For the PC. Not oblivion as cba to upgrade PC to play it just yet.

I've played and enjoyed Diablo I and II, FF series, DAoC, NWN so i'm looking for games like any of these.

Thanks in advance.

My all-time favourite is Fallout and Fallout 2, set in a world after it was blasted to bits with nuclear bombs. Huuuge area to travel through, great character-development, funny easter-eggs ( and if you have the uncensored version - blood 'n guts! :p ) This game has turn-based combat.

I also loved Arcanum, it's reasonably similar to Fallout but in a totally different setting - a land where you have both technology and magic, but those 2 totally collide. Humongous as well, so good for hours of game time. This game can have both turn-based combat and real-time combat.

Both terrific RPG's, hope that helps! :)

Legend of Mir is pretty easy to play and doesnt need much graphics

Guild Wars is fairly low spec too

for content over graphics, fallout 1 + 2 are immense, if rather dark
also cant beat the baldurs gate series + expansion packs, if you "complete" them they are huge
(the icewind dale games were a bit small and crap)

Get Thief: Dark Project 1 - 2 - 3
(first one is the best, although it´s a bit out-dated now)

Play it in the dark with headphones on. Best gaming experience you can get. :)

The 4th one was absolute crap :(

Ooh...... and HoMM V is due out this year with 3d graphics etc ,but based more on 2 and 3 for the gameplay :)

For a single player rpg you could try Divine Divinity (the follow-up was a bit naff) .A huge game with nice graphics similar to the Baldur's Gate series :)

Fallout 1 and 2 - if you are a story buff
Fallout: Tactics - if you like action more than in-depth storylines and roleplaying

And Day of the tentacle ^^

I really enjoyed SpellForce, tho it's a swine getting the expansions to it. I believe SpellForce 2 is out soon.

Anyways SF1 is a mixture of RTS and RPG, a bit like Baldurs Gate meets Settlers or Age of Empires :)

A lot of the best single player RPGs are years old, if you can stand 256 colour graphics then try:-

Ultima 6/7/8 (7's my favourite, great plot, fantastic world, the kinda detail you dont get once you start modeling stuff in polygons).

Dungeon Master (The original) - fantasic atmosphere, pure dungeon crawl.

If you want something newer I would advise:-

Baldurs Gate / Neverwinter nights - Great adaptation of D&D rules.

If you want something really great then try and find

Soulbringer (released 2000ish on various labeles including Black Isle), Why? Well lets just say I was lead programmer on that one :)
