So far, Divinity II seems most appealing, but does anyone else have any non-Elder Scrolls games to recommend?

There was that Amalur game that came out earlier this year that was supposed to have been really great. It was an open world action RPG that actually had fun combat, unlike the TES games.
Try the Ultima series. Caution, they're REALLY old games, even older than Final Fantasy, but they were kinda one of the first to have open-world exploration. Mostly because there wasn't any real plot to speak of.
I've played both. :(
Dark Souls is the only right answer.

I hereby call upon all EoFF-Souls-players to testify and recommend the greatness that is Dark Souls to you. Once you taste the glory of Dark Souls, thou shall never even think of playing an Elder Scrolls ever again. It really is that good.
Dark Souls is literally one of the greatest things that ever happened to me.
I'm not even smurfing joking.
Fun combat, yes.Quote:

Got my vote.Quote:

But that doesn't matter because you need to play Dark Souls.
When I first went out with Dark Souls, it started to slide it's hand up my shirt when we were fooling around a bit in the car. Let's just say I didn't say no.Quote:

God damnit, I love that game.
Quin and I agreed thread needed more poll.
You're amazing. xD
I've noticed Laddy hasn't responded in a while. That can only mean he's bought, started playing, and become obsessed with Dark Souls.
Dark souls, Kingdoms of Amular, Dragon's Dogma, urmmmm yeah there aren't too many open world stuff like that.
If you like the fable-esqe combat try kingdoms, plus it's brightly colored! Also RA Salvatore did the history as well as Todd McFarlane (creator of spawn) did the armor and stuff so that's cool. The lead designer of skyrim was also part of it.
No need to explain dark souls more than these kids have.
Dragon's Dogma is a good one of skyrim and Monster hunter having a baby. Cept if you make a female character, watch out because the giant ogres will grab you, and run off with you. Then they will proceed to hump you to death. I'm not joking. Great game though. Story is a little generic but it's a lot of fun. If you're friends with DK, his pawn is really good. His name is Carlton and looks just like carlton from fresh prince. but he's a great mage to have as a pawn.
That is one great poll.
Dark Souls' world might not be as open as other RPG's in terms of wide fields, but every location is so much more compelling, relevant and immersive than anything I ever experienced. It is far more open in the sense of the word that you're not running errands for anyone. You're not a slave sent out to kill 3 sheep, fetch some cheese and then some more boring quests. You're a warrior. You only have one goal and you find out what it is all by yourself. You're doomed unless you fight and nothing else deserves your attention. And who needs maps anyway?
