As per the title, I'm looking to find some titles to play with my kids, especially RPGs, as Baldur's Gate 3 as struck the eye here but I'm not willing to fork the money for the graphics card required to run it.

I've been considering going back in time and go into Neverwinter Nights but I don't know if it has a cooperative mode.

Can someone give a few suggestions?

The machines available are not that powerful (one AM3 based system and one soon to be assembled AM4 with a budget G series Ryzen). The rest are laptops reserved solely for work.

Any help is appreciated.

How does the co-op in NWN hold up these days? Let's say if I was desperate to recreate the tabletop experience that I probably can't really have and could get one other friend into it? I'm pretty sure that's 3e, so does that rule set resolve the problems with magic being an OP knowledge check like it is in 2e? Does it expose enemy health and level information like BG3? Sorry for assaulting you with questions, but obviously I caught the bug since playing through the BG games.

I don't know. It's been over a decade since I've last played that game. But I heard it's still popular.
