The Best RPGs That Aren't JRPGs

Post by BurningDoom »

What are, in your opinion, the best RPGs that aren't JRPGs?

Personally I love action-RPGs, Western RPGs, whatever you want to call them. But I just can't get into JRPGs. The random battles and text-boxes just seem too repetitive for my tastes. Here's some of my favorites:

-Crystalis (NES)
-Baldur's Gate Series (PC/PS2/XBox/Gamecube)
-Diablo (PC/PSX)
-Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind & IV: Oblivion (PC/XBox/360)
-Justice League: Heroes (PS2/Xbox)
-King's Field 1 & 2 (PSX)
-King's Field: The Ancient City (PS2)
-Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (PS2/XBox/360/Wii)
-Neverwinter Nights (PC)

SRPG's > JRPGs

Fire Emblem and Advance Wars say hi!

So naturally I want to play some FFT and TO, but I need to find them first.

Jade Empire and the Fable series are favorites of mine.

The Bard's Tale on Xbox is fun too.
