ChaunceyK: Depending on what kind of RPG experience you're looking for right now, I'd recommend one of the two following....
RPG-lite - Might & Magic 1-5 (although I'd suggest skipping 1 & 2 because they are extraordinarily difficult). Not a lot of rp'ing as far as decision making, but these are turn-based movement/combat games. Mow the land of enemies, complete quests, and enjoy a really solid fantasy/sci-fi story.
Hardcore RPG - Arcanum. When I say "hardcore" I mean in the rp'ing aspect, not difficulty (that much is adjustable). The character customization/progression is amazingly diverse, you can be good or evil (or neutral) and still finish the game, combat can be set to real time or turn-based, its a sandbox world with many quests & sub-quests that you can choose to do (or ignore), and it has an amazing story (just be forewarned, you will want to use the unofficial patch to this game...instructions are in the Arcanum forum here on GOG).
Now...I'm not trying to sway you one way or the other. However, I have gifted Arcanum many, many times in the past and if you decide you really want it, I will gift it to you too. Why am I making this offer only for Arcanum? Because I love the game that much and gifting it now & then at random to someone who wants it is what I do. All I ask is that you let me know BEFORE the sale ends so I can get it for you at the sale price.
