I have a little money, and I want to get a game for my PC. I already have Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas. I'm looking for an RPG in which I can customize my character to a great extent and my actions will have a visible impact. But, really, I'm fairly open-minded. So, any suggestions?

Edit: By "a little money", I mean $20.

Here's a game that's $20.00, but precisely none of those things: Medieval II: Total War, my latest timesink. It's like chainmail, except it doesn't take 10 minutes for every turn and it isn't ungodly expensive.

I waited for the thanksgiving sale with 20 dollars and like you got skyrim legendary and fallout NV complete, I would wait for the christmas sale to snag any good deals, like penguin said total war is good and goes dirt cheap during big sales.

Game I would reccomend is a early acces in which case you build your own guy with dozens of sliders, you can end up building a squad and managing all of em, much more like base building and capturing slaves. game is called Kenshi.

I bought Kenshi. It could be better, but it is in alpha, so I'll be patient. But, damn if there ain't some crazy-ass clipping. My character walked all the way from one city to another, buried halfway in sand.

Yea development is slower than a turtle, stuff they said would be in 5 months ago still hasn't shown up like the new map, but I can wait some more, ya know why.

CAUSE I HAVE UNTURNED xD

Dragons dogma! XD 

ALL MY YES.

What are your specs?

It's a refurbished HP elitebook with 8 GB of RAM and 298 GB of Hard Drive space (271 free). I5 processor. Nvidia Quadro GPU.

... Mine only had 3.4 GB of RAM, and 127 GB of Hard drive space total....and comes with Windows Vista as the newest and latest thing.

You make me feel so outdated. XD 

(li'l icon that pops up when I can't connect to the internet... I believe that make this thing officially a dinosaur.)

Best game, right there.

I just recently got this computer from someone with whom my dad does business.

Edit:Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is a dinosaur. Not much else it could me, besides an extremely malformed chicken.

Toucan with arms.

Well, they could be clipped, twisted wings, rather than arms.

Edit: It could also be a poorly adjusted bowtie.

Only an i5?

Yes?

I know the bare minimum about computer hardware, and the laptop in question was certainly a good deal, even if it isn't top-of-the-line.

ARMA 2! :D Well, I advise only getting that if you're a military nut like I am. Surprisingly, it's not too hard to run. But it's not an RPG...

I'd wait for a big steam sale and buy what you want then. 

Arma 2 goes down to 2.00$  during sales xD they won't budge arma 3 though, the bastards lol.

Secrets of Grindea, to be hipster and all.

Don't waste your money on a fucking gimmick. 

Because a charmingly written homage with a prominent game mechanic is never worth your money. Portal was never fun. Not for one second.

Never got into Portal either.

I'd suggest Wasteland 2, but it seems to be a bit more than 20 dollars currently, so I'll just suggest getting the entire Geneforge Saga.

Portal's entertainment value comes mostly from yelling at each other in Multiplayer and Valve's sense of humor. However, I have played Grindea, and I have to say it's also fun in the gameplay department. It's a very well-made, free-flowing zelda clone with a diverse set of skills, strats, and builds. From what I've seen, there isn't really that much grinding, or I just haven't noticed it either because it's fun because the rest of the game holds itself that well.

Still angry about SK, or any LoZ for that matter?

Maybe Half Life 3?

Get out. 

During the Black Friday sale, I bought myself Dragon Age: Origins for $14 or so. Apparently, it's an amazing RPG and has some nice features to it. Doesn't require a high end computer, and just about fits most of your requirements. Though the controls are kind of awkward, I'm sure it'll be quite easy once you get the hang of it. Voice acting is solid so far, and even though I've only played 8 hours or so, it's been a fun ride so far.

But it's ugly as fuck.

Is it "ugly as fuck" in regard to graphics or in regard to content (i.e., gritty)?

Graphics. It's more of a joke though. I'm the spoiled guy who bought the entire Witcher Series as they came out. Dragon Age actually looks alright on the higher settings and the environment and atmosphere itself is very beautiful.

Dragons age is on my wishlist, The newer versions I hear were the shit, but i dont know why steam hasnt put them on the store page.

It's probably because DA is published by EA. It's probably sitting somewhere on the dusty shelves of EA's own digital software store Origin.

ah man xD i only use orgin to snag whatever is free for the time, i think i had the sims 2 in my library put i eneded up forgetting my password as I didnt use it at all.

An awesome game I just completed is Borderlands 2. It has RPG elements, but not really customization other than skin changes and head changing. But in all, a 10/10 game within the Shoot and Loot elements the game has. An amazing story, as well. GET IT.

Both of those look awesome, but I don't have any money to spare right now and probably won't for a while. During the after Christmas sale, in an attempt to disassociate myself from reality enough to dull the emotional pains of learning that I am nothing to my family but a resource, I bought:

-Mount and Blade: Warband

-Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword

-The Witcher

-Mass Effect

-Mass Effect 2

-Fallout 3

-Morrowind

-KOTOR

-KOTOR 2

-Jedi Academy

-Hatoful Boyfriend

-LeadWerks (standard version; not a game, but a pretty neat-ass engine)

I thought Skyrim was off for super cheap, wasn't it?  It runs pretty nicely on lower-end systems.

I already have Skyrim. Now, why in the Hell do you keep dissing my computer, man?

I assume everyone somehow isn't able to run any AAA game before I assume otherwise.

Oh, well, that's nice, I guess.

The only thing my new computer can't seem to play is Fallout 3.

Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star

I wanted to play the original first, so I could witness firsthand what it is like to get butchered and gut-raped by a partridge in a text-based dating sim.

Delete warband from your library, man. Save yourself. Seriously, you could literally disappear for fucking months. It's a wonder I'm still here, actually.

Best modding communities ever, Persino put like three hundred more hours. Did anyone manage to get a Clash of Kings to run?

Duuuuuuude, KOTOR is fucking dope. Mass Effect 2 is pretty good, too. You might not enjoy Fallout 3 if you prefer questing, as it only has about 56 or so quests but a fuckload of locations. Also, I advise you download the Fallout Wanderer's Edition mod for Fallout 3, it adds so much to an already amazing game, but it also makes it hard af.

I've heard good things  about Sunless Sea.
