Win 7, 64 bit, 16 gigs memory, etc. Still a decent machine anyway.
Liked Morrowind - interesting world with animals, peoples, locations., Oblivion - not as much. Most of the scenery could have been in Montanna. Skyrim. Liked the fast travel, didn't care for all of the darkness (old eyes). And to be honest, I used TIM (immortality) after getting killed by someone/something behind me one too many times. But playing the game with the 'cheat codes' was fun. Recently bought Dragon Dogma: Arisen - too dark and the start up just had my team running around fighting in the dark. Too fast and I did mention old eyes. Put it in the bit bucket. Bought Witcher 3. Is there a first person view? Haven't been able to get into it because of the third person view. Just left the starter room and quit.
So any recommendations that might fit an old guys picky interests? Thanks!!

Have you tried Risen?

Seems like the kind of game you'd enjoy, if you don't mind it being quite hard at the beginning...

If you don't mind Adventure+Puzzle, then Obduction is my reccomendation.

How old is old because I get called old all the time.

And I recommend Dragon Age.

Thanks, put it on my list. Going thru the forum looking at posts similar to mine and writing down their recs. C-64, C-128, Amiga 500, then I went IBM clones. I kept SSI in business way back when! Thanks! Thanks! Social Security type 'age"..

So, to sum up, you want:

1st-person perspective, and not 3rd person
Preferably with magic, or a similar sort of additional mechanic
Good graphics but not necessarily state-of-the-art
An art style that isn't too much like Earth

That sound right?

Borderlands 2 is a shooter, but it can be fast if you like fast, or slow if you prefer slow. It's solo or small-group multiplayer. The art style is very distinctive so you can tell from a glance whether you might like it or not. There's "magic" but not a lot, and the setting is very humorous.

Gothic 2 &3. These are hard games, so you might want to just start with cheats enabled, but they're very, very good. You'll want to adjust the gamma settings though, because parts of the game are quite dimly lit. Gothic 3 naturally has 1st person, but for Gothic 2 you would need to download a mod to enable it, IIRC.

Dues Ex: Human Revolution is an easy and obvious choice, but there are a lot of situations where the game goes into 3rd person, even though it's primarily 1st person.

Gothic 1 & 2 definitely. The third one isn't that bad as some says, not with the community patch.
You may skip Arcania, different studio and genre..

Just another old fart in the band ; ) Welcome to the forum!

Risen is quite good, but it is TPP game I'm afraid

take a peek at:

You folks are great! Writing down everyone's suggestions, already bought/downloaded several of them. Still writing down & wish listing them! So I'm down here in the Dungeon 68 degree temp, 90 degrees outside. Life is good!!

And thank you to all the posters!!

Don't forget, if you do use Steam at all, that the Steam Summer Sale should be starting up at the end of this week. So you can save some money if you're going to buy anything from Steam by just waiting a few days. GOG's summer sale, of course, just ended so anything you're buying from here is probably not going to be on sale again in the immediate future.

First person mod on nexus. Haven't tried but looks quite good.

edit: Looks like the mod doesn't work in combat mode. Your glass eye perhaps? Definitely not my wooden leg ; )
More seriously, there are youths as well. It's not a hospice for gog sake!

So a bright/colorful first person RPG with exploration/scenery focus. Tricky.

If you want to amble over to Steam, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic might hit the spot. Dishonored could be worth a try, as well.

Personally I'll always recommend Fallout 3. Whether you think a familiar but modified setting (post-apocalyptic) is still interesting is probably the deciding factor.

Bit of a perspective gamble, since it's only first person in parts, but I think in all other aspects Albion actually might be up your ally.

On the offchance you're having a Gamecube lying around, I'd add Metroid Prime on a gut feeling to the list.

I personally love Simulation Games. I love the Rollercoaster Tycoon games myself. RollerCoaster Tycoon is a series of simulation video games about building and managing an amusement park. Each game in the series challenges players with open-ended amusement park management and development, and allowing players to construct and customize their own unique roller coasters and other thrill rides.

RollerCoaster Tycoon games were first developed by Chris Sawyer and MicroProse and distributed through Hasbro Interactive. The first game in the franchise, RollerCoaster Tycoon, was later followed by multiple expansions and two sequel games, developed either by Sawyer himself or with Sawyer on-board as Executive Producer.

The game is packed with content, players can enjoy designing and building roller coasters and rides, landscaping parks and managing the staff and finances to keep their guests happy and the money flowing in.

Graphics however leave a lot to be desired but for there time the graphics were pretty good.

Game play includes:

•Coaster Construction: Create incredible roller coasters – Quickly build a pre-made design or use the intuitive piece-by-piece building tools to design and theme your own unique rides.

•Park Designer: Keep your guests happy by building gentle or wild rides, food and drink stalls, water rides, and even transport rides to take them around the park; Customize your park by building scenery, fine-tuning the landscape, and routing the footpaths.

•Park Management: Run your park’s marketing and finances to make a profit while attracting more guests; Organize your staff to keep the park running well and looking its best.

•Exciting Environments: Build the ultimate theme park in a variety of challenging environments, from the tranquility of Forest Frontiers to the bustling commerce of Megaworld Park.

•Park Scenarios: Progress through 95 classic park scenarios from RollerCoaster Tycoon® and RollerCoaster Tycoon® 2.

•Packed with Content: Includes hundreds of types of roller coasters and rides, and dozens of different shops, stalls, and facilities.

So what about Kingdom Come ( https://www.gog.com/game/kingdom_come_deliverance )

-First person

- Medieval setting

I think this fulfils your criterias.

Cheers

Mount & Blade: Warband. Not an RPG, exactly, but it hits the 1st person stuff head-on.
