Vampyr: The Talisman of Invocation

About this game

Vampyr is an RPG with EGA graphics that is set squarely in the mold of the Ultima CRPG games. Developed in one summer by two high school students and a few "helpers", this game boasts a pretty impressive world and feature set. There is no party here; you create a single PC and choose your race of human, drawf, elf, or corantir (?). Then you roll some stats, assign a whole lot of skill points, and head out into the world, first to the nearby castle to get a quest from the king. Typical RPG stuff, but if you like the early CRPG genre of the Ultima 2-4 era you will probably enjoy this as well. At least talking to the NPCs usually yields unique and sometimes humorous one-liner responses. It seems quite difficult in the beginning so you may need to level grind a bit before you actually start taking on the quests.
