I'd recommend Fallout (1997). Has a very strong story, is not too difficult, and the combat is pure turned based so you can plan all your moves. You can also talk your way out of many combat situations. It was my first RPG after 10 years of playing nothing but adventures, and I finished it without looking at a walkthrough or guide of any kind.

Divine Divinity is very good too, but the frenetic combat might put newbies off. It's very Diablo-like in this aspect.

My tuppence worth,

that is what i too originally thought about DD but so many boomers here have played DD as their first rpg and have loved it. i don't think the combat is anywhere close to being as hectic as diablo and i never agreed with the diablo comparisons it frequently gets.

i also thought fallout would have made a much better choice as a first time rpg.

[blip]. I always wanted to get DD and never did. It must be a really fun game.

If you can handle controls that take some getting used to and action-based fights, play the two Gothic games. They are the best RPGs of recent years - the sheer level of detail and the amount of options is just staggering.

Becky, you won't have any problem with it, honestly, as long as you have a computer that will play it. You're going to love it! Once you have that under your belt, you may just want to take a peek at DD, and join the party! happydance

I think Tlon is another good example of a true RPG/Adventure hybrid. Not that it's a great game or anything though.

nickie -- I have two older computers, so I'm hoping it'll run on one of them! I'll report back on my experiences with it.

I take it the Quest for Glory are point and click, which is all I can use. If so I will try it.

Thanks
