I second Mass Effect and Drain Age: Origins, but I'd actually recommend Torchlight II over Diablo II now days.

It's possibly not the type of RPG you mean but I play EVE off-and-on, when there's people I know also playing. (EVE's not very kind to new people though.)

While Torchlight might be a better game overall, I think the comparative simplicity of Diablo II makes it a better beginner game. It's been a while since I've played both, but I'm pretty sure there's a ton more visual input during fights in Torchlight II, which might be a bit much to a fresh gamer. Also more skills, more gem combination, etc. Though it might be that Torchlight is more engaging.

If there's time, try both!

Masterpiece:
The only RPG I liked was Bastion.
Because I could not find anything in that game I didn't like.

ackblom12:
The reason I would suggest Torchlight II over Diablo II actually has to do with how hard it is to build a bad character, as well as the much more forgiving difficulty options.

I'm not sure I'd call Bastion an RPG, but it's definitely got some light RPG mechanics.
