mainly because i felt the action/fighting was a bit too slow, casting took a while and even attacking with the sword took forever to kill somebody.

Final Fantasy VII on PS is a must imo. (Provided you don't mind turn based combat) If you do like this one you'd probably want to explore the series in general.

Edit: lol jk, if Dragons Age was too slow then I doubt you'll enjoy the series.

Try the Kingdom Hearts series. Don't let the Disney logo turn you away, it's actually got a fairly deep and mature storyline to it. The combat is also very fast and furious in a way.
Have a great day!

fallout 3 is pretty good rpg. It is a different from clasic rpgs but the atmosphere is really good, you get sucked in the game really fast.
Be nice, buy wards and don't feed double buff.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Baldur's Gate I, II and expansions
Fallout I and II
Planescape: Torment
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I and II
Might and Magic series (although everything below VII or VIII will have a bit too dated graphics for todays computers).

Play these and you're good in the "Best RPG ever made" department.

Most of the Bioware RPGs are really good, like Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, Neverwinter Nights,etc. Then there's the Fallout series, especially Fallout 3 and New Vegas. CD-Projects The Witcher is a good call as well, if you like a more mature kind of fantasy roleplaying game.
If you don't mind old school graphics you should play Planescape Torment, cause the story is amazing.
And last but not least I recommend Vampire - The Masquerade : Bloodlines, with the latest fan patch!

Definitely try Diablo I & II, I also enjoyed the original Fable: The Lost Chapters and can't wait to get the third in the series when finally released on pc >_<

I also found the Overlord series enjoyable. Not really RPGs exactly, more like adventure games with slight customization options but the crude and dark humor involved made it worth it for me.
Have a great day!

Yeah, OP, you'll probably dislike the combat of most of these RPGs but they have some good stories.

Games like The Witcher and Mass Effect are decent action heavy games with fast combat.

PC Real time RPGs:

Torchlight
Prettymuch an affordable, enjoyable Diablo II clone. Extremely fun and a good time killer.

Titan Quest
A good, non-life dominating multiplayer RPG, similar to Torchlight except you can bring friends. Older game but still good graphics.

PC Turn-based RPGs:

Sad story. Not many good ones any more. I have none to recommend.
Most of the recent Final Fantasies have been very disappointing. Definitely steer clear of those. Latest one has a story that is painfully, painfully childish.

Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me.

These are some excellent suggestions. I'd like to ad that you can pick up BG1(and 2?) and FO1 and 2 from Good Ol Games. Planescape too I think. In addition I'd recommend TES II as well, it's available for free from Bethesda and for a newer game The Witcher.

I'd disagree, I love all those games and found DA:O to have boring combat as well. Most people would agree with that statement. It lacks the strategic depth that a slower turn based game should provide.

PS:T was shallower than DAO, KotOR is about as shallow as they get before turning into an action game, Morrowind is different, I've never played Might and Magic. BGII had a lot more depth than DAO, though I don't know about the original I remember having difficulty with BGI but I was young at the time and it was my first RPG ever, so I don't know how I'd classify it. I don't remember FO I and II clearly enough to decide.

The Witcher is a pretty good action rpg for the pc. Hell, it may even go on sale on Steam again.

A strong list. I'd add Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura if you want a true RPG experience. These are pretty hardcore RPG games though and not for everyone. The fact that you didn't like Dragon Age is a good sign though as it's such a shallow crap game
