Fallout: New Vegas is an excellent sci-fi RPG from 2010 that puts you into the boots of a courier in post-nuclear war wasteland Las Vegas.
It's a great open world game that is very similar to Skyrim in many respects (aside from the radioactively mutated ghouls, of course).
Check out this Gamespot video review for further info on the game.
