Just beat all the Major Quest in Fallout 3, plus the DLC (The Pitt was EPIC). So this leads me to my question: What RPG should I get next?

As I said previously, I really like Fallout 3. Don't know any other RPGs besides the Fallout Series, but I like how the game reacts to the choices you make. I was thinking about getting New Vegas, but I'm also curious about branching out from the series.

I have an XBox 360, Gold Membership, and rating/cost isn't too much of a problem.

DA/DA 2 - only if you want to play as gay, which looks like dalmatian dog in red spots. Each follower,except dog - drama queen with bunch of problem. Very annoying games.
Deus Ex or The Witcher will be way better.
Mass Effects - start with 1, then import save to 2.(or use website to download save from 1). Can't say that you will feel "epic" in ME2. It's simple "gather followers, complete their missions, and do 4-5 storyline missions".

I'd like to agree with you here, but he's asking for Xbox 360 games.

There's definitely a greater number RPGs on the PC, though.

As for xbox rpg i will suggest forum games or DnD with friends. I can't imagine "roleplay" in these "choose between good, bad and neutral answers" games.
On PC it's less noticeable because it let you store huge walls of text thus choose wider (in fallout 2, for example, up to 8-10 different sentences with different resuilt)

This really makes no sense whatsoever. Ten years pass from the beginning to the end of the game, do you really expect your friends to not ask for your help with anything whatsoever during that time? Do you really expect them to just agree with everything you do? I think it's a good thing that your allies actually act like people would.

Oh, and I have no idea of what that gay/dalmatian dog thing was about. If you don't want the main character to be gay, don't flirt with guys. Problem solved. I'm guessing the red spots thing was about the blood your characters get on them when they fight in melee? I'm pretty sure that can be disabled via the options too. Problem solved there as well. Both of your complaints were about optional features. Did you even play the game?

Really, Dragon Age and Mass Effect are my two favorite game series of all time, and the best part is that because of the choices and different classes, it adds some replay value. If you want swords and magic, I'd recommend Dragon Age, if you want sci-fi, guns and biotics (like magic) I'd go for Mass Effect.

Also, one good thing about the story in Dragon Age 2 is that there's not really a "Good guys" and a "Bad guys" faction, and it's not always obvious what is the right or wrong choice.

I don't know about for the Xbox360, but for the PS3 there should be a Dragon Age 2 demo available. You could give it a try before you decide.

So... the entire game is like The Pitt from Fallout 3? I'll probaly get Mass Effect, Oblivion, or Dragon Age. After I replace Fallout 3, of course...

Any of the Fables, I'd say. I don't know many others, and these are my favorite. I don't know if you have seen them or played them but they are all pretty much medieval times, especially the first one, my favorite. They get like guns and less armor in the other two, but they're still good.

Fable One (The Lost Chapters) is my favorite because:
Its the most original, the Will (magic) works the best, and it has better spells, its more medieval with armor and swords and stuff like that, cool storyline, and its overall a real fun game. I am currently playing Fable 3 on 360, and it's pretty fun.

Just buy any of the Fables, and you've got yourself a pretty cool game.

That's just the basic attacks, you can still use spells and abilities whenever you want to, unless they're on cooldown. This is most likely because the game has some strategy elements to it as well, and you're actually encouraged to control all of your party members, and not just the main character, even though that's possible as well.

By the way, the automatic basic attacks exist in many other games as well, like, for example, World of Warcraft, and most strategy games.

So basically, the game is not for people who want to just stab stab stab without thinking. DA2 works pretty well for that, though, unless you play on the hardest difficulties.

Pretty much that. Imo you have to play Mass effect 1 before 2 though.

Double wat?
That's just the autoattack mate, you're forgetting about the spells and abilities you bind to your keys.
Or did you just play both games with just the autoattack?
I are confus mon.

but dude Dragon Age (origins) sucks, it's lame, takes to long for the real story to start, the party's are to big and its for me the most F* up RPG. If they want they could have made it a far better game, but no the didn't

If that was true, how do you explain all their fans, their overall good reviews and their awards?

So, yeah, complain all you want, but most people actually liked it, and no amount of swearing is going to change that.

takes to long for the real story to start,


It definitely doesn't "take too long for the real story to start", it starts almost immediately.

the party's are to big


You seriously can't handle controlling a party of four? Then don't. That's what the AI is for.

If they want they could have made it a far better game, but no the didn't


Seven "Game of the Year" awards say otherwise. (See the Awards link)

Dragon Age: Origins was a great game, and a lot of people agree.

Eh. RPGs have always had indirect control over combat - all of those who let you execute combat moves yourself are, in fact, Action/RPG hybrids. Such as TES series.

Personally, I prefer having direct control when playing as a single character and indirect, overview mode when leading a party of characters. Each serves it purpose better than the other.
