Default What would be a good PC free roam rpg to get?

I'm hooked on open world rpg's at the moment.

What would be a good PC free roam rpg to get?

Here's a list of what I know I already have and have played:

TES: Skyrim
TES: Oblivion (GOTY)
Fallout: New Vegas
Mass Effect I, II, III
Guild Wars: Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall & EOTN

Final Fantasy VII (7) & IX (9)

P.S. If this is not the right area to post, please can a moderator move it to the right place.

Default Unfortunately.....

I just checked online and no, The Witcher is not a open world game, but it is a rpg.

Fallout 3 (maybe New Vegas as well, but I haven't played it).
Guild Wars (amazing no-subscription fee MMORPG, GW2 coming out in late August so that might be another choice)
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel
Divinity II Ego Draconis

There are several others I can recommend but they are just not coming to mind atm. >_<

Dead Island
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
The Witcher
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
Fallout 3
Fallout New Vegas
Dragon Age Origins

(Some of these aren't entirely open world games, but they're still amazing)

Keep them coming though.

KoA would be perfect for you, me thinks.

Arx Fatalis, Just Cause 2 (not an RPG, but possibly the best full-on open world game I've ever played), Two Worlds II...

It's not entirely open world, but it's not linear either. It's far less linear than Mass Effect, that much is certain.

Oh yeah, I have Just Cause 2, I love the fact it has 4 different enviroments (Forest, Tropical, Mountain and Desert) to play around with although I would have liked cheats to unlock after the game was completed as an options. Also, as i've played both, I can say that Mass Effect is actually less linear than The Witcher, because you can go back to previous areas after you completed them while in The Witcher you can't go back to previous areas/missions.

EDIT: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning looks great! I'm definitely getting it, it looks like a mixture of Fable and Skyrim and I love both (of course, mainly Skyrim).

Personally I don't see either DA or KoA as "open world"... you get a limited amount of freedom to explore sure, but they're not "open" in the way Skyrim or Fallout are.

Just my opinion.
