diablo 2 is incredible, nothing is more intense than uber tristram runs. I'd put demon's souls at #2 on that list as it's my favorite console arpg on that list. But I'd probably say muramasa: the demon blade is my favorite or close to it.
Are we talking of all time? Hm. Morrowind takes the cake for "Played So Much, it Should be the One You Pick", but then again... hm... Can I consider Planescape Torment an action RPG? Because then I have to pick that, or be punished for my heresy.

So is Morrowind an action-adventure? Or a straight WRPG? Because I know it's not the latter.

Neither Morrowind or Planescape Torment are action RPGs. What? Action RPG is EXACTLY what Morrowind is :? Planescape I only brought up because one could possible see it as an action RPG, from a certain point of view.

Neither Morrowind or Planescape Torment are action RPGs. So is Morrowind an action-adventure? Or a straight WRPG? Because I know it's not the latter. Just a straight WRPG. The primary focus of action RPGs is... well... action. Morrowind's primary focus is exploration. In fact, I hesitate to call Fallout 3 and Oblivion action RPGs too, though their combat more resembles action RPGs.

I just think of an action-RPG as any RPG with actiony combat. That's why I initially thought of Morrowind, but your explanation makes some sense.
Or does it? :o
Thats the litteral deffinition. But I think in reality most people here consider an action RPG to be an RPG thats about combat and character upgrades over story and diologue.
Which is why the classic deffinition of an Action RPG is Diablo, which is all about upgrading your character, and has no diologue or choices in it (though the story itself is pretty good)

I edited the first part out, because I realized Diablo 2 had combat heavily based on dice rolls, but it's totally an action RPG. :P The 2nd point stands strong though. 8)

Oh god, the Witcher had some of the worst combat I've ever experienced. >.> Well to be fair I didn't play to many Action RPGs this gen besides that one, FallOut 3, Mass Effect 1,2, Demon Souls (which I didn't give a chance to say anything about the gameplay)

edit: It wasn't that bad just really darn simple
I just couldn't stand it. It was more simple than Fable's combat, and that's not a good sign. :P I want to give the game another chance though (I only got a couple hours into it). Maybe I won't hate it as much the 2nd time.
Of those choices, I guess Mass Effect. Fallout 3 was fun too. Oblivion was too boring. Played it about 100 hours and just quit. Demon's Souls wasn't interesting enough, so I Goozex'd it.
Tales of Symphonia. That game was pure magic. Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Vesperia were stellar as well. Tales of Eternia is also quite good, but I have yet to finish it.
Lol, you list Diablo 2 which isn't even out yet. I still think it'll be a dope game of course!
The first game that comes to mind is Demon's Souls :D. I played well over 100 hours until my 40GB PS3 died :(. Then I let my cousin borrow it--chump still has it!
EDIT: :| I'm a fool, I got Diablo 2 mixed up with 3 lol.

Basically the Tales of series :P

Tales of Symphonia is classic :D. "I am, Rodyle!" and "Colette!" are memorable quotes for me... love that game. I never beat it though, it's long as hell too.
