Unlike many of its contemporaries, it has a sandbox format, meaning that the entire world is open to exploration from the beginning, and that quests do not necessarily happen in a specific order. For those that prefer a more structured atmosphere, Oblivion can seem overwhelming at first, but once a player experiences such a format, more traditionally rigid games can feel relentlessly linear by comparison.
The leveling system is a straightforward one: seven skills are picked out of a total twenty-one, and when each skill is increased by ten points, the character levels up. The player can also choose between first- and third-person perspective.
This is a useful feature, as Oblivion is particularly noted for its melee combat. All in all a solid game. This oddly matched group must team up to save the life of a little girl, and drive evil from the land.
This title, a recent but often overlooked release from Square Enix has already garnered polarized reactions from players. Those who like it appreciate the top-notch soundtrack and general environment of the game, which is rather like some of the later Final Fantasy titles, but without the turn-based combat.
Common criticisms from detractors usually have to do with one of three things: 1 There are a few bosses which can only be defeated with very specific actions, and often have a stun lock attack which gets frustrating very quickly. On the whole, this title is worth a shot for any fantasy RPG fan, particularly for those interested in post-apocalyptic scenarios.
By now, it is apparent that there are no Final Fantasy titles on this list, which may come as a surprise to some, but currently the only available FF title for is XIII, which is a strong enough game, but The Last Remnant, also by Square Enix, is a much more solid effort when one looks at both games as a whole, even though this statement is bound to be controversial for many players.
The story initially introduces a world were ancient powerful artifacts, known as remnants have been discovered in various locations and unearthed in an attempt to harness their power.
Unfortunately, the existence of these artifacts led to conflict between the people in positions of authority, and those who served under them, causing a class rift and eventually an all-out war.
This war almost annihilated the world, but the survivors went on to rebuild their society anew. Rush immediately pursues them in an attempt to rescue her, and is befriended by David Nassau, the ruler of the State of Athlum along the way.
This game is a striking statement about the nature of balance and the idea that even a noble intention can be corrupted with too much power.

This article covers some of the best RPGs on the Xbox It is not an exhaustive list, but hopefully, it gives you some insight. While the graphics might not be as great as the Elder Scrolls series, the game makes up for that by having a very good story, some brilliant voice acting, and a very good crafting system that allows you to create some amazing weapons! That's not to say that the graphics are poor—even on the Xbox , they are pretty awesome—each area features its own distinct atmosphere with some amazing touches like realistic waves, super effects for fog, etc.
The gameplay is varied and can keep you busy for over hours if you complete every side quest which I did —even after I finished the game I still had a lot of mini-quests to finish, as well as four or five dragons to tackle. Great graphics, super sound, intriguing plots and subplots and plenty of moral choices make this one of the best RPG games of all time.

The Mass Effect trilogy tells the story of an elite soldier, Commander Shepard. It is one of the best cross-genre games available.

I played the original Fallout games on PC back in the '90s and enjoyed the strategic elements and adventure that they provided. Fallout 3 took those elements to the next level by creating a game that combined first-person shooting, role-playing, strategy, and adventure.

Fallout 3 is a truly vast game that gives you many choices that will change the game—with excellent graphics and a superb atmosphere it is one of the "must-have" RPG games.

It was probably the first RPG game that had a truly open world that allowed you to travel anywhere in the world whenever you wanted. There were many flaws in the game and much repetition, but it signaled a change in the way RPG games would be created and promised much.
As the series progressed the games got better providing more complex quests, decent plots, and state of the art graphics—it became the flag-bearer for RPG genre and set the standard for what RPG games should be like.
