I just finished up most of the games I had available on steam and am now looking for some new single player action rpgs to play (preferably pc)
These are games I have played and really enjoyed in the past:
1. Elder Scroll Series (Morrowind-Skyrim) I enjoy exploring the open world and the fantasy genre a lot (swords, magic, bows, etc) I might even give Oblivion or Morrowind another playthrough some time but I'm not sure how much more I can put into Skyrim.
2. Darksiders 1 and 2, I loved both of these games, the second being even better than the first. I still have a few things I need to finish up but there's not much left I can do in the game.
3. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, this game was a really fun single player rpg that I had on the PS3. I have considered picking it up on the pc w/ its dlc and giving it another run trough because I've only played through it once and have yet to try and dlc for it.
4. The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings, this game was pretty fun but a little difficult to get used to at first, but it made it that much more rewarding. I tried both of the sides but have yet to finish my second play through, although I'm very near the end and will probably pick it back up eventually.
5. Sacred 2, I barely remember this game now but I remember having a lot of fun with it back when I first got it, if I can find the disc I might give this one another try although it is a bit dated now.

That's about it that I can think of atm, would prefer a game that isn't too dated ad would prefer to keep playing the fantasy genre.. I'm not really a fan of sci-fi or gun games

I have been looking around a bit and the main game I want to try is Dragon Age. I played only very briefly the first one and never really got to experience much of the game because I wasn't able to get into it.. but I'm definitely going to give it another try. I own in on the ps3 but I think I might get it for the pc anyways, along with dlc I think. Although the second one has poorer reviews, I would probably end up playing that one as well, I think I have it for the ps3 already.
Another game I own is Dante's Inferno for the ps3. I've never played it but my brother told me it was alright but really short. I might give it a quick playthrough though, it seems kinda interesting.

Would also really appreciate some opinions so I can get a better list going rather than just maybe 1 or 2 games, thanks.

Diablo 3


That was such a letdown :(

e: Did some more looking, the combat in Two Wolds 2 looks kinda cool although I've only looked at a couple videos so far, reminds me a bit of Oblivion.

Well there's a reason for that :P and idk, not really into multiplayer anymore, or grinding the same areas over and over, not sure how the pvp is but I probably won't touch D3 anytime soon :(

On topic though, another game I just remembered I enjoyed playing a lot was Assassin's Creed IV, never really tried the other ones though and I'm not sure why, I might also have to give those a shot

Might also consider Dragon's Dogma for ps3, but I really wish it was on the pc
The other games I am interested don't come out until later such as Dragon Age Inquisition, Witcher 3, and Shadows of Mordor maybe

Andddd I bought DAO, possibly reinstalling Morrowind lol
Might have I try Dark Souls although I've always put it on hold, I'll probably try to get 1 an 2 on steam summer sale although I've heard pc Dark Souls isn't too good, thoughts?

Not really looking at Dragon's Dogma or Two Worlds II atm anymore
And I also enjoy playing archers if there are any awesome games for one, please lmk :P

I started playing Dragons Dogma fully expecting to end up quitting because I got bored, but I immediately got hooked. I deffinitely recommend it.

Hmm maybe I'll look into it again, the classes seemed pretty cool but the pawn system seems pretty confusing
Some of the videos in it either look really good or really bad but I guess I'll just have to try it out myself

if you're not too sheepish about (somewhat) older games, there's always the holy trinity of fallout, arcanum and planescape torment. they're not really action-y though.

and you could always give the first witcher a try, though you may be spoiled somewhat since the second one is better on pretty much all counts except the difficulty (witcher 2 starts out really hard then becomes piss-easy as you learn the system and level up a bit, whereas the first stays more even throughout)
