I'm positively aching for a good RPG to sink my teeth into.

But my PC, the Valhalla of RPGs, has gone to its own Valhalla, and at the moment, I ain't got the cash for a new one. So for my computering business I'm making do with this old laptop that doesn't even have a soundcard.

So it's up to good old Xbox360.
I've already beaten Borderlands, Mass Effect 1 and 2, as well as Dragon Age (along with the abysmal Awakening).
I can't stand Oblivion and Fallout 3, I really don't, and I've given them lots of chances.
I've also enjoyed, and beaten, Eternal Sonata and Lost Odyssey, but I'd prefer a WRPG anyway at the moment, if at all possible.

So, any suggestions? Because as far as I can see, Xbox seems to be a bit of an RPG-wasteland.

Also, for the Captcha, I have to type "Knortz". I like it, and am considering this for my firstborn's name.

EDIT: I forgot to mention original Xbox titles. KotOR 1 and 2, and Jade Empire have also already been beaten ;). Gladius is alas not compatible. Thank anyway. :)
EDITED again for forgetting to mention Borderlands.

Arcania Gothic 4 has gotten some decent reviews. Won't know for sure til I get my chores done though :(

Fallout: New Vegas It's better than Fallout 3 or Oblivion, although it plays similarly to Fallout 3. The story and atmosphere is closer to the original Fallout games.
Borderlands It's not a good RPG (I don't even really consider it an RPG, but some people do)... If Diablo II with guns in the desert sounds like fun, this is it.

Edit: I know you said the laptop sucks, but have you played Planescape: Torment?

Oh yes, beat Borderlands too. Forgot about it because I borrowed it to someone.
I'm reluctant to try New Vegas because of Fallout 3, but I'll try it if there's really nothing else.

Gothic 4 received bad reviews all round, as far as I've seen. Apparently it's very boring and shallow.

Yes. A lot. ;)
Wouldn't mind playing it again, but the laptop really sucks, and Torment without the sound and music and Morte's voice and... well, no ;)

Does the laptop have USB? You could pick up a USB soundcard. I've got one lying around that I use occasionally (I actually have tons of external USB stuff because my Vaio slowly died and it was cheaper to do that at the time...).

Holy shit! I hadn't thought of that! Very good idea, I'll try that! Thanks!
