Oh good grief, I forgot about that. Watching your character's health drop with each swipe by your opponent as your wrist does that twitchy little twist with lock pick in hand. lol


I feel a lot more like I do now, then when I first got here

OMG, that is so funny! Can't say I've ever tried to defend myself with a lockpick - YET THAT IS!

Any ideas would be extremely helpful. I'm flying completely blind.

These are available from GOG and have a strong adventure component:

Quest for Glory
Quest for Infamy


GOG has configured them to play on nearly any computer.

You might also want to check out YouTube playthroughs of a few RPG's to get an idea of what they're like.

One thing to consider is whether you want fantasy or science fiction.

Check the "DarkSide" game list for more ideas

I would recommend Oblivion (The Elderscrolls IV) since it had a few adventure like quests for example going inside a painting or some puzzles. Skyrim has good puzzles too in Nord Caves but it's a huge world for a beginner. Gothic 1 is good too & also Witcher 1.
