What's a good RPG that isn't Oblivion or Fallout or Mass Effect, because I've been wanting to get a new one.

Fable 2's ending was just disappointing. The game itself was great though so if you're not picky about endings its a great game :)

I guess I'd go with Fable II.

There's also Bully, but that's not really a RPG. It's sort of close though.

You could always bust out the old stuff as well. I remember when I dusted off my old copy of Lunar: Silver Star Story... good times.

Bioshocks an amazing game with some RPG elements thrown in. I also suggest KOTOR if you've never played it, it's BC.

Fable 2 is the next best after those if you ask me. Especially since I noticed the 3 you mentioned are WRPG's and so you probably prefer those.

IF you really liked those 3 games you named and you want to stick with the WRPG genre next would be Two Worlds. While NOWHERE NEAR as good as the others, you can get it super cheap now and it will provide fun for quite a few hours. If you want to make a switch to JRPG's then I'd suggest your first one being Tales of Vesperia since the combat system is very action based. The story gets better the further into the game you play too.

I'm going to agree with the people who say Tales of Vesperia. But also look into Star Ocean: The Last Hope and/or Lost Odyssey. Great, great RPGs.

fable 2 just the main story. if your like me and youve put time into rpg's like WoW, your not gonna find much fun in anything but playing the story. Buying realestate, and/or working or having a family after beating it just isnt worth the trouble anymore and its all just wasted time, but the main story is pretty enjoyable for the 40 bucks it costs right now

Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia. CloserDivision

Tales is ok.........but Square totally messed up Lost and Infinite. Those 2 games are a 100% NO GO! I wouldn't recommend those to anyone ever.

Fable 2 hands down is one of my favorite games on 360. Agreeing with someone above, the ending was lame. But with the 2 add ons available, it gives you alot more gameplay and there are tons of extra stuff to find around the world, and secret weapons and fighting arenas etc. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good RPG.

This makes the second night in a row I've had to point this out: Square did not make Lost Odyssey. And aside from the boring battle system the story was 1000x's better than Tales.

Didn't care much for Fable 2, but I know others have.

Lost Odyssey and Tales are great RPGs. I have also enjoyed The Last Remnant.

Not Lost Odyssey. It's a great JRPG. It was severely underrated mostly because people felt it was too 'old school'. It did have several features that made it unique though (ring system, thousand years of dreams), and the story is excellent. The game was made by the creator of Final Fantasy, and the music was done by the guy who has done the music for almost every Final Fantasy ever made. 'Nuff said.

Fable 2
Bioshock
Assassins Creed (Considered an Action and not an RPG but still good)
Half Life 2 (The Orange Box)

Those are the ones that interested me.

Tales of Vesperia hands down. Best JRPG in the past 10+ years. It's freaking awesome. Has an Open World, real time combat, Insurmountable amount of sidequests and things to do. Extremely high replay value. Was 60 dollars for the longest time and recently had a price cut to 30. I would pay 60 again. It's that good!

Someone mentioned Star Ocean 4. That is an abortion of a video game. Was not fun. Possibly the most linear game ever. I had high hopes for it but it is pretty bad. :(

I have not played a lot of RPGs but the ones I like for the 360 are Fable 2, Lost Odyssey, and The Last Remnant. I have Blue Dragon but not even going to touch it until I finish Lost Odyssey. I found Mass Effect boring and I couldn't get into Fallout 3. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is cool but at the time (over three years ago) I couldn't really get into it but plan on buying it again since I seem to enjoy RPGs more now.

Aside from those I've only played Fable 2 and Lost Odyssey I would recommend Fable for mindless fun and Lost Odyssey if you feel like reading and playing a good story

Fable 2. It's less RPG than the 3 you listed but those are the best ones on the console.

It is just my opinion you know. :P Some people really like it. I just thought it was really bad. You pretty much have no freedom throughout the game. That makes it really bad. THey should have made it more of an open Universe/world like Tales of Vesperia. Would have made the game waaaay better. AS it is though your just railroaded from point a-b, wash rinse repeat.

I would suggest The Witcher also but it's been indefinately cancelled for the 360 and is only on PC. Also this is the 360 forum. :P

I have been disappointed from both Fable 1 and Fable 2. Finished both but promptly sold Fable 2 after beating it. I just started Lost Odyssey and am loving it. The combat isn't incredibly unique, but its difficult and the story is great. My next purchase will be Tales.
