Hello everyone, this will be my first post. For some time i have been looking for a role playing game with a very good combat system and not just a click and go game. Games that is similar to what im looking for can be Oblivion ( although in my opinion the combat seemed a bit dull), Fallout 3 (i enjoyed this game very much with DLCs and mods). Another factor im looking for it has a very open world. So the story is not so linear.\ The kind of action im looking for is more complicated than some mmorpg type with just a few clicks there and hit some hot keys. For some reason im having trouble typing what kind of game im wanting (haha) Although im a more fan of Medieval setting in a rpg but any will do as long it had very strong combat system. Sorry if this doesn't make much sense
Just FYI the witcher directors cut extended edition is available on steam for $13.59 on sale from $40. This goes through the 3rd and a ton of other games are also on sale from steam as well.
EDIT Forgot to post what i already played Gothic 3 Fallout 3 Oblivion Morrowind Borderlands Diablo 2 Mount and Blade Risen Mass Effect, really enjoyed this Dark Messiah a whole bunch more but just cant think of anymore The Witcher seems like a game im wanting but more suggestions would be nice PS i only have a PC for gaming so only PC games please
You could try Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. I know you said you don't want a point and click type game, but if you did like Diablo 2, check out Torchlight and Titan Quest.
So many replies as i edit my posts I have tried torchlight, seems almost the same as Diablo 2 Titan quest i thought of it...but is it also like diablo 2? Thank you all for your replies I was interested in a PS3 exclusive Demon's Soul any news if it might come to the PC?

Thank you all for your replies Titan Quest is also like Diablo 2... but, not quite a direct clone like Torchlight. It's unique enough on it's own. However, it still is essentially a Diablo point and click hack and slash.

Thank you all for your replies I was interested in a PS3 exclusive Demon's Soul any news if it might come to the PC? well i think sony published it in japan, so i wouldnt think so Yeah even without any official word from Sony, I can guarantee you there is absolutely zero chance of Demon's Soul coming to PC. You'd have better odds of having Metal Gear Solid 4 on PC imo.
darn, and it pleased me in my catergory of an action RPG How about FPSRPG hybrids? I'm not saying it has to be first person but maybe more suggestions will come up. I am playing the STALKER SERIES not enjoying it much though.

I am playing the STALKER SERIES not enjoying it much though. Well Deus Ex is supposed to be good. But its pretty old, so it depends on if you can handle dated visuals.
Since you haven't played the Witcher according to your above post, I would definitely try that. The combat isn't really deep at all, but seems more like what you are looking for.

Sorry if this doesn't make much sense Gothic Gothic 2 medieval setting (kind of) open ended (sort of) Ahriman's Prophecy (freeware) Lot's of freeware games out there remakes or similar to FF series
beh played two worlds before, too simple for me, is gothic 2 like gothic 3? if it is im not interested and sacred isnt that like diablo as well? As in click and go
Divinity 2 and Risen are both action RPGs that have been released recently. (Divinity I think still won't be released in the US for a few days, no?). I'm playing Risen right now and I can say it is a very good change in pace from Dragon Age (Great game too) and reminds me much of Gothic 3. Divinity 2 I've heard is a good game too. Take yer pick!
Thank you for all your replies, sadly i played most of them already ( Fable, mass effect, fallout 3 GOTY,dark messiah) I liked dark messiah combat system but i already have finished through it and also the story is linear. Fable, it was really not that great i never finished it nor i plan to. Fallout 3 i played the main mission through but never went through all the DLCS. I played with some mods. Mass effect finished a month ago, its fun but after you beat it....not so fun anymore So far The Witcher got my attention and maybe Sacred 2 and Titan quest but i believe they are like the point and click, hack and slash, such as diablo 2. Dont get me wrong, im sure they are very fun. ( i enjoyed diablo 2 alot back in the days) just not a fan of the point and click types. Thank you once again Something i should you guys know, my PC is not that great by specs, so the newer games i might not be able to play. Intel core duo 1.86ghz Ram of 2gb ATI Raedeon HD 3600 512mb My processor is a bit weak so keep that in mind
Hi OP Looks like you are in the same boat that a lot of RPG players are in.
How about a game such as Arcanum: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/arcanumofsteamworksamo/index.html?tag=result;title;0
I never played it but I have seen it mentioned by posters here and there. Also how about Arx Fatalis:http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/arxfatalis/index.html?tag=result;title;0
These games have some age to them but it looks like you have checked out all the recent games. Also the US demo for Divinity 2 was just
To the OP, yes Sacred is another Diablo-esque game. Though honestly Torchlight and Titan Quest are a lot better imo if you're going to be buying something like that. I also say check out Risen. I tried the demo and it's a really good game. I plan on getting it eventually.
Since you haven't played the Witcher according to your above post, I would definitely try that. The combat isn't really deep at all, but seems more like what you are looking for.zomglolcats
It doesn't need to be deep at all, it's perfect already.

It doesn't need to be deep at all, it's perfect already. I know, but he said he wanted something a bit more sophisticated in the combat, rather than just clicking and hotkeys. That's pretty much the combat in the Witcher, but he'll be hard pressed to find something amazing in the combat area.

Really? i thought it was more than that, it was known for its good combat system was it not?
+1 for Arx Fatalis. Also, try KOTOR, Jade Empire or Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines if you haven't played them. As for The Witcher's combat, it was more known for being different. 'Good' is debatable I believe it was the story and setting that made the game great.
I suggest you go for Jade Empire, trust me it has a nice combat system with all the different martial styles you can use during combat, also some enemies fall quicker to some styles, are immune to some, and so on... The story is also nice and the visuals run pretty well on lower end systems. Its not totally open ended, it follows the main quest but I think it would be worth a shot, don't know if there isa demo for it, but try it nonetheless... You should also try Dragon Age Origins...
If you want detailed turn based games then Kings Bounty is a nice one... As far as action RPGs go why not try Divinity 2 which is due for release soon. I played the demo and liked it. You can also try the demo and see if it matches your tastes

Really? i thought it was more than that, it was known for its good combat system was it not? I don't know. I've heard people complain about the combat. Really though, other than the stances, it's pretty much just clicking. Not really any more in depth than any other combat system.
