High fantasy interactive fiction - an IFDB Poll

My favorite genre of fiction, interactive or otherwise, is high fantasy -- the genre of such epic series of novels as The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien and The Wheel of Time by Jordan. I'm especially interested in games with an alternate world separate from ours, with its own made-up cultures and mythology (preferably serious).
