Games similar to Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3?

They're linear and they're not open world, but Deus Ex, and Deus Ex Invisible War are very open in how you decide to play the game, and give you choice in your actions and those choices have consequences in the storyline. They're also more steampunk with guns and not ye olde rpg.

For example, in the first game, you could choose to save your brother, or let him fend for himself in a gunfight. If you save him, he's there in the game later on to help you, but if you let him die, then he's a goner!

Deus Ex was fantastic! Deus Ex: Invisible War was pretty great (I didn't finish it thought) but it had some weird issues - the engine seemed really chunky, even on a beefy pc and the level load times were a little frustrating. But still a nice game.

They are my two of favourate games of all time! I had Deus Ex on xbox, it was probably chunky on your pc because they ported it over from the xbox, not the other way round. (So I'm told) Just a guess.

I'm trying my best not to get excited about Deus Ex 3 because it's being made by a different team.

Well, Invisible War was chunky on the computer that I had at the time, and is still chunky on my current computer (Which can run games like Crysis quite happily), so I guess it must be something to do with the porting. I'd really love to try playing it in a situation where it ran smoothly and didn't take an excessive amount of time to load levels (things like level loading times very rarely frustrate me, but in this case they did).

I got excited about Deus Ex 3 when they released the little 'trailer', but seeing how little I've heard/seen about it my excitement has waned. Naturally, as soon as some solid data about it appears I will regain excitement!

Really? There has been ingame screenshots, conceptual art, and lots of model renders since.

Point taken, and I do remember seeing some of these, but I still would very much like to see a bit of gameplay footage

Don't we all. I really can't wait to see an well rounded polished Deus Ex game.

The concepts look and sound amazing.

It seems BioWare is about to release Dragon Age soon. Looks promising.

I'll certainly check it out.

Daggerfall has just been released for free by Bethesda! You can get it off of their site.

Even if DaggerFall is sorta dodgy, if it's free, it's worth its bitsize in gold...

I remember getting DaggerFall and playing it for a bit, but the keyboard controlled movement really got to me, to the point where I was wondering if there was a way to hack into it to control the "look" with a mouse.

I've become spoilt

I second the suggestions for the Gothic series (I to III with expansions), in comparison to Morrowind and the like, the game world seems more alive and believable.

Fable 2. I bought this game 2 weeks ago and find it very fun. I played the hell out of Fallout 3 (180 Hours) and wanted a new game.

I have been playing Fable 2 for the past 2 weeks. Good game, but not as open as Oblivion or Fallout 3.

Yet still an enjoyable game, and to me the graphics are AMAZING!!
