I find it always very difficult to recommend ComputerRPGs to others especially since I'm no longer the addict I once was. Back in the 80s I played everything. THese days, I play few and haven't bothered to finish most that I've started. W&W is the only CRPG I have played start to finish in a long time.
Check out the Wiz 8 board and see if what they are saying makes you interested. I started this one and it has many good elements but I dropped it when the mix of sci-fi and fantasy became too much for my own preferences.
My husband bought me a copy of Morrowind but I haven't even opened the box. I loved Arena. That was a fun game! Daggerfall was too big and contained dungeons that were unresolvable. I did press on in the game for a while but after I had become rich enough to buy my own mansion in town and found that having it caused the game to crash every time I went there, I uninstalled the game. From what I have heard of Morrowind, it is huge and I'm not into career RPG.
I like a game I can play and finish over a couple of weeks, not months!
Best advice is to skip the reviews and go read the boards on any particular game. You get a much better feel of what the good and bad points are to a game from the boards than you will in any review.
Hope you find something and if you do, let us know!!
