I'm trying to find a fun new timesink, but I'm not having much luck. What I'm looking for is an open-world sandbox game, preferably with RPG elements, for the PC. My computer can handle running anything, so that's not a factor you have to consider.
Some games that are not options:
Morrowwind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 (All fun games, but I've played them to death.)
Dragon Age: Origins (Fun, but waaaaay too linear.)
Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 (Again, a bit too linear for my tastes. Plus enemies don't respawn. What's up with that?)
Any MMO. I usually don't like them much, plus they're more difficult to pirate- I mean... nothing.
Grand Theft Auto (Didn't like it, though I'll admit I didn't put much time into it. It didn't seem like there was a whole lot to do besides shoot random people and steal random cars.)
Spider-Man 2 (Don't laugh at me; I really liked this game. But I've beaten it three times now. )
Fable (Pretty fun, but I've beaten it already.)
Also, not a necessity, but I'd like to be able to play as a girl so I can better relate to my character as I go about randomly killing helpless civilians and taking their stuff. Any suggestions?
