'3d' you mean 'uses polygons', right? I mean, an '80s style first-person dungeon-crawler wouldn't count?
What about MMOs though...
Best 3d WRPG? Hmm... I don't know about scores, but that is hard... um... these come to mind as being th4e best ones I can think of at the moment that I have played...
-Neverwinter Nights 2 - Probably the best 3d WRPG overall, especially if you count its expansion packs as well.
-Wizards & Warriors - Yeah, I love that game... seriously lacking polish, but it has some of the best dungeons ever.
-Drakensang - Linear? Sure. But it's a really good game.
-Guild Wars - No, it's not an MMO. :) (Though the sequel will be)
-Betrayal at Krondor - Hey, the overworld is polygonal! A true classic too... quite difficult though.
Other decent to good ones that I have played at least some of: Neverwinter Nights (2002), Dungeon Lords, Knights of the Old Republic
I have Jade Empire, but haven't actually started it yet. Similar for Mass Effect, I'm like half an hour in so I can't really say anything. :)
Dungeon Siege gets boring very quickly, it'd be near the bottom of my list, major titles wise.
The Elder Scrolls series, all four of them... I don't find them that fun, but they are impressive in their scale and scope, so it's tough for me to score them -- do I rank them somewhat low, to reflect what I personally think of them, or midrange at least, to reflect the impressive nature of the world-building in the titles?
