Lost Odyssey is a pretty deep game. The combat it pretty standard for a turn-based rpg. But some of the main characters are (not a spoiler) immortal, and they'll occasionally have a memory that triggers a reading section. Those are worth playing the game for, some of them are legit the best written things I've encountered in a videogame. Lot's of meditations on loss, impermanence, beauty, etc.

New Vegas by a long shot. FO4 has cleaner gunplay mechanics, but that doesn't come close to making up for the shite story. FO4 is most fun played as a dungeon crawling, shooter-looter. I put well over 100 hours in, doing basically just that. But they fucked the RPG elements hardcore in it--less dialogue options, less range to define your character, just less of everything RPG.
