Which RPG would you recomend to your Girlfriend?

My girlfriend likes to play games, (mostly on the PSP), still she's been curious about "what's the deal with the RPG's I keep bragging about with my friends", RPG's like Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate 2, Arcanum: Steamworks, etc.

So she decided to give it a go at one of them, the problem is that seeing as how this is the first WRPG she will play I don't want to lend her one that is too hard, has too much text, too graphically outdated or one that's turn based.

Her PC isn't the best either so mass effect is out of the question.

I was thinking of lending her Jade Empire: Special edition, it seems to fit description of what I should lend her: decent graphics, real time combat, not too much text, voice acting, not too heavy on the rule set, etc.

But I was wondering if you have other recomendations?

She'll love Dragon Age Origins I think.

Torchlight? Yeah I know, its an action RPG, but it has action, bright and cartoony graphics. She might actually like that. Or Maybe Fable.zomglolcats

Neverwinter Night.thusaha

Crimsader

doubt it, DA:O is one for the hardcore audience. I'd say Diablo 2 instead, or WOW (you can get anyone to play it)

She could definitely give Mass Effect a go.chandu83

Oh my... I lost count on how many times I read answers practically saying "I didn't even read what you wrote, but here's my reply"...

Star Wars : Knights of The Old Republic got me into RPG's. She just has to be a little patient with it and I guarantee she will like it. If she gets by the first 1-2 hours then she will most probably like it.

Other than KoTOR I'd suggest Mass Effect 1 and 2.

Fallout.

Then again my girlfriend is imaginary.

haha, I lol'ed.

on topic: Fable 1/2 are the best choices IMO, since they are barely any RPG to begin with (casualization(?) at its finest). Vesperia could also work, if it doesnt necessary have to be a WRPG.

Although some people regard it as a strategy game, I would recommend The Sims 3.

It is an RPG in that you have a full customisable character with different skill sets and choices to make.

If I had a girlfriend she'd kill me!!

Morrowind, Fable, Kotor, Torchlight, Witcher, nwn and from there move to the more hardcore games... Or start with the hardcore games :P

My girl-friend (not girlfriend) is obsessed with Mass Effect

Final Fantasy VII if you can get a copy of it...kdawg88

FF7 is really hard, I don't reccomend it as a first rpg.

I got one of my friends into fable as her first rpg. She loved it, and its easy enough for a beginner to pick up without getting frustrated.

The Elder Scrolls series seems to have large female following, for a video game that is.

I hate to recommend Oblivion, but I think she would dig it.

Also, Fallout 3, Titan Quest (mega sale on steam right now), Mass Effect (maybe, dialogue heavy), Dragon Age (semi-dialogue heavy)

FF7 will be great for her, since she owns a psp and will most likely have played Crisis Core.

I mearly said it is a hard game, nowhere did I say that it was unappealing to chicks. For a first game/rpg it's not a good choice.

my wife might enjoy something more console like, like final fantasy x.

Guild Wars Prophecies

Quite a number of women play that, I know from guild voice chats.

Best to get Prophecies packaged with Eye of the North in the Platinum package. Good way to start setting her up for GW2.

Besides, she might like the minipets you can get in the game.

DA:O or Fable might be pretty good picks ^^

I somehow think arcanum, bg(2), FO(2), and PST are too old for her to get into, or worse yet, too complicated.

Oblivion might not be a bad choise either... and for the love of G*d pick the easiest setings, all the Women I know never took kindly to a challanging game.
