Any decent Wild West RPGs out there? Any reason why there hasn't been one?

Red Dead Redemption is the closest I can think of, though it's not really an RPG. This is the problem with the good RPG developers like Obsidian and InXile right now. They are all working on fantasy games. Someone make a Fallout replacement (Wasteland 3) or a space game or something. Enough of this fantasy stuff. I've got so many magic wands and mage spells I don't know what to do with them.

Wasn't the game Gun "?" about the same as Red dead? Remeber trying it out at my friends house many years ago.

Remeber thinking it was ok at least. Was about to get it on steam but i have such a huge backlog right now so i would probably never play it.

I'm having that problem also. I have to get through Underrail, Stasis, Shadorun Returns/Dragonfall, and whatever looks good on Steam summer sale.
 
I'd like there to be more historical RPGs in general. There are so many cool periods of history that I'd love to roleplay in: Alexander's campaigns in Asia, the fall of Rome (both the republic and the empire), the Viking era, the 100 years war, Revolutionary/Napoleonic France, Civil War era America, WW1, WW2, Vietnam and the Cold War would all make great settings for RPGs, instead we get a torrent of fantasy and sci-fi settings, which is better than nothing, I guess.
 
Russian Civil War is my dream... it could work so well. We have the Communists, fractured White Armies, peasant Green Armies and nationalists.
 
Yeah I know a little about the period. Russian history in general is interesting, I'd love an RPG that shows Russia throughout its entire history, from Genghis Khan, to the Tsars, to WW1, to the Civil War, to WW2, to the Cold War, to the dissolving of the USSR and the Red Square revolution. GIVE IT TO ME INDIE DEVS. :evil:

Too much. A RPG on the Russian Civil War is a good choice, because you have a lot of anarchy and chaos, moral choices and different factions to fight for.

I would call that a fantasy western:
A Unique “Weird” West World: Explore a world where Western legends meet demons, arcane rituals and satanic cults and where the dead can walk the Earth again. For a price.

Although it is better than nothing I would say.

I would love a cRPG set in the beginning of the Age of Discovery. Before anyone really knew about the "New World" and our character would be in the first ship to try and find land or something.
If we would make it, then it would be interesting trying to communicate with the native people, which didn't talk our language, trying to learn from them, teach them, wage war against them, trying to survive and so on.
 
is there any decent RPG that utilize modern engine and not pre-rendered graphic? i already know about Larian's Divinity and CDPR former developer rpg (7 days gone.. something? pls CMIW)

Guns a good game but unfortunately it's a One-play-through-wonder.

Edit: actually... Maybe I'm just remembering the after game sucking.

Wild West, Feudal Japan and Aztec Empire are settings I'd love to see done specifically as RPGs.
