There was Sacred way back when, which apparently has a sequel.  I can
vaguely recall playing a demo version back around 2001 I think, so
hardwarewise it should be fine.  Look at it on steam, there's the gold
edition which seems to be the base game and two expansions, which
might have pushed the system requirements up a bit, but was still
released 2006, so probably still okay.  USD$10.
I might still have that demo version floating around somewhere, backed
up onto a CD. *shrug*
