RPG games for PC - a rare bird
I don't game a lot, but occasionally I do like to drag out the ol' Dungeon Siege and go whack some monsters. I would LIKE to try something new but it seems like everything I see is either for xBox or its ilk or some MMORPG thing which I want nothing to do with. I wasn't even that fond of DS II because the multiplayer (which hubby and I like to play over the LAN) stuck to the same durn storyline which in my opinion wasn't that overwhelming to begin with. The only other game I play with any regularity is Age of Empires, but again, I stopped at AOE, Age of Kings, because I wasn't interested in playing the American wars. I'd rather be a Viking or Celt any day 
. I tried the Civilization series, but could never get into it. Is there ANYthing similar to Dungeon Siege but a bit newer that I can get in PC format? I am not interested in first person shooters. There's a limit to how much hacking and slashing I want to do.

Take a look at NWN and see if it may interest you.

I personally have always been FPS, I started in 96 with the original Unreal and never looked back.
However I did play all the AoE series too, my mom loved that game so I played with her and let her win some

like frozenbarb says, you may want to check out counter strike. i know it's not really what your looking for, but it is like the biggest game for tournaments and stuff. Awesome.
Also, i used to be into Runescape. It's a fun game, but i got made fun of too much for playing it and i got counterstrike . So, i stopped, but it may be what your looking for.

Trust me young Skywalker, I'm at an age where I don't care a rat's tail what other folks think . I'll check out Runescape as well!

Well, it's really only the solo games I'm interested in. The only hacking I ever did to DS was when I lost a modded character that I'd brought up to like level 80 something and he had to have some godsawful dexterity (65?) in order to carry and use the modded bow that came with him. I wasn't about to try to bring him up again so I hacked his stats. It might come easily to some people, it didn't to me, and I'm really amazed it worked to tell you the truth .
.Im a bit picky myself, but I HAVE played WoW since it was released, with the occasional, several month break here and there. I tried Guild Wars as a "break" from WoW, and it was cool at first, but seemed lacking in comparison.
As stated, Diablo 2 is an awsome game, especially given the time frame it was released. If you're familiar with the Diablo 2 play style and like it, another one to consider would be Titan Quest. Its (almost) the same game, but based around Greek mythology and also has a recently released expansion.
Fable: The Lost Chapters is a AWSOME game that I have played MANY times and still enjoy. (There is a plain old "Fable" but The Lost Chapters is the same game, just has more content.)
If you like Star Wars, you can always give Knights of the old Republic or its sequel, KotoR 2 The Sith Lords a try. Once again, awsome games. These two are a bit slower and a bit more RPG type (including Fable), but they offer the abilities to choose your destiny ( also like Fable). If you want to play good, bad, change up along the way, these give you that versatility.
Most of what you can find for the Xbox 360 should be available in PC format. I dont know if its all areas, or just here, but even Wal-Mart is cutting WAY back on PC games, and alot of the newer games are for Windows Vista.
Come to think of it, even the likes of EB Games and Gamestop are sparce on anything outside of console games.
If you cant find anything in your area, you can always check Ebay for some cheaply priced used games, or if you are anti-Ebay, Bestbuy typically has a good selection that is categorized. Good luck in any event
