You could try Baldur's Gate 2, I know from my own experience that it work pretty well on Window 7. And a remake will get out this summer too.

I tried Baldur's Gate 2 years ago on my old XP. I got it used from Amazon & it had no instruction pamphlet & I could not get out of the ####ing tutorial! :x

I don't know "steam", it is something I keep hearing about. A game engine of some sort?

I would strongly suggest trying Baldur's Gate 2 again.

It`s a way to buy games, it installs them on your computer and stores them in your account, so as long as you are logged into Steam you can play any of your games on any computer. Although if your internet is down you can`t access them so that kind of sucks I guess.

Not true at all. If you store your account password and enable "offline mode," you can indeed play your Steam games without an internet connection.

You know what? I AM FREAKING sick of it!! !! In DCUO, right? I got ppl approaching me, inviting me to their league (or guild), & they act real nice & friendly-like, then all of a sudden, I find myself out of that guild--they have taken a vote against me to kick me out! I am not who they want me to be! :( I do NOT know what to do! NOBODY GETS IT! NOBODY! NOT EVEN HERE! :(

I'm kinda of a game freak. I can likely help you, but suggesting a game depends on your computer.

What are your system specs?
Processor, GPU (graphics card), RAM?

Give me as much detail as you can and I'll find you a couple of games in no time.

I think I get you. Modern MMORPGs are extremely fast-paced and require a great reaction time and skill, which I just don't have. My reaction time sucks and I'm simply bad at it, no matter which class I'm playing. Which is very frustrating, because I enjoyed MMORPGs a great deal back in the days of Everquest. I usually played a healer class, watched the tanks and nukers do their thing, occasionally threw in a healing spell, and even found time to chat and role-play between the mob encounters. But in more recent online games everything is a blur, everyone is in a hurry and I can't keep up anymore.

Single player games have become frustratingly complex and challenging as well. I quickly gave up on most games that I've bought in the last decades and rarely ever play anything anymore. The only recent game that I found enjoyable was Skyrim. The graphics are breathtaking, the difficulty is adjustable, and it's easy to play as a tank without using ranged weapons or spells. Charge the enemy, mash a mouse button, enjoy a realistic victory animation. I can highly recommend it if you're looking for an easy-to-play offline RPG of epic proportions. Alas, it can't convey the sense of community that MMORPGs used to have.

Well my computer is a Windows 7 64 bit upgraded from Vista, my vidcard is NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250,....that's all I know,..I forget how to access the other info. BUT, however, the best way someone could help me, as I have stated before, is if we live near to each other, & I trust the person to be in the same room to safely guide me thru video games. I wish I were better at them so I can just play & mod well w/o depending on anyone. I don't know if I could get where I want w/ video games.

Thanks. I have Morrowind & Oblivion. I haven't yet finished what I wanted in Oblivion enough to want Skyrim, and I think the bloody decapitations are kind of gross, but I am just a Sissy-Girl. In MMO's the players are top-notch hardcore, enjoy PVP a lot, which I hate, and requires others like themselves. If I am not like them, they do not accept me. :(

Ok,

How about a good point & click dungeon crawling RPG, one that is not too demanding on your system, so you'll run no problem on your PC:

<EDIT: I can't post links: please look for the review on the IGN website>

Torchlight is a diablo-style game with a unique touch, plus it is really cheap!

As for living nearby... steam and multiplayer are your friends. You can play coop games, voice and all, with anyone, anywhere.

Good luck!
