Ever played Fable? It has action, you level up by spending points you get from combat... There's theivery and magic. It's an open world and it's a fairly easy game. I think it could be a great start and if you're bored by turn-based battles.
Tales of Symphonia is really an awesome RPG too, there can be some long dialogs but the battles are quick paced and very fun. They're full of action. Plus you get grades after wining and when you beat the game you can use those points to transfer some items, make the game easier or even harder!
Also, if you pass Symphonia and like it, the sequel comes out, it will be even more enjoyable to play it, I think. ^^
But if you don't like neither, don't stress over it, doesn't make you less a gamer. I don't personally like shooters that much and I think of myself just as much a gamer as anyone on this site.
