To give a quick rundown, these are all the western RPGs I have played/completed:
- Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
- Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
- The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim + Special Edition
- The Witcher 1, 2 and 3
- Dragon Age: Origins

I need a new western RPG to play, any recommendations?

Quick note: Nothing from the Souls series or anything Souls-esk, please. And yes, I have played Kingdom Come: Deliverance and I thought it was a load of garbage.

I played about an hour of that game and refunded it due to being utterly bored. Sorry.

When? It completely changed with unlimited tamriel & one tamriel updates. it's sounding like you didn't give it a good enough try. It's a true elder scrolls game now.

Fallout 1-2 and Planescape Tornent are easily the best RPGs of all time

MMOs don't sit well with me and I usually try my best to avoid them, mainly because I prefer a solo experience. Plus, I went through an actual WOW addiction where I didn't eat or sleep for nearly two weeks and had to be taken to hospital so I'd rather not make that mistake twice. Sorry, but I'm going to pass.

Don't mean to disrespect, but I f*cking hate the Fallout series and I have never heard of Planescape Torment

Is it because you only played Bethesda's Fallouts?
Then it's as good time as ever to learn about Planescape.

How far back are you willing to go timewise? I know some bloody fantastic ones, but a fair bit of them are rather old and dated by today's standards.

I agree, and if anyone disagrees then you're just plain wrong.

If you liked Witcher 3 then honestly, the new Assassins Creed: Odyssey.
They pretty much transformed that series into a full blown open world RPG with the last entry and i really enjoyed playing it. Took me about 90 hours to complete and i still have a lot of side content open.

The South Park RPGs were pretty entertaining.
