And perhaps Baldur's Gate.. Those four games are up there as the best RPGs ever. I consider Bloodlines up there, as well, but it's an FPS. But as for 'play style'.. And not awesome story and RPG depth-ness.. There's tons of 'top down RPG' games around.. Mostly based on DnD.. NWN, etc.Games similar to Arcanum or Fallout series?
Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to try Planescape then. I've already played through Bloodlines and found it to be fun after all the major bugs were fixed.
all i can think of is After Fall made by a polish dev team, its not out yet but from what ive seen its fallout in and around Germany, Poland, and Russia. Looks great and the story seem very good, cant wait, will have to probably special order it though
Ahhhh, good ol Fallout and Arcanum haha. yea I would definately reccomend Baldurs Gate Series, the entire thing and Torment as well. Torment is one of the best RPGs ever concieved!
Torment, Darklands, Planet's Edge, Wasteland, Ultima VII
Oh yeah.. Divine Divinity! And some really old games are interesting and different from many of todays.. Try Dark Sun! Really old, but cool
Another game with an almost identical gameplay style is Silent Storm. It's less of an RPG and more of a squad-based tactical combat game, but the turn-based combat is as good as, if not better than, Arcanum and Fallout.It's more like Fallout, but it has fully destructible environements, allowing for a hell of a lot more freedom gameplay-wise. Want to stop a group of guards from coming down some stairs to attack you? Shoot out the stairs. Want to get into the basement? Detonate some explosives on the ground. It's awesome.
I've only played Fallout briefly, but it reminded me a bit of Jagged Alliance. I didn't get into it though so I can't say for sure.

You sure you played Fallout and not Fallout: Tactics? Because Fallout has little in comparison to Jagged Alliance.
I will recommend you Lionheart. It is a good RPG and has perks and a lot of skills. (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/lionheart/index.html?tag=result;title;1)

Try Silent Storm - it's a hidden gem. Very similar tactics used like Fallout 1/2 (ie turned based). It's a WW2 game is a small twist. I'm playing it at the moment and it's great.
A couple of other top down RPGs I'd suggest that are a lot of funare Sacred, Divine Divinity, and Nox.
Silent Storm is great, but it's a Turn Based Tactical Strategy... like Jagged Alliance, X-Com and Fallout Tactics... Fallout it self is a RPG... not many games like Fallout 1 and 2... The Fall: Last Days of Gaia looks good, but it only seems to be out in Germany:( Check http://www.the-fall.com/ What is it about Fallout you like? Maybe we can suggest something with similar game mechanics that might be from a differant Genre all together?Otherwise you might just want to wait for Fallout 3 like the rest of it... made by the same lot that made Oblivion, can only be a good thing:)
Definitely Planescape Torment, and if you like that sort of thing, Baldur's Gate and maybe Icewind Dale as well.Will have to find my Arcanum discs. It was great fun, but i never got round to completing it.

'omg wow' factor in it via the storyline, except for maybe one or two plot twists.. (which isn't much compared to the full game) But it's still nice.. ish.. Not much of an 'ending' though, but I didn't mind it personally

It has no connections whatsoever to the Fallout being made by Bethesda.
