Very open-ended console RPGs

I've been completely bored of RPGs lately. I found myself unable to beat Kingdom Hearts 2, Suikoden V, Dragon Quest VIII and a lot of other RPGs. I don't know what it is, I just can't play them anymore.

But, when I picked up Oblivion, I was immediately sucked in and played it for about 150 hours. I was completely addicted. Which tells me, I still have some desire to play RPGs in my blood, but right now just not your typical style RPGs.

Until my desire to play typical RPGs comes back, I'm going to focus on playing The Elder Scrolls-like highly open-ended games. My PC is awful for gaming, so please, no PC-only games. Preferably high customization of your character and a lot of weapons, and equipment to get.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I still have RPG as my favorite genre, but FPS right now I'm having the most fun playing. I love FPS games so much. Never get enough of them.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I never said they were easy.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Okay, not really done, but those are a great start. SF still confines you to one or two endings per character and has a more simplistic system for determining which ending (assuming you even have a choice) you get. The journey is the fun part, though, as you can pretty much explore freely on your way to completing your quest.

Nocturne gives you a ton of different endings and the whole experience feels more personal, as the character is more your avatar in the game as opposed to a character you're watching as an outsider. The game asks you, the player, questions about your philosophy on life, morality, conflict, religion, death, and some other pretty heavy topics. Once it has a "profile" of how you think, the game (and ending) adapts accordingly. Also, some demons won't join you if they don't agree with the way you think. Note that this "profile" really only applies to the ending, as demon conversations reset each time you start one up.

If you want something traditional and more lighthearted, go with Frontier. If you want something more unorthodox and significantly more gloom-and-doom, go with Nocturne.

I have Saga Frontier. It's not the most popular game, but I personally loved it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
