Looking for New Game [RPG]

I kind of understand where OP is coming from. But yea, it's a bit of a weird complaint. I'd suggest dark souls series.
 
That is genuinely the weirdest complaint I've ever seen about a game. You can walk in Deus Ex, it changes as he runs, it changes as he walks up and down stairs. Hell it even goes into third person view for a lot of things.
its not the that you cannot walk its the way you walk. if you stood still and then walk your instantly at full speed with no responsive with all other games listed you slowly get to walking speed & you feel the responsive from the ground. when rotating you gradually turn in other games in Dues ex & Skyrim its like your get:
Frame 1 & 10 but not frame 2-9. your in one location then instantly in the next.

All Bethesda games are like this As is Dues Ex to some extent. To me their Camera Simulators not A real Game experience.

has Dark souls changed since the original? when i played the original combat mechanics were a bit odd to say the least

But you're fine being able to walk around carrying ten guns and pulling them out of nowhere...

It's like saying you won't play half life because he pulls a gun out instantly rather than it taking a realistic amount of time.

its not realism, its the feel. with dues ex & skyrim it feels like your watching through a camera not like your the person in control. thats my point

with dues ex you could watch via twitch and get the exact same feeling, nothing
 
Well except for the part about not being able to move around, yes it's exactly the same watching through twitch as playing...

I'm not sure who you think is in control if you aren't. I press forwards I move forward, I press jump, I jump.

your not understanding my point, your looking at it too literally. when you press forward you move forward yes, but you don't FEEL like your doing it. the camera just moves with no response or feedback to you that you personally walked their. no feedback from footsteps or vibration. when you move in skyrim you Always move the same distance every time you press W

Skyrim
you Press W and you go from 0 Meters to 0.5M every time. with no foot feedback or slight speed up

GTA/Witcher
you press W and you go from 0 Metres to 0.2M on your first step then speed up to walking speed to the next press of W you move from 0.2 to 0.5 Meters.

Skyrim/Dues EX is like old games Your either Walking or not your not ON/OFF

GTA/Witcher/Overwatch
Your not much more control & feedback & the gradual curve.

Either way if you can understand that, then im sorry for you. Agnes understand from my first point.


currently looking into Divinity sin & dark souls
 
I get what you mean but considering you've sunk 400 hours into a game with probably the worst feeling movement animations, terrain response, horse handling and combat of all the games I've played lately, is this really that much of a problem? I'm replaying it now but after Horizon it just feels like an ambitious indie game in this regard.

I think you'd be able to look past such problems in other games after a while. If not, then there aren't many games I can suggest as Dark Souls 3 doesn't have brilliant feeling movement either and you've already dismissed Mass Effect and Deus Ex.

the standard movement mode on Witcher i agree. Alternative is fast responsive & gives perfect feedback.

i tried Mass Effect trial put in 3 Hours. I didn't like the combat, the movement mechanics were not to bad. i hated the control scheme & the bullet sponges of the enemies
 
I tried both but it didn't do much for me. I don't mean the responsiveness but the general/look of the animations/movement and collision detection is janky and floaty but nevermind.

I think you'd be the happiest with Shadow of War but that's still some way off. Other than that, only Dark Souls 3 comes to mind. I think it's worth it as the game is a bit different than your standard RPG because of the challenge and the fact that it doesn't really hold your hand. Also, pretty nice world/lore that's told almost entirely through the bits you pick up yourself.

EDIT:

Here's the tutorial boss from Dark Souls 3, the combat and music are quite epic:

I think this video is better, it's only 480p but shows the lock-on and fighting mechanics better

EDIT 1000: except that it's choppy as hell;p

yeah Dark souls series you will enjoy.
Divinity original sin 1 + 2 (quasi real/turn based)
Shadow of Mordor (get it very cheap these days)
Dragons Dogma
Tyranny (turn based tho)
 
Said it before, but I feel like you just ignored it because it's not on PC.

But, Zelda Breath of the Wild is absolutely incredible
 
Have you tried VR Smogsy? Admittedly its not for everyone (some people get motion sickness or have trouble with the images) and it'll be a while before we see a full AAAAAAA game but its on its way.

The travel in various games is limited (walk forward and you either hit your window/radiator/wall or fall over face first which is why its teleport style at the moment) but at least when you turn around, its you moving at your own speed. Some great games out there and the immersion is very impressive.
 
have you played dragon age: origins??

still by far the best and closest to what you like imo.

dragons dogma was an ok action rpg but i found it very limited in its combat.
