That's an INCOMPLETE list, I need to add more recent games to it, but I got most of the top ones on the list. The games I'm most interested in are: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Mass Effect 1/2/3, but I need to research the games on the list more. What Western Rpg's are looking forward to? ?!

EDIT:
I'm researching the top recent and upcoming western rpg's. It appears that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Mass Effect, dominate in my opinion, their respective competitors as far as getting a spot on my rpg playlist. Here's what I mean...

I prefer to play The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion instead of these partially similar rpg's...
Diablo 3
Fallout 3
Jade Empire
Dragon Age: Origins
Fable 1
Fable 2
Neverwinter Nights 2

And I prefer to play Mass Effect instead of these partially similar rpg's...
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2
Alpha Protocol

I'm really trimming down the list of rpg's I'm playing. It's possible that in 2009 I'll only play four games: Mass Effect, Starcraft 2, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and Final Fantasy XIII.
