I want an action game or RPG thats expansive, has a decent story, and customization. The reason for this is: I want to play a game like WoW or some sort of MMO but dont want to have to pay for the MMO. I dont know. I cant think of any game thats fast paced third person action that isnt an evil Ubisoft Game. Id get AC2 or Conviction or some action game like that if I didnt have to deal with the DRM crap. Let me know.

well you said RPG

So the usuals...KotOR, Dragon Age, Mass Effect etc.

I think Guild Wars is also fitting your liking.

Hope that helps!

(Maybe even Red Faction: Guerilla)

If you want MMO-like gameplay, your best bet is either Fallout 3 or Oblivion but I personally wouldn't recommend either of those games they are (IMO) a complete borefest and totally shallow games. Then there's Dragon Age that's also very similar but a MUCH better game and to some extent The Witcher. If you're willing to play an older game there's also Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter Nights. And If you're looking for something more shooter-ish but with RPG elements and a great story there's the Mass Effect series. Keep in mind these are all RPGs they are NOTHING like AC2 or Conviction, which are just third person action games but well except Mass Effect. For Non-RPG TPS action games there's Dead Space, Batman Arkham Asylum, Gears of War, Resident Evil 5 and the original Assassins Creed that actually doesn't have ANY kind of DRM.

I guess I should have added that Ive played:

DA: O

Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2

KOTOR

Guild Wars

Red Faction Guerrilla

The Witcher (not finished but still)

Fallout 3 (Dislike it)

Dead Space

Dont want to paly Batman AA Or Gears - cuz I played 2 already.

Might look into RE5 though. Anything else?

Aw dude, you're my hero. You expressed my exact opinion on Fallout 3 and Oblivion IV. On topic, I thought Gears of Wars sucked, so I won't recommend that...Hm, Just Cause 2 and Red Faction: Guerilla are good for only a while, then they get repetitive, especially if you've played the likes of GTA to death. Actually, I'm looking for the same types of games you're looking for and I played about the same games you have, and out of your list, finished like 2 of them. So yeah, tell me when you find a game to your liking since I'll probably like it also.

I considered Just Cause 2 for a while cuz of how much fun I had with Red Faction G but I dont know if I still want it. Its better on the PC I know but it just seems like mindless fun. I want something I wouldnt mind investing time into. lol...do I really have to someone return to WoW? lol...I couldnt do that.

you are completely missing out on Batman it's still one of the best games I've played in recent memory. I could recommend Alpha protocol (the game isn't as bad as the critics made it out to be). there's also Assassin's Creed 2
