What is the best Elder Scrolls alternative? (Poll)

I'd like to see what other gamers think about this.  Preferably trying to keep it to games released after 2000.  Also, I didn't list the bethesda Fallout games because I consider them a scifi version of TES.

    Considering I've only ever heard of Fable and Two Worlds, I went with Two Worlds. That game was a great open world RPG, at least the first one. I hear the second one wasn't as good.

    Currently Playing: ESO and FFXIV
    Have played: You name it
    If you mention rose tinted glasses, you better be referring to Mitch Hedberg.

    Yeah, I know not everyone will have played every game on the list, but I figure most will have played a few and be able to chime in based on that.

    Wasn't Darkfall shut down?  Or are you talking about Darkfall: Unholy Wars?  I've read that DF:UW is only a shell of the game that the original was.

    yeah UW.

    its not as good or better than DF1 depending on what you want. However UW is far from a 'shell' of a game.

    The only thing bad about the Darkfall games is the community, I think its the worst out there

    That's interesting. I have not played Two Worlds 1, but have played Two Worlds 2. I enjoyed my brief stay there.

    When I upgraded my PC a year or so back, I lost my Two Worlds 2 game as I have never been able to get it working on my new PC. I've tried all the "tweaks and twiddles" that I have come across, but it still does not get past the splash screen :(

    I have played (on the list):
    Fable (briefly on X-Box 360)
    Kingdoms of Amular (briefly on PC)
    Arx Fatalis a lot (on PC)
    Fable and KoA I just could not get into. Arx Fatalis, while a great and fun game, is nothing like TES. It is very linear and very non-open world-ish.

    I voted for Two Worlds :)

    Where is Dragon Age, though that may be a stretch, too?

    Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.

    Maybe throw Dragon's Dogma on that list I have been meaning to play it but so many other things in my backlog. It tends to be compared to Dark Souls a lot in terms of difficulty and combat while being more open like TES and other big RPGs. Only bad thing I have heard about it is the story gets pretty meh and the occasional bugs here and there.

    I wish they had that for the PC. I've heard many people saying good things about it. I just can not play RPGs on consoles.
