Any good PC RPGs on the horizon?

[Grog]

It seems like a really long time since a good PC RPG has come out. NWN2 was good, but I'm trying to remember the last PC RPG before that that I bought new and liked.... SW:KOTOR? Has it really been that long?

I'm not interested in MMOs, so I've mainly been replaying old games and playing stuff on the PS2. Are there any upcoming single player PC RPGs I should be looking forward to?

Unfortunately, no. All PC RPGs apparently must be MMOs these days.
XBox 360 has Mass Effect coming out for it soon. But for the PC...
Wwwwooooooooooo (that's the empty sound of the wind through the powersupply).

There's an expansion pack for Oblivion (Shivering Isles). I'm not sure whether that fits your question though.

Maybe "The Witcher". It apparently licenses the engine for it from Bioware. Seems more of an action RPG like Jade Empire though, in a modern day setting

I'm pretty sure the Witcher isn't in a modern day setting. The character is a monster hunter running around in a medieval type world, holding a big two-handed sword.

DragonAge or Dragons Age by Bioware....it's making gradual progress, but it's coming, and it's for PC, and it sounds really cool..

Checking Wikipedia, you are correct. I was just going by the screenshots, which I thought looked modern, if a little run down.

I take it back. I forgot about Dragon Age. I really have no idea when that's coming out though. Probably not for another year at least.

Dragon Age PC RPG - no official ETA yet
Mass Effect - 360 RPG / PC ver unknown - ETA May 2007
Alien vs. Predator - Next Gen Console/PC? by Obsidian - No ETA yet

This, of course, omits reference to expansions and premium modules for NWN2.

So basically, it's Dragon Age or bust (since I'm not interested in MMOs)? Yikes. I can't remember the last time the CRPG picture was this bleak.
