Dragon's Dogma

Coolest rpg I've seen in a while. Lots of great character creation options.

 

You get a main character and a main pawn. You also get two auxiliary pawns. The first two are permanent members of your party. The next two can rotate in and out as needed. The nifty part about this is that you can use other peoples characters in your party. And they can use yours. You get the option to rate the usefulness of other people's character concepts and select your party based on these collective ratings. This achieves a few things.

 

You can get specialized helpers for tricky missions.

You get to experiment with unique parties based on a living synergy of character concepts rather than pre-made NPC's. 

Former party members are integrated into the population of the world and can help you in various ways even when not directly under your employ. 

The feedback system gives you all sorts of ideas about how to develop your own main characters. 

Your main characters also get experience and loot from their moonlight careers and this gives you motivation to give them specializations. 

 

The combat is also unique and dynamic. If you've played a number of first person rpg's you will notice some things. If you get attacked by an animal in most games they just stand there biting you... in this game wild dogs and wolves go right for your head and knock you over if you stand there and let them. But don't worry, you can knock them down and wrestle them as well. There is a great double-team mechanic where one party member puts a monster in a headlock so another one can give him a finisher. 

 

I could go on about quests and maps and crafting and monsters and so forth but you get the idea. If you like realistic medieval fantasy games you should buy this one.
