Combat looks like point and click type of fighting so its not going to be as intense as Fallout 3, but you should definatley check out a few reviews and see what you think of it.

Other than that, I can't think of much that will match Fallout 3 or Oblivion. You might like the Morrowind series, I think there was a version released for the Xbox (not 360) but can't really remember, maybe worth a look. Oblivion is probably worth another look as well, once you get going, some of the sub stories are pretty good.
Thanks, Straker! I will definitely check out Dragon Age: Origins. I've heard good stuff about Morrowind and I think that I actually have an XBox copy lying around - I'll have to dig it up. When I tried to play it before, I wasn't ready to get into the RPG aspect of it, but I think that I am now.

Have you or anyone else gotten into Final Fantasy? I haven't played a single one, but I know they have a huge following. I'm currently looking at FFXI because of the online aspect of it - Kinda looks like WOW, which really appeals to me (my at home PC sucks, so if I'm going to do a MMPRPG I'd prefer to do it on the XBox 360).

Edit: Just read a few scathing reviews of FFXI - Maybe I should look at other ones...

Final Fantasy feedback would be great to hear, too - I'm really curious about this series and am only starting to scratch the surface of online review and the whatnot.
