I have a bit of time off ahead of me and I am planning to waste it on playing games, which I haven't done in a while.
Here are my specs:
Intel core duo 2.00 GHz
RAM 2 GB
32 bit operating system.

I love RPG especially collecting swords and upgrading them.

My old PC had a similar spec and ran Oblivion really well. You can waste hundreds of hours there and it still looks rather lovely!

Yep, that could do. But I have heard it takes ages to finish it. How long did it take you?

Tepic · 7 Mar 2012 at 21:16

I guess around 90 hours. But I missed a lot of content. I have no idea how long it would take to do everything!

I bought it on release and still play occasionally now.

Could try Torchlight.

Buy the Warcraft 3 Games including Frozen Throne expansion and sit back, relax, grab some beers and literally loose yourself.

You can pick up Dragon age Origins GOTY fairly cheap now, and you get lots of content with it. I would highly recommend it.

Your OP does not mention a GPU, DAO does run fairly well on my laptop though, which has a rubbish m card.

Dragon age is good, so is oblivion, i spent too many hours on oblivion, really good game. The witcher is quite fun too, only a few hours into that though.

If you can get it for a decent price, I can heavily recommend Kingdoms of Amalur. If you go blacksmithing, you can get all the armour and weapon crafting you want. Really decent game.

You dont mention your video card, a decent one would mean that you could play something like The Witcher on med-high settings; if you dont have one you'd have to stick to some older games.

Football manager 2012 at bargain prices from an other thread could be a good go

Sleepery · 8 Mar 2012 at 12:00

The Witcher (the first one) definitely. He's big into swords

arc@css · 8 Mar 2012 at 12:03

Morrowind. Ok, you might not be able to mod it, but I think it has aged quite well considering it was released almost to the month ten years ago.

lrlcr · 8 Mar 2012 at 12:04

Diablo 2 if you like hoarding stuff

It depends on his graphics card but yes I agree. It looks even better if you download some of the mods for it!

This is a wonderful rpg.

I especially loved earning the glowing sewer sword, that took a lot of grinding. The sewer level especially is awesome.

On the contray, it can be modded to hell and back, even bringing the graphics up to date with shader effects and new model and texture packs.

Yes but the point is HE might not be able to mod it, without killing his poor PC :

I'm currently enjoying the Morrowind graphics / sound overhaul mod.
