ChaunceyK: I've tried real-time with pause (Icewind Dale). I gave it a fair chance, spent a few hours with it...just wasn't working out for me. But interestingly enough, the first two Witchers were what I was thinking of trying while they're on sale.

Still, I'd like to hear about any other games here on GOG that might fit my description.
Just a note, Icewind dale is basically a dungeon crawler, it has far less RPG 'talky' elements than, say, Baldur's gate II despite looking very similar to it.

Torchlight has got to be the easiest

Sacred is pretty easy if you don't mind the grind .

Morrowind is a nice non-linear game that has exploits that can make combat trivial. (Note that combat is dice-based, not collision-based, in Morrowind.)

Dust: An Elysian Tail is linear (with minor side quests), but you can play on Casual difficulty, in which case dying is unlikely unless you do it on purpose, and you get unlimited free revives if it does somehow happen.

Ys Origin and Ys: The Oath in Felghana are linear and action-heavy, but they also have a lot of dialogue if your interested in it. (In OiF, returning to town after every event and talking to everyone is a good way to get more dialogue to read.) The games are action heavy, but if you play on Very Easy mode, the game becomes very easy to the point where dying takes longer than actually killing the boss (excluding battles you aren't supposed to win).

Both Dust and the Ys games offer reasonable and harder difficulty modes for when you don't want the game to be ridiculously easy.

Leroux: Depends on your expectation about graphics, but have you tried Driftmoon yet? That one is pretty simple and not that hard in terms of real time combat, it's a nice light-hearted RPG adventure with dialogues and puzzles. IIRC it also has some choices.

I think Nox wasn't really hard either, but it's been a long time since I last played it and I can't judge where to draw the line on what you would find easy and what too difficult to handle. I don't remember it having choices that alter the story, but I think you will partially travel through different areas depending on your choice of character class.

Neverwinter Nights can be a game about choices and not too hard combat, too, but I can't quite recommend the official campaign myself, because I found it too long, boring and tedious for the most part. If you choose to go with custom campaigns though, you can just pick one that's light on combat and heavy on roleplaying choices.

EDIT: I wouldn't call the the first Witcher game easy real time combat though. Regular combats are not too difficult if you can keep the rhythm, but the first boss battle is insane and can be extremely frustrating even for people who usually don't have a problem with real time combat.
Oh that Demon Dog is not that hard. A little bit of common sense and well planned potion taken can beat that in 30 seconds.

coreyblueexclusive: Witcher 2 most definitely.

I loved it played both paths,if you haven't played it already get it on a sale.
Witcher 2 is a great game for certain, but easy? I played on the normal difficulty and the combat was occasionally just plain infuriating. Then again, most of the time it was the inexplicable weird stuff that did it like this guy didn't get knocked back by aard or it's not registering hits or something. The midpoint boss fight also is no easy feat.

I'd still whole heartedly recommend the game, but not before the first game. I thought that game was more fair... sometimes.

On that note, Jade Empire is a game that is similar in that for the most part the combat is pathetically easy with occasionally frustratingly difficult combat. Once again, it's not for the most part and the game is pretty good. At least one of the really hard fights is totally avoidable (if memory serves) so that could be something to keep in mind (spoiler), also, the final boss fight is an incredibly easy fight if you use the golem transformation. (end spoiler)

Hmm.. I think that's more accurate than the original name.

You should have left it like that.

Divine Divinity on Easy is also worth it - especially if you get the frost spell.

I tried to play divinity 1 on normal and in the start it seemed a bit hard but when I try it next time I should pick easy and move furniture less. ^^

Following on from Divine Divinity, be sure to carry on to "The Dragon Knight Saga". It was actually quite hard when they originally released it as Ego Draconis, then they got rid of all the difficult bits and made it incredibly easy to win. Just stay ahead of the curve on XP and you walk it.

I wouldn't say it is incredibly easy. I did one time play it alot, (mainly as an archer) never did finish but still I can wholeheartedly say that divinity 2 dragon knight saga is a great game.

Edit: And It's long as hell especially if you think about with that expansion and you usually get it cheap so it never will be a waste of money.
