JRPG's are good but i know that some people dont enjoy them, try WRPG's start with absolute classics like: Baldurs Gate , Baldurs GAte II, Fallout 1&2, Planescape Torment , Icewind Dale, . They amazing plus they would run on any PC made in a last Decade or so, then there are Knights of the Old Republic 1&2, Mass Effect, Gothic 1&2,The Witcher , Fable II
WRPG's are different, and i think you will enjoy them more, they will suck you in big time.
