Looking for open-world and more linear RPG's

[Fido]

[update: 18/02/2021] Added a bunch of new games to the RPG lists. See the comment of the same day to see which games are new. Enjoy!

[update: 23/12/2018] Added a bunch of new games to the lists, sorted the lists alphabetically. (Both on this thread and the other one) Also made a new thread for a list of stealth and sniper games.

[update: 06/06/2018] I went on a lengthy search through the internet and updated this list and the one about isometric RPG's. If you notice any mistakes or have any more suggestions, feel free to let me know.

I'm trying to find more open-world and linear western RPG’s and in the process help anyone looking for those as well by listing the ones I already know about. This should also help you give an idea of what I’m looking for. Please feel free to post any game you know about that is at the very least decent. It doesn’t matter if they’re on steam or not, games on other platforms or consoles are fine as well. I will try to keep this list updated with all the new games you guys tell me about.

If you want to suggest any isometric RPG's, I created a new thread for those :)

If you want to suggest any stealth games, I have a thread for that as well! (Someone moved it to this thread and the one for isometric RPG's. Not sure why, but clicking this link will still bring you to it)
