[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 4175702, member: 5100"] My wife is looking for something she can play as a stress reliever. She had been playing Fate and enjoyed Diablo 2, so I'm interested in something along those lines. I have Morrowind, and she sounded interested, but I'm wondering if it's too involved for her (it's almost too involved for me), but she enjoyed Daggerfall back in the day. And Temple of Elemental Evil was fine, except for being too buggy. The criteria: - Kill stuff -- this is groovy for stress. - Not heinously bloody -- there's a small chance young kids will pop into the room while she's playing. - No anti-heroes or villanous protagonists -- she nixed Soul Reaver on the PS2 because of this. - The ability to just sit down and play -- we're talking 1-2 hour blocks, tops, so nothing that takes that long just to make a character. - Save at any (or almost any) time -- again with small blocks of play time. - Interesting -- if she wanted repetitive she'd play solitaire. - Character advancement -- some sort of leveling/skill system that brings new toys. - More adventure than action -- Diablo 2 is fine, but nothing that plays better with a joystick/game pad than a mouse. - Primarily single-player -- both of us loathe online games. - Western fantasy setting -- definitely no sci-fi or manga-fantasy, though really great gameplay might be a consideration, as might something sci-fantasy like Star Wars. - Runs on Windows Vista -- it's what she's got on her computer. I was thinking about picking up Neverwinter Nights, or some such, but I'm not sure what's even current and available. Any recommendations?[list] [/list] [/QUOTE]
