Need a good Action RPG (or just plain old RPG)

I've never been a big fan of RPG's in general, but after being persuaded to play Mass Effect by a friend, I caught the bug.
 
So far I've played through Mass Effect, Fallout 3 and just recently The Witcher. What I enjoyed the most about all of these was the option to focus on real time action. Hell, in Mass Effect you could pretty much have the computer handle most of the RPG elements and play it like a FPS. 
 
I've also seen a few videos of Diablo 3 and I'm loving what I see so far. But Diablo 2 is just too old for me to go back and play.
 
Are there any other recent great (preferably on the PC) that I've missed and should go back and play?
Ta.

Check out Sacred 2 if you're interested in Diablo 3. There is also a game coming in the pretty near future that is like Diablo 3 although I can't recall the name.
 
Update: The game is Torchlight. It comes out near the end of October. You might want to check it out.

If you haven't played it, I know it's older, but Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is on Steam now.  You can play that RPG as an action game or a more traditional turn-based RPG.  It's well worth you time, if you've missed it. 
 
And don't forget that Borderlands is out next month.

I don't know how far back you're willing to go, but there's a million billion good rpg's on the SNES that are free.... (if you like using em*******)

Chrono Trigger and Persona 3.
Those two are the only JRPGs I have ever finished.

Seriously, Diablo 2 doesn't show it's age much. It still plays the best out of any action RPG on the market and apart from the low resolution it still looks alright. Go and play it.
 
Neverwinter Nights is great if you like D&D 3.0's ruleset, great offical campagin and a huge community of excellent user made modules.
 
Planescape Torment is amazing, but very slow paced and the actual combat is... archaic at best, infuriating at worst; however the writing and plot more than make up for it, the best realised RPG world ever.
 
Valkyria Chronicles is awesome, a very original blend of SRPG and thrid person shooter. If you've got a PS3 pick this up.
 
Chrono Trigger is one of, if not the best RPG on the SNES, check it out.

If you enjoyed Fallout 3, you owe it to yourself to check out Oblivion(unless you already have).

I'm playing Chrono Trigger on the DS right now, and absolutely love it.
 
If you liked Fallout 3, you could try out Oblivion.

Demon's Souls comes out very soon.  Its a fantastic ARPG, if you dont mind a bit of punishment.  Actually I'm gonna go play some right now.

If you like Marvel super heroes you can always try Marvel Ultimate Alliance. It's diablo II with super-heroes, at bargain price. 

As someone else said it really is worth giving Diablo 2 a go, it doesn't show its age far as much as you'd think and it really is the most addictive thing I've ever played. I lost months to it over the years.
Deus Ex has a lot of RPG trappings but it might be a bit old for you at this stage, it really is one of the best games ever. A little more current but unfortunately not as good is Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, a first person rpg with a fantastic story and great voice acting.
I'm assuming that if Diablo 2 is too old that the infinity engine games like Baldurs Gate? They are amazing games and well worth playing.

Some people didn't understand the concept of "action" if they suggest things with D&D rules or similar :d

No, no it doesn't... It's all real-time wasd movement and dodging and clickety click Diablo-esque attacks. Nothing like tabletop (P&P?).

Get a DS and play about a million things.

He also just said a plain old RPG would also do which is where the old D&D stuff fits in.

" Titan Quest + Immortal Throne, dude. It's like Diablo 2, only it isn't ten years old. "

Isn't System Shock 2 like an RPG? 
FPSRPG? 
 
I dunno...  
:(

Oblivion, Morrowind, Persona 4, heard Persona 3 was good, and barring some terrible ending, (No, I still haven't finished it) I've had fun playing Persona 2.

Jade Empire's a fantastic game.

Diablo 2 still holds up well today, if you haven't played it before, try it.

Play some fucking Arkanum.

Theres a game that just got kick started called sui generis check it out its amazing.

That's some necro!

assassin's creed 4 is really fun
