Can I Get Some Good Single Player RPG Recommendations Please?

I've been looking around for ages now for a decent RPG single player game.

Here's the RPG's I've played & enjoyed:

- Oblivion
- Morrowind
- Fable: The Lost Chapters
- Runescape
- Guild Wars



Here's the RPG's I've purchased & played for maybe an hour or so then uninstalled:

- Gothic 3: EXTREMELY laggy even on low/medium settings & actually looked similar to Two Worlds which I hated.

- Two Worlds: First impressions were basically just UGH! I hated the look of this game right from the start. The graphics (to me they looked like PS1 graphics), the way the player moves, everything.

- Neverwinter Nights 2: I installed this earlier and played it for around 2 hours & then just gave up. It is far too difficult for me to understand and I know I could take a couple of days to get used to it, but to me it just wasn't that enjoyable really, plus I hated the way you have to constantly adjust the camera.

- Overlord:

- Silverfall: See above


So as you can see, I've tried several RPG's.

I didn't really know where else to look so I decided to come here and ask what some decent RPG's are.



The things I look for in an RPG are:

- Decent Graphics
- Gameplay is VERY important, infact it is probably the most important factor
- A fairly long storyline
- A levelling system. To me this is very important as I like to see the way my character progresses along the way.
- Ability to trade & buy different armour/weapons.
- It needs to be fairly straightforward & easy to get used to. It doesn't have to be TOO easy & plain but Neverwinter Nights 2 was just too complex for me to be honest. It seemed like more of a chore than a game.
- They need to be fairly modern. I don't really want to play a game such as Diablo 2 etc because it's pretty old and although it has a good rating & reviews, I can't really see myself enjoying it that much.
- Single Player



PC Specs:

OS - Windows XP Pro
CPU - Intel Pentium D 2.8Ghz
Ram - 2gb DDR 2
Video Card - 256mb Nvidia Geforce 7600GT


And that's basically it, so if anybody could recommend some really good RPG's I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot

 

System Shock 2 (somewhat old but AWESOME)
Dungeon Runners (similar to guild wars as in it can be single or multiplayer)
Dark Messiah (i really like this one)

 

Single Player RPG's? If you like the idea of Diablo 2, but not the age, try Sacred Underworld. The sequel is in development as well.

Temple of Elemental Evil is fun if you're into D&D. Some people have to patch it to make it playable, I've always run it unpatched for best results.

Fallout 1&2 are good. I prefer the second, since it's more polished, with a less brutal learning curve.

Any of the Holy Trinity from Black Isle are good. (Baldur's Gate 1&2, Icewind Dale 1&2, Planescape Torment.)

Titan's Quest is supposed to be good, but I have yet to put hands on a copy. I'm not surprised you didn't enjoy Overlord, seeing as it's not an RPG. It's closer to a realtime tactics game. A better game for such a thing might be the original Final Fantasy Tactics, or Tactics Ogre if you can find it. Close strategic battles, with large amounts of RPG elements.

 

OOOO yes! titan quest is awesome!!!!

 

Hmmm... I take it that's a vote for Titan Quest. I'll have to pick it up when I get my new computer to work.
