess that's Morrowind, Arx and Deus Ex out of the question. And System Shock 2.  Of the rest, I reckon Planescape:Torment is the best, Fallout's great too, Neverwinter Nights will be good if you want to do some multiplayer or modding (not too sure about the official singleplayer campaign, but I know it has some interesting free downloadable modules, like Witch's Wake and some Ultima remakes). |

Find a job, it will take far more time than any RPG you can find. |
