Try as I might

I simply can't get into RPG games. I've tried; I got Morrowind and Pirates of the Caribbean bundled with my X-box. As far as I know they are both fairly rated games from the same development team.

My problem is the fight routine. If only the game reverted to an 'Actua Fighter' style engine than the simplistic and uneffective 'one-slash sword movement' that I've witnessed so far (whilst your enemy kicks butt)

I can appreciate the depth and scope of these games but simply cant get into them. Is there an RPG that gives the player a fair chance?

Assuming you mean the 360, try Mass Effect. RPG style game where you level characters up, but the fighting is with guns in the normal way. You can instruct your team what to do, but they will do their own thing if you leave them to it.

Thanks Cakeboy, that sounds alot better. Unfortunately not got a 360 though :-( But will be upgrading soonish

As above, Oblivion is an awesome game and will be very cheap nowdays, especially for the Pc
