There are different type of rpg's. For now I know of 4 or 5 main types. There is traditional, action, tactical, and pc style/western style(like Oblivion, Two Worlds, Overlord, etc). Also, I believe there may be another genre for console rpg's, but I'll explain it later.

What are the top PC style/Western style rpg's in 2006 and 2007 besides The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion? Also, please list ALL of them if possible.

I don't know much about this genre, but I want to research it now. Let me list what I know of from this year and last year...

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Gothic III
Overlord
Two Worlds

Also, how would you classify Bioshock? I see it listed as first person shooter and/or action rpg and/or action adventure game. Also, I'm curious about the game "Folklore" coming out for PS 3 on Oct 2nd or so. Mass Effect by the way is what I call a 3rd person shooter rpg(like FF VII: Dirge of Cerberus)

Basically, please list all 2006/2007 rpg's like Oblivion! :)

Please tell me you're not trying to define the Japanese knockoffs as "traditional."

"Traditional console rpg" is what I mean by "Traditional rpg". The debate about the naming is not the focus of this thread but we may discuss that in another thread if you desire to.

I feel like renting Oblivion, and I wonder how good Gothic 3 is. Gothic 3 came out for PC on November 21st last year, interestingly the same day that the Knights of the Nine expansion pack for Oblivion was released for PC and Xbox 360! How come two huge games of the same genre came out on the same day I wonder.
