I just finished Fable: The Lost Chapters and thoroughly enjoyed it. Are there any games from the same time in the same vein (i.e. both gameplay and world-wise). My computer is incapable of playing anything newer, so from 2004 to 2005-ish is best. Price and rarity are not problems. PC games only please. Also, I have played morrowind as well and also enjoyed that.

I'm not sure exactly what you want, Like Fable, gameplay wise, or the large world RPG thing.
Either way, Morrowind. Fable was pretty much trying to hit the same audience as Morrowind anyway.

I believe Overlord came out around that time. It was a pretty good game, though sadly overlooked.

Oh, and Psychonauts.

Morrowind was the third in the Elder Scroll series, and IMO the best game of them all. It was released in 2002, but despite the lag had great graphics for its age. Be forewarned, like most of the Elder Scroll games, there's very little direction. And no leveled enemies. So careful while you're exploring at the lower levels, as you can and will run into some level 30 monsters in specific places. But running away from those baddies, getting stronger, and having your vengeance is part of the fun.

Neverwinter Nights came out somewhere in that time period. It's a DnD based game, but also a BioWare title (Baldur's Gate, KOTOR, Mass Effect, etc.) Good story, easy-to-learn gameplay, and great dialogue. Basically classic BioWare. Actually, speaking of which, if you haven't played Baldur's Gate, you really should. It's from the late 90s, but very worth it all the same. And the modding community is still active, which means lots of free extra modules you can download. And many are quite good, unlike the modding communities of so many other games.

Isn't the first Star Wars knights of the Old Republic also from around that time?
It's a lot like Fable in some ways. You also have to choose to be good or evil (which also affects your appearance just like Fable), what kind of weapon/fighting style you prefer and skills and force powers you use.
The story in this game is much better than that of Fable though.
If you don't like Star Wars, this game isn't suitable for you perhaps.

Psychonauts is awesome as well, but it's nothing like Fable.
