Dunno then there arent many good open world rpgs altogether. Gothic series was ok, but not open world, all the RPGs based on the d&d ruleset arent open world, Sacred was kinda open world iirc, but thats an arpg.

Vampire the masquerade: bloodlines although it's kind of more of a 3rd person game than first person

Not quite openworld either although you do have a lot of freedom
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Elder Scrolls and Fallout are the open world RPG series. Not much else out there, making open worlds is hard and time consuming.

I think the only games I enjoyed near the end of Wc3 custom games were the ones that had time to mature and get patched.

Mad Balls
Warlocks (the dota 2 one is awful btw)
Uther Party
Pains Party
Ice Escape (The Japanese 3.0 version with no backwards ice).
sheep Tag 3.16

For just fun games

Jungle Race

Arcanum, mostly because it's the spiritual successor to the first 2 Fallouts.

Bethesda's like the only company that actually makes first person "RPGs" that aren't shooters, and I hesitate to call their games RPGs because they're more like just exploration games with leveling systems given how much of an afterthought the story stuff is.

They fit more as an RPG than most other games people are fine calling RPGs. Not like you do a lot of roleplaying in Final Fantasy or Diablo.

True, though that's why those also have subgenres distinguishing them (JRPG and action RPG respectively).

Who calls Diablo an RPG? It's a dungeoncrawler, isn't it?

It's an action RPG.

Dungeon crawler are more like rogue-likes. Which ironically are the closest thing to how some pen and paper RPGs were played but noone calls them RPGs.

I think "action RPG" is the most common term used for Diablo and similar games.

Dungeon crawler I think refers more to games like Grimrock or Wizardry?

Hack'n'slash are action games. They don't need a leveling system but if they have RPG elements, they are Action RPGs.

Games can belong to multiple genres. Streets of Rage, Diablo, Devil May Cry may all be called hack'n'slash by some people.
