    No offence but I dont like such cheap games on the Internet that you can play online. Just give me Oblivion and I am happy :)

    oblivion bored me, personally. i'm not really an rpg gamer though. but yeah, games like oblivion have a plot that you follow and eventually there is an end. there are other side quests and stuff you can pick up to prolong the gameplay. it's not for everyone.

    Pomme if you want (in my opinion) the best RPG. Get The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. It came before Oblivion.

    The Elder Scrolls is a series of games that forces you to make your character. You decide his strengths and weaknesses. Sounds like an ordinary RPG right? Not quite. This game is so indepth it's unbelivable. The game is huge chances are without a guide you'd never find/complete all the quests in the game. I have a tendancy to beat games in less than a week. Usually taking 2-3 days. Now this game on the other hand I played it straight for a month with a guide and I didn't even touch the surface of the game. Not to mention there are mods that you can use to expand the game drastically. It's an older game but people are constantly uping the graphics and gameplay of this great game. Oblivion on the other hand is a great game for graphics but I hear it doesn't have the same depth that Morrowind is famous for.

    If your computer can't play it and you have an xbox buy it. It's worth it and it's cheap :).

    If you can't get it done in HelbreathUSA THEN DONT PLAY AT ALL. (cause it's illegal of course)

    PS: Yes I had about any item you could want on HBUSA and Yes i was lvl 180

    lol, my friend spent around 1 month playing that game, and he was only doing side missions... I think its safe to guess that its a pretty long game

    its more like 15 minutes to make a char.

    And yeah, the game's as long as you want it to be. It's like a sandbox thing basically; you just do whatever you feel like doing (or you can do the primary quest if you want).

    Takeru Kobayashi can eat 53 3⁄4 hot dogs in 12 minutes, so it is a long time

    Takes 9-11 months to reach max Level on "OFFICAL" servers such as I did. Private servers are ok to Pk on but all in all it gets boring.

    I will say helbreath does have one of the best pvp systems that I've played in the past 7 years or so. And that is covering many mmos.

    Morrowind i admit is a great game. The different cityscapes were awesome. Superb atmosphere if a bit soulless (esp fedexquest system) but it has a unique charm. Tons of mods for it. However Oblivion is moddable as well so anything you dont like about it it should be possible to mod?
