If you can look me in the face and say Final Fantasy games are just interactive movies having played FFXII I will become visibly angry. This game has fucktons of gameplay. Also:
--- Quote ---The combat tends to be mostly about throwing cool looking spells at the enemy and doing damage, and healing up when you get low. Maybe you occasionally cast a protective spell that lasts way too short to really be that useful. And the difficulty of the enemies scales up at the same rate that you level up, so the fights are pretty much all the same difficulty the entire game.

This has always been true of console RPGs. Seriously.
Scytale:
Vampire the Masquerade : Bloodlines is probably the best modern RPG I've played. It has a good story line and fair bit of re-playability as well as really good graphics (Half Life 2 Engine).
It's not terribly combat oriented until the end of the game, up till then it's mainly dialogue and diplomacy (the other D&D :P ). In a lot of the quests you get more experience points if you take the diplomatic / stealth route rather then trying to kill everything.
In fact I prefer my computer RPG's to be more thinking and less combat. One of my favorite RPG's ever is Zork Nemesis, has a really incredible dark atmosphere and the puzzles can be quite challenging. The storyline is really good as well. I wish this genre wasn't really dead now.
The extra letter:
Give me Fallout 3 (a sequel befitting the name, that is) or give me death.

yes! thank you. this game has found a great balance. in fact, all troika games had that. it's so sad that they are gone b/c what a great developer they were. i mean, they made arcanum people. and i absolutely love arcanum (possibly my favorite game ever). all their games had a fantastic story but also a huge level on replayability, a fantastic open ended world, and some of the deepest character customization i have ever seen in a game, if not the deepest. these are the kind of games i wish were released a lot more often b/c, frankly, they all trump games like FF in pretty much every way. they have the great stories but they managed to incorporate those stories into a game that has what can truly be called role playing.

Oblivion is pretty good. It's definitely got replay value and the story line was good I thought. I especially liked Mankar Cammoran's paradise, even though those infinite dinosaur things kind of pissed me off after a while. PS does anyone here have the expansion and is it worth buying? Probably won't because I'm waiting on STALKER but just curious.
