Unhappy what's new?

Folks I've been playing pen and paper D&D for the better part of 25 years and since no one in the area plays I've started to miss it. So I was thinking a computer based RPG might be a good way to fill that void for a while. I looked at WOW, DDO, Oblivion etc.... but none of them "fit". The last few games I played that I liked were The Temple of Elemental Evil, Baulders Gate, and Ultima Online for 7 years. I'm not really looking for an online game as I don't have several hundred hours to dedicate to it each month.

Any recommendations? I like third person better than first person if that helps

Thanks

Did you ever play Wizardry 8? That was the last RPG that I really enjoyed. It's a bit old, but you may be able to find it somewhere.

You cannot go wrong with Guild Wars. It's pretty fun and has no monthly fee.

Neverwinter Nights is right up your alley. It's DnD and it's very good. I recommend the platinum version.

You can also check out Baldur's gate series or icewind dale.
