I am pretty sure I have missed playing some recent fantasy RPG games with open worlds, i remember us talking about some but dont remmeber all the names. I have played or tried Morrowind, Oblivion, Gothic series, and Dragon Age, and Two Worlds I and II, but can anyone give a short list? I would like straigt on 3D worlds, not isometric, and Neverwinter II had terrible camera controls so thi fear that is out. I have tried Fable I, and found it too tracked, and Guild Wars I graphics sucked. So any ideas? thanks

Have you tried Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning? It is recent and is supposed to be quite good. Divinity 2 is also a really fun game.

And while not quite "open world", the Drakensang series is great (River of Time in particular).

Kingdoms of Amalur is probably the newest "open world" rpg, however sadly that studio tanked now (38 studios) so there will never be  a sequel (or planned mmo that was being developed) .

There were two dlc's for it that were actually decent and fairly priced, but not enough patches to fix things (a la the camera is a bit wonky in combat and difficulty gets quite easy as you get powerful).

. 

Skyrim should definitely be atop your list of open-world fantasy RPGs, Cris. 

You might also want to consider Risen and Risen 2. 

Of course, if you haven't played them, Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas (plus all DLCs for both games) are a must in the sci-fi RPG category. 

Cheers, Terry 

OK thanks guys, i think you have covered the ones i was trying to think of, Risen, for one...  thanks for all those suggestions, i may not try Las Vegas for a while, i am a bit depressed at the moment and a depressing post apocalypitic theme may be a bit dark for  me but thanks.

Skyrim i have Terry and actually have made a mod for, which seems to be fairily popular so far..

Have you tried Risen and its sequel?  Same team that made the Gothics, I think.

The Fable games aren't REALLY open world.  Pretty contained.  Fun, though.  The Dragon Age games aren't open world at all.

You didn't list Skyrim.  Have you played it?  Maybe the best open world RPG ever.

Fallout 3 is COMPLETELY open and completely stunning.  I hear Fallout New Vegas is really good, too.

The Assassin's Creed games aren't RPGs, but they are pretty stunning open worlds.  Particularly if you like Renaissance Italy.  And who doesn't?

 From what i remember, Chris has played Ass Creed games, and of course the TES games, and he doesn't like Fable. Yes, Risen one and 2, Arcania, and, I do suggest that you have a look at Ego Draconis , Chris, if you haven't already. It may not be completely sandbox in the sense of the TES games, but it does have a pretty gameworld which you can run around in and explore. 

How about Arx Fatalis?  Maybe not COMPLETELY open-world, but it's a fantastic game.
