For me it is Torment: Tides of Numenera for the pre-rendered style, the team, and the Science-Fantasy setting. This one is a dream game for me, I think it will be even better than the original which is a tall order.

I'm a huge Fallout nut, I love post apocalyptic RPGs and stories with a passion.
This is probably the closest we'll get to an oldschool new Fallout.
(not that I have any problem with the Bethesda games, I'm pretty much obsessed with them)
I hear you, I am still playing Skyrim, I did the backer level where you get Wasteland 2 as well as Torment, I enjoyed all of the Fallout games from 1-3. Even had the weird situation of visiting Washington for the first Time after playing Fallout 3, it was like I knew where everything was but I kept looking for mutants everywhere

Considering the success of X-COM, I think there's some hope of an official old school Fallout.
Don't go excpecting it.
By all love of InXile, their current model is having shitloads of (quite different) writers and most (nearly all) of them being external. Hell, even Colin is an external contributor.
So, be aware what you're gonna get could be quite uneven in quality. Thankfully they got Kevin Saunders as Project Director and he's really awesome at it.
Most excited
Project Eternity
Excited!
Divinity: Original Sin (crept up there in recent weeks)
Torment
Wasteland 2
Age of Decadence
Dead State
Might and Magic X
Might have forgotten a few.

Hopefully if Wasteland 2 is a major success (probably will not be enough to be considered a success by bigger companies but hey, what the hell, heres hoping) Bethesda will think about putting together that kind of spinoff series.
I love Obsidian's work on Fallout and I want to see them do it again but I would like to see them do something different from the main games to give theirs more of a different feel, scratch a different sort of Fallout itch.
Luckily the setting (Numenera) helps with the different writing styles as there are been many civilizations that have risen and fallen. Also the enclaves of humanity that are scattered and bit of technology left behind by them are not necessarily, consistent either. We shall see, Project Eternity certainly looks like a winner as well, I slacker backed it, so I hope it is great.

I am actually kinda surprised that a lot of projects haven't piggy backed off of X-com's engine. The quality of the turn based structure(fast, fluid, easy to control, without sacrificing many deep and interesting mechanics) that they did was pretty amazing, especially considering the state of tactical turn based games.
That being said, i am most excited for the D&D 4th edition tactical RPG that is never going to get made because WotC are geese. Sometimes i feel like i should magic myself into producing in order to get this shit made.
Edit: As for an actual game getting made, Might and Magic X. It looks pretty good and I have been jonsing for a modern first person party RPG's since i first played Wizardry 8 in 2001 [Wizardry 8 is god damned amazing by the way and if you can somehow find it you should play it]
I want to be excited for Might and Magic X but Ubisoft's treatment of the franchise has been pretty poor.
I really want someone to do a big budget remake of Spiderweb Software's Geneforge series.
Though I have to say, that first Project Eternity demo got me pretty interested. I just hope those guys will be able to hammer out a complete game in the time they've given themselves.
Oh, and Cyberpunk, but it's hard to get that excited about it being so far off (2015
World of Darkness MMO: Im old enough to know better, but I still hold out hope it will live up to my ridiculous high expectations.
At least ZRPG kickstartered so they finally have some people actually working on it
but why isn't there any isometric view point CRPG using IOS or Droid?
I would imagine that the touchbase interface would be perfect for these games.
In fact, a lot of games would be great for mobile devices. Not just RPG's like Fallout or Final Fantasy but also other turn based games like Civilization, Heroes of Might and Magic, King's Bounty, etc.
Shadowrun Returns

With no Culdcept in the 3ds, SMT IV is the reason I am buying one.

I haven't tried BGEE yet, but avadon (and by extension the other spiderweb games) are really too fiddly to be done well with touch, at least at that resolution
Wasteland 2
Might and Magic X
Dead State
Etrian Odyssey 4 (yeah, I'm in Europe)
SMT 4
Very excited with reservations:
Grimoire - if it is released bug free
Age of Decadence - if it's released...
Chaos Chronicles - track record of devs is not inspiring... but nor is MMX I guess
Quite excited:
Legend of Grimrock 2
Project Eternity
Divinity OS
Torment
All in all, the biggest problem I have over the next couple of years is having a job, wife and kids.
Maybe it is size, people still like to download games under 1 gigabyte on mobile, or maybe just perception of developers that they wouldn't do that well. Baldur's Gate is doing fine so hopefully that will change soon. My game uses a more early Ultima style, probably for the reason a lot of devs don't do pre-rendered it takes a lot of work and time and is tough to justify for mobile. Heck until these Kickstarters it was hard to justify on the PC.
Major shout out for Wizardry 8, Cyberpunk, and Shadowrun Returns as Well!!!

The lead writer of the game basically tried to start this since he began working at Ubisoft.
Edit: Also I should update the OP.
The Realms of Arkania HD Remake got some new (promising) screenshots

Holy shit it just occurred to me how amazing Fallout 1&2 would be on iPad.

I'm REALLY excited for DA3. I'm a rare beast that though DA2 was flawed but great and adored 1. Can't wait to see how they process the feedback from 1&2.

And I'm relaly anticipating Project Eternity. Enough that I already paid for the game, and how.
