I Love BGM and OST's for games, they make some of the most beautiful orchestral music ever, I just want some suggestions to the good ones. I currently have all Blizzard OST's and BGMs, as well as all Halo OSTs. I'm kind of lost for more maybe the Elder Scrolls OST's? Zelda? something epic and soothing, sometimes powerful and fast as well anything is appreciated.

I'm a huge coin-uh-sur for game OST's. Here are some of my recommendations:
The Orange Box:
Lots of percussive and driven as well as ambient tracks. Especially the Portal tracks and Half Life's Episode 1.
Mass Effect 1 and 2:
Awesome rich textured songs with strong themes. ME2's tracks for Jacob, Thane, and Legion are awesome for long hikes!
Thief: Deadly Shadows:
Minimalism perfected! I love this soundtrack for its sheer ambiance. There is little going on in this music and that's what I love about it. It's the perfect background music for just chilling out in your room while you're doing other things.
Fallout:
The original Fallout soundtrack is amazing. Most video game soundtracks from this era I've noticed have like 50 second long songs which is annoying but this one has average length tracks that are great in succession of each other or even just to play on a loop. This music is also good for hiking or chilling out in your room late at night. I even play this music for other games as well.
Fable:
Whatever I may have to say about this game, the music for it is really great. Kind of a nice winter soundtrack. Or fall....it could be a fall soundtrack too.
If I may recommend some other various soundtracks from tv and movies:
Battlestar Galactica, Moon, There Will be Blood, Norwegian Wood, Death Note
I'm a big fan of game soundtracks as well and I certainly love the Zelda series so I'd recommend that. The Zelda music in general has a bit more "arcady-ish" feeling rather than epic though. Usually short memorable strings of melody arranged into awesomeness.
Some of my personal favorite tracks: Ocean Theme - Wind Waker OST : You hear it all the time in the game yet I never grew tired of it.
Forgot to mention the MGS series, absolutely adored this game and its music. I feel like games with poor soundtracks don't play as well the music really sets an atmosphere that makes the game just so much more epic and better.

There's a lot more, I just don't quite have the time to name them all right now.
Some of my personal favorite tracks:
Ocean Theme - Wind Waker OST : You hear it all the time in the game yet I never grew tired of it.
Dragon Roost Island - Wind Waker OST : Awesome tune, just ups your mood!
Hyrule Field - Ocarina of Time: Symphony version is great, very relaxing yet exiting track.
Gerudo Valley - Ocarine of Time : Probably my fav tune from OoT. Symphony version as well as the originalis just great. Epic.
And last but not least, a retro pearl:
Dark World - A Link to the Past: The original has its awesome charm and the orchestrated version is just epic.
Enjoy.
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell. Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell...
