FO1/2, Arcanum, PST, IWD1/2, BG1/2 all have widescreen mods, and look just fine. Though you wouldn't want it on the natural resolution of your 32" monitor or something, you'd want to set it a bit smaller.

 

That should set you up for a couple hundred hours of awesome.

If you've only played BG2 and DA:O then you're really missing out.

 

For the Project Eternity feel, definitely go with:

  • Baldur's Gate
  • Planescape: Torment
  • Icewind dale

Other RPGs i'd strongly recommend:

  • Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura
  • Darklands
  • Might & Magic 6
  • Might & Magic 7
  • Betrayal at Krondor
  • Gothic
  • Gothic 2
  • The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
  • The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
  • Realms of Arkania
  • Arx Fatalis
  • Deus Ex
  • System Shock 2

 

Best list proposed. I would also add Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines and the Fallout series (you can skip Fallout 3 and go to New Vegas directly). Haven't played neverwinter nights 2 myself but I've heard good things (and bad, but apparently they can be overlooked) about it, so you can add that and also its 2 expansions are supposably good. Also Temple of Elemental Evil, if you want to get a feel for what the special modes they'll be introducing will feel like.

Play Arcanum in tandem with Chris Avellone.

Maybe because the game feels very "slow" at the beginning, especially in the mortuary. I know I found the combination of weirdness (unfamiliarity with the setting) and the zombie shuffling pace (at times quite literally) off putting the first time I played it. I persevered and once out and starting to get around Sigil, it became very interesting.

Probably part of it. I wasn't exactly a "hardcore RPG" gamer at the time, or for most of my life before the more graphical cRPG's started popping up. Before Doom/BG1/Diablo1/Tombraider etc. my biggest experience with gaming came from Atari's Pac-Man and checkers/chess/RISK other strategy board games. I remember thinking "this is weird" and "I don't get it" a few times for the short period I tried PS:T. ;)

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe. 

Well, Torment is a must,

another must have played is Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines...community is keeping it up tp date

Witcher 1 is a great game, however not a must, witcher 2 is.

As mentioned before Baldurs Gate comes in an Enhanced Edition on the 30th of Nov...another must in my book

Gothic 2 is definatly great game

TES 3 Morrowind, is amazing, cheap too, and with mods damn nice to look at.
