Recommend me a good RPG

[Spawny0908]

Lately I've been feeling like a good RPG but I haven't been able to think of any that interest me. So I come to you guys for help any thoughts? I prefer western RPG's but I'm open (and desperate enough) to try a JRPG. I have both a PS3 and a 360. Please no PC suggestions because my PC sucks. Thanks!

Planescape: Torment, it's from 1999, so your PC would most assuredly be fine.

The RPGs that first came to mind when I read the title are listed below. ^_^

- Any of the Elder Scrolls games.
- Fallout 3.
- Any of the Fable games.
- Dragon Age: Origins.

Edit: I forgot Neverwinter Nights. D:

It'd be helpful if you'd list ones you have already played.

- Elder's Scrolls 4
- Fallout 3 and/or New Vegas
(I'm not personally a huge fan of these games, but a lot of people are)
- Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2
- Mass Effect 1 and 2
- Demon's Souls
(Haven't played DS myself, but it's an action-RPG with a big fanbase. Apparently, it's really hard.)

Also, Witcher 2 is coming to the Xbox, that's a must-buy.

I would have to recommend Two Worlds 2 as well. Although it wasn't perfect, it had a lot to offer and had a huge world to explore, similar to Oblivion in style.

-KOTOR
-Jade Empire
-Neverwinter Nights 2
- Witcher

all of them bar neverwinter nights are on xbox, and its graphic requirements are low so should be ok on your pc.

I know you said no PC games but if it's only specs that are stopping you, rather than a console preference

Get Baldur's Gate 1 2 and both expansions

For console.
Mass Effect Series
Dragon Age Series
Fallout 3: GOTY (Can't seak for NV as I didn't pick it up)
Oblivion: GOTY
Fable 1 (will work on a 360 with a downloadable patch which auto detects when you start the game just like updates)
Jade Empire (Same deal as Fable)
Borderlands it's an FPSRPG and good if you're into Item based RPG's rather than actual Role playing (A la Diablo and WoW)


I didn't actually like Oblivion and Fallout 3 but millions of people do. They're good games I admit it, and I don't even know why I don't like them, but I just don't. Although I managed to put over 40 hours into both, so they can't be all that bad.

EDIT: Don't believe the lies about the newer fable games. They are actually quite poorly made and the frustration arising from silly shit (getting stuck indoors because a villager won't move even if you cast a fireball at them) makes me stop playing them every time I decide to give them another go. Fable 3 is buggy as shit also, you can get stuck underwater, Jasper goes mute sometimes. It's all bad.

EDIT EDIT: Demon's Souls. I forgot it because I don't have a PS3 atm and therefore haven't played it in ages. But it is quite good.

For PS3 or 360 huh?

Mass Effect 1&2(360)
Witcher 2(360) when it comes out
Borderlands(360)

Honestly, you need a PS2. I could give you 8,000 RPG's for PS2.

I know it's already been recommended, but try Neverwinter Nights 2. It's 20$ and while the main plot is rather cliched, the characters are fun and it's a pretty complex RPG. The real reason I'd buy is the expansion, Mask of the Betrayer. It has one of the best stories in any RPG I've ever played.
