I am looking for a RPG along the lines of Morrowind. I like a open world, lots of loot, the chance to build a central base/stronghold to keep my loot in. I am open to either Fantasy or Sci Fi based story line.
I have Oblivion but could not get into the game at all. Never finished it. I am considering Skyrim and the other Elder Scroll releases since Oblivion. Are these worth the money? Any other RPG's that might be what I am looking for?

NovusBogus wrote:That...seems oddly accurate...Borderlands is really good especially if you like loot--the weapons and whatnot are procedurally generated so there's an almost unlimited number of things you can find. It's a funny and highly stylized shooter, like if Quentin Tarantino made a Fallout game.
Sucks that Darksiders is basically gone now that THQ is toast, but Volition will continue on, and I'd say they deserve it after Saints Row 3. Basically they took all the fun stuff out of GTA and ran with it, so while GTAIV was busy being all dark and serious, the Saints were running around being all sorts of ridiculous. <3I got Saints Row 3 in the THQ bundle and didn't think I'd like it as gangster games are not my thing, but it's so egregiously over the top I wound up having a ball. Not really an RPG but it's got that GTA/TES type open world with lots of random stuff to do, and due to the THQ situation it's not hard to find it on sale for next to nothing.

I lost interest in Fallout 3 when I found the naughty nightwear. Decided it was a good place to quit that game session. Then just never really wanted to go back.

I'd missed the room and ended up spending a lot of time scouring those stupid tunnels. When I got back to the surface right after that, I just didn't feel like humping it back over the map again.dmjifn wrote:That's an... odd... reason.I lost interest in Fallout 3 when I found the naughty nightwear.

I mean come on guys, I love SR3, but he DID ask for RPGs... (ノдヽ)

It really just depends on which elements you want to get the most out of. If you want a huge world where you can find hundreds of lore rabbit holes, SR3 is probably not a good choice. If you mainly want some leveling with customization, SR3 is better. All based on what you need.Geez, no recommendations for Japanese games?!ヽ(゚Д゚)ノ And a bunch of recommendations for games that aren't RPGs in even the broadest sense...
