Best PC RPG

While many gamers look back with nostalgia on the early days of gaming, the role playing game genre (RPGs) has certainly evolved in a number of ways, many of which offer not only visual and gameplay advantages, but also advancements from a design perspective.

Here are a few of the more striking additions to the genre which have been released within the last year, as well as what about them makes them such standout examples.

Looking for a game with these features.. Leveling of course. the ability to start/build your own house. village, castle, community.  Be a leader/king/duke/baron. Even control large armies, if enemy near bye has gotten to aggressive. A.I. would have to be pretty descent with desire to control and prosper itself. would also like  the ability to control... Read More and interact with your minions/servents/city folk in that community etc. with decisions that have consequences.  Expansion capabilities, including larger worlds/Maps, Endless possibilites.  Looking for the ultimate Rpg game lol Minimize
