Im quite picky when it comes to games, and so even my favroite games have many feature (or lack features) that don't make it quite great. For example one of my favorites is Theif- Dadly Shadows, but it is not a free roam game (except the limited city, that doesn't have much to do in it), and lacks some stealth features like being able to do one shot kills after being discovered. These are just to things and the list could go on, even though this is one of my favorite games. Anyways, to the point. My favorites types of games are action rpgs (not regualar crap rpg where u select your target and watch your guy fight, i mean where it and rpg with action game elements). My ideal game would have the following (in order from most to least important)
1)FREE ROAM WOLRD/Non linear (i cant stand limited gameare, andlinear game play)
2)Replayability (most games dont have this, but this ties in with free roam and non linear)
2)Good Stealth system (something oblivion lacked)
3)Good Combat System ( many games are just hack and slash)
4)Good Setting (something fantasy, maybe sci-fi, the thief series can be credited with the best game setting i have ever seen)
5)this ties in with most of the above but good ai (oblivion's ai had many flaws)
6)other unique intresting game fetures are always nice like being able to join factions and stuff, or like in fable your apperance changes as you do evil or good)

please do not post the following games for i have already played them, oh and this has to be a pc game
-Elder Scrolls Series
-Gothic Series
-Theif Series (not rpg, but fits alot of the above)
-Fable
i'v actually decided to start my own game because i can't find a great one, and even thought im not pro at game making it will hopefully include the features i want, (i dont plan on making it on my own, as i barely know programming, and it would take extremely long to make all the scenery and models on my own, but i am taking programming coarses soon, which will be helpfull). Here is a pic of one of the weapons i made (i will continue to post more)
anyways thanks alot

Shields (many are based of the same models, but i like this, becuase in game ones of the same model would have the same states giving you a selection of appearances)

Sorry, but the best upcoming title like you describe, for me would be Assassins Creed.

I know fathers can cast a big shadow over their sons, but I didn't realise someone had made a game about it!

Perhaps you could buy Half life 2 and download the Eclipse mod:

http://www.eclipsegame.com/



It has some linear gameplay - not completely free roaming - there isn't a battle system as such, but there are monsters and enemies that you must work around using your psychic powers, there are puzzles to solve. It's quite fantasy - this title loosely fits into your description - but not many games I've played fit into what you want exactly.

The graphics as you can see are pretty good and well you can imagine what the physics will be like (being a Half Life 2 mod and all) by buying Half Life 2 you do have access to some great mods, although very few (if not any others at all) are quite like this.

There is a slightly fun, slightly "kiddie" game(hey, I'm a kid...)that can be either a small, 5 minute time-waster or a true gaming experience. The name of this game is FATE. It features dungeon levels into at least the hundred-thousands, but I actually think it went into the trillions(not that you would ever get there without cheating) and virtually infinite items(game names them using a prefix, suffix randomly and assigns random stats) It just was released onto storeshelves(at least in the US), so that you may buy it at Wal-mart or whatever. Sorry for the use of so many parenthesis and for incorrect grammer/spelling.

It is now. I guess they have made a new company called WildGames. I bought my copy at Wal-mart.
