I'm looking for some hopefully not hybridized RPGs(ie no action) to play, but I can live. My preference is a focus on character development and ideas, like Ultima, Planescape: Torment, or Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. But I also like silly stuff such as Wasteland or Fallout.

If you think you might be more interested in the combat side of things, check out Knights of the Chalice. The demo is very hefty and will kick your ass. =) If you stick with it and beat the demo you should know whether you would enjoy the full game.

The price tag of the full game is very hefty, too, but it's a hefty game. Bought it last year and really really enjoyed it, you have to think very hard to win. It's purely turn-based, and definitely an Indie RPG, which is why I suggest it. It's not as developed in the story or conceptual department as it is in the battle mechanics department, but that is because the battle mechanics are extremely deep.

Finally, I want to say that the other awesome thing is that virtually each battle is unique. Like, there are very few situations where you are like, "oh, another 6 trolls to hack through." Instead, it's constantly throwing unique scenarios at you that really do require creative solutions. I really can't emphasize this enough. Virtually every battle requires it's own unique strategy, some took me days to realize winning strategies for.

another nice rpg which i plan on reviewing for the frontpage after i finish it: http://www.spellshard.crithit.org/ -- it's an ohrrpgce game, but one of the best ones, and it's made with the latest ohrrpgce tech (which makes that, unlike most early ohrrpgce games, it can run in a window, has sound effects, has some nice animations, etc.) -- it was also in production for 9 years before release, giving it one of the longest dev cycles i know of

it's in the style of old dragon warrior / final fantasy games, so if you liked breath of death and cthulu saves the world, you'd like this game (although i think this game is even better than those)

I've also just posted about the RPG I'm leading a team on. It features an infinite world and procedural item/quest system.

It's played in a classic Wizardry style, but has modern day graphics.
