To give you an idea of the types of games i like here are some console favorites of mine

So any good game recommends? I'm use to playing on a console and graphics do not bother me as much as the fun factor and quality (if it can have all 3 perfect!!!) I don't mind turn based combat as some do. I'm not really into first person shooters sorry i just never could get into them.
 
NW2
All the games by Spiderweb software (not great graphic-wise, but open-ended and generally great plots- I particularly liked the Exile and Avernum series)
Titan Quest (like Diablo, but less gory, better class system, better equipment, and better co-op)
Nox (Kinda similar to Diablo, but awesome plot, more unique classes, more humor and a unique style)
Dungeon Siege and DSII (also similar to Diablo)
Definitely the Mass Effect series
The first two Fallout games were great, and the others were okay.
Escape Velocity Nova (if you like a space-RPG game)
The older Fantasy Star games were good
The older Deus Ex games (not just the new one)
All the D&D games (though some are better than others, they can be purchased for super-cheap right now in a bundle over at Gamers Gate)
Dungeons of Dredmor (VERY amusing game)
Tibia (MMORPG, free to play, surprisingly addictive)
 
I haven't thought about Titan Quest in a while, but I agree what what you wrote. Titan Quest probably has the best class system of a Diablo style game I've seen. I did, however, find it hard to really get into the first time through, but the gear acquisition gets really fun on the 2nd and 3rd levels. Some gear lets you completely play a character different than you normally can play them. They also allow good synergies between dual class builds, better than anything I've seen before.
 


No go for the Fallout 3 series and the new Deus Ex game?
 

The new Deus Ex game is better than the second one, but good as its plot is, the first Deus Ex plot was better. Of course, its graphics suck and it suffers from other elements of its age, but still. The third Deus Ex is still very good, don't get me wrong- I didn't list it as other posts had already mentioned it a few times.

The first two Fallout games had more character to them. Fallout 3 and especially New Vegas lost some of that charm, and both games quickly became monotonous to me- I like exploring every crevice, so long before I was through Fallout 3's main plot, I had so many stimpacks death was impossible unless I simply fell asleep. I then completed much of the game with the same enemies, the same weapons (except for a few unique ones), and it became boring. A few mods helped for awhile, but couldn't solve the game's problems. The color scheme didn't help with that- everything was the same color, even after installing a few mods there was precious little variety in locals. (Just like Oblivion's caves.) To be honest, Fallout 3 was essentially Oblivion with guns.

New Vegas seemed exactly, exactly, like Fallout 3. Different plot and a few new enemies, but the AI was essentially the same, the weapons didn't change much, the graphics were the same, and Fallout 3 had so bored me by the end... never did finish F:NV. At least New Vegas had some different locals, but the bugs were the most horrible enemies ever created- far too powerful, and very demoralizing. I mean, who wants to be killed by a fly? The only good part of New Vegas was Honest Hearts, though admittedly I didn't finish the game so perhaps there was more to it later on.

jfizzle4321, what's your avatar from?
 


I forget where I found it. I saw it somewhere and thought it was pretty awesome so I downloaded it on my old rig.

I played fallout 3 without any expansions and I actually liked it which was surprising because I do not really get into apocalyptic games. I played borderlands and didn't like it at all though. I have Dues EX and played for a few hours but I think I like fantasy RPGs better. My current RPG to beat is Origins all the way through. I'll combine that with dirt 3 and mostly BF3. I want to beat Witcher 2 and Skyrim again now that I have an updated rig. I just downloaded a few mods for Skyrim but I really just want to focus my rpg attention to origins over the next few months. I don't play that often (other than bf3) so it'll probably be next year before I beat Skyrim and Witcher 2 again.
 
DA: Origins is a good one. I have some gripes about it, but they're pretty minor ones. Haven't played the sequel though; heard it wasn't as good. In DA: O, my favorite characters were always mages, which is a feat since I almost always go for straight-up heavy armor and dual-sword warriors.
 
I always tend to go with the rogues for some reason. I am on my second playthrough, though I did start another playthrough a while ago, and I have opted for the rogue elf every time. I also played through mostly using Morrigan, Allistar and Leliana. I like the dog too. The way to go is to use Morrigan as an arcane warrior, epic beast healer shapeshifter going primal and dual wielding.

I started the expansion with my first character and my hdd wiped out so I figured I'd give it a shot again. I consider the game one of my all time favorites so I might as well beat the regular game again and then play the expansion.

As far as the sequel? The graphics are way better and the combat is fun but the maps are cookie cutter, i.e you see the same dungeons over and over. That's kind of disappointing. I'll beat that one once I'm done with awakenings.
