Hi,

Can anyone recommend me an adventure/quest type game that would work on a low end dell laptop?

I'm pretty sure the laptop is an Inspiron 15 which will have a ATI Radeon HD 4330 512MB graphics card which obviously isn't that powerful. It belongs to my wife and she used to play games like morrowind and those quest type games and would like something to play on this laptop. It's running windows 7 by the way and she doesn't want to play online.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Mark

Turns out she's played the BG games. I think I'll download oblivion from steam and install that on my laptop and then she can use that. I don't use it much and it's a lot more powerful than hers.

It'll give me time to play bf on the xbox smile

If you can get the Game of the Year edition of Oblivion on Steam get that, it has all the expansion packs with it already.
You can so I will - thanks.

With regards to the OS compatibility I guess in the worst case I can always install xp or vista dual-boot with 7 if I have to. I did a quick search on oblivion and it look like some people have had it working fine under 7. I did buy one game recently that ran under xp and vista but wouldn't work under 7 even in compatibility mode... don't know why.

I downloaded Oblivion from steam on friday evening on to my laptop. I don't use it that much so she may as well make use of the better graphics. It worked straight off the bat on windows 7 and she likes the game very much indeed.

Thanks,

Mark
