Dragon's Dogma

You can call this game Capcom taking a stab at the Elder Scrolls

Summary
During its raid on the fishing village of Casadeis, a dragon approaches the hero of the story, telling him/her that he/she is the “chosen one” and proceeds to tear out his/her heart. With his/her heart ripped out, the hero’s death is inevitable. However, through some unknown miracles, the hero is saved from certain death. Now revived as an “enlightened one”, he/she is destined to find and kill the dragon that stole his/her heart.

Features
One of the coolest features about this game is the grab function: The player can use this feature for more advanced attack means. For example, the main character can either grab on to a giant griffon's legs and attack it directly, or climb up to reach the top of its head for a more lethal blow. "In a lot of action games, with big enemies the tendency is just to have you hacking away at the shins. You don't get the full effect of fighting a giant boss," Itsuno, the director of Dragon's Dogma says. "With this game you can climb all over it. If it has a body part, you can attack it." The ability to climb enemies has drawn comparisons to Shadow of the Colossus.

Party
While the player's party is exploring the world, the three party members who accompany the main character will be controlled by artificial intelligence, but the player can issue orders like "Go", "Help" and "Come to them". One of the party members is a non-playable character (NPC) and belongs to the main character's world. The other two party members are NPCs borrowed from other players by connecting online, but the game will not require an internet connection. However, the player can only borrow the NPCs from other players, not their main character. The party members will talk, seek out the main character's help, and will even provide information about enemies. The player will need to work on strengthening not only the main character but the party members also.

The game ranges from 30 to 100 hours if you would like to flesh out the game.
