Question...
I have been craving a hardcore fantasy title for a few days now. A long time ago I played the likes of
Diablo 2 and
Ultima Online (nearly a decade ago), and I'm craving that kind of "immersive" fantasy game (without it being
World of Warcraft). I don't really care what style of game, although I am leaning against an MMORPG, simply due to the amount of time it would require. I can be swayed, however. I don't care if it's hack and slash, first person, third person isometric view, etc. I just want an old school RPG with a decent story and beautiful, hard fantasy locales. I'm talking dark forests, menacing caves, glowing mushrooms, fairies, and all the other things that make those hard fantasy games so great. I care first and foremost about the environment, I guess.

I'm leaning towards the old
Icewind Dale games or
Baldur's Gate. I have an old PC that can't handle the likes of Skyrim, Diablo III, etc., so that's something else for me to consider.
