Skyrim maybe a good choice. Also maybe Darksiders 1 and 2, its sorta like an action rpg mixed with zelda and god of war type fighting. I still havent finished Skyrim but its pretty good.

Dude, give Skyrim a shot. There is TONS of action if that is what you want to pursue. The game has beautiful environments, unique dungeons that all have stories attached to them, and combat that is very fun and diverse depending on your play style.
The meele combat can be one of two things. For the idiots who just stand in one place and mash the attack button like a lobotomized gorilla then it may seem shallow. But for the individuals who want the combat to be fun/interesting, utilizing the block button and learning how to doge is vitally important. Also, learning the patterns of the enemies you fight is bonus.
Another game series that I recommend is the Witcher series. Tons of action, fun combat, and a pretty engaging story on top of some beautiful graphics. Dragon Age Origins is a pretty classic RPG in terms of combat. You control a squad of people that you have to micro manage all the time. The action is pretty much point and click. You don't have any real time control like Skyrim or anything.

I tweaked Skyrim's difficulty so that nearly anything would kill me in one hit.
Still shallow as hell. Floaty combat, weak attacks and hp bloated enemies (on Master anyways, assuming you do not abuse the broken smithing) does not result in good combat.

I have signatures turned off for a reason....
Don't buy anything for the PC right now.... Wait until the Steam Sales. By January you'll own so many PC games that you've bought for less than 10 bucks that you won't get thru all of them by the time the Summer Sales begin.
Anyway Steam Sales should be starting within 2 weeks. Sometime before Christmas anyways. And they'll last to the beginning of January. When the sale does start only buy from the Daily Deals and Flash Deals. Publisher sales will be going on at the same time, but those same games often go on daily sales for cheaper than the normal publisher's sales. I suspect FarCry 3 and Borderlands 2 will go on sale for 33-50% off sometime during the sale. And Skyrim is sure to go on sale @ 75% off... maybe 80%. Dark Souls will likely go on sale, too.... Although, currently, it's 16 bucks @ Amazon for the Xbox. Was 16 bucks for the PS3 last week, but I guess they ran out....

BTW: right now you can get Metro 2033 for free from facebook. Can find details in this forum somewhere or in the news section of gamespot that was posted yesterday.

[QUOTE="Temesra"]I was thinking of getting Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim but not sure if the action and fighting is the same like those games or not.[/QUOTE]i would say grab Skyrim. Its Good and accessable. I'm a huge Witcher 1 and Witcher 2 fan, those games are better imo, but skyrim is still good and might be a little closer to what you're looking for. And yes, there are definitely plenty demons and monsters to kill, haha.

I have look at many youtube clips on Skyrim and also from what I read it does not look like game that I will like . From what I understand the pros and cons of that game is the pro is the nice 3D graphics , big open world,interaction of people in the game and quests but cons the story is bad , fighting and combat is really bad and lack of different enemies is very very very very very disappointing
Dragon Age does seem to have way more fighting ,combat and action not to say it has interaction of people and quests . Don't know if it open world and good story or not or if it has lots of different enemies .
What I read in this thread the reason many of the high in 3D graphics like Skyrim have such lack of different enemies is it so time consuming to have different enemies and this may also be reason lack of dungeon and caves so on is well may be too time consuming .
One should look at how many people it took to make Skyrim , money and how long it took to make the game than look at old games like llusion of Gaia ,Zelda , soul blazer and secret of mana so on and we all would get good idea .Note the game like Skyrim or far cry 3 may take 3 or 4 years to make and well over 1,000 people where llusion of Gaia ,Zelda , soul blazer may be year to make and under 100 people.This may be reason that and first person shooter is more of fad now.

[/QUOTE] Dragon Age isn't a complete open world (has different locations yoiu travel to on the map), doesn't have good monster variety (as most all modern RPGs don't) You'll be fighting darkspawn after darkspawn. And it doesn't have action gameplay (it's real time with pause combat where you give commands to your party of 4 characters (and they execute the attacks)
Weren't you looking for an rpg which had the gameplay of an action game anyway ? I noticed those SNES games you're referring to have action gameplay, as opposed to the JRPGS like Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger which had more traditonal RPG gameplay (relying on your characters stats/dice rolls, not your twitch skills/reflexes)
