34 here, almost losing count
I think my first RPG was probably Eye of the Beholder 2, but I was so blown away by it, I ended up playing every RPG I could get my hands on. So I played all three of those EOB games, and then all of the Lands of Lore games, Stonekeep, Shadowcaster, all the Krondor games, most of the Wizardry and Ultima games, Summoner, and loads of others. It's sad though because I felt like RPG's peaked some time in the late 90's and then started a slow but steady decline towards "action hack n slash RPG's" which is all we have left these days.
I do have some more modern games which are kind of my mainstay (check out "Project 99" or "Shards of Dalaya"), but it's nice to have a single player RPG but which isn't completely shallow and challenge-less. LoG really fits that bill nicely

Loving the game though I do find the real time combat a little difficult (reflexes not what they used to be).
If you want a helping hand you might want to consider getting a posh mouse like a Logitech G500 (not very expensive) or something similar, and it has extra buttons which you can make do anything. With a bit of thinking out of the box and tinkering you could make this game almost play itself. Even just using the mouse itself (and the free software) you could make it so the mouse helps you side stepping. But taking it a step further you could even make a macro so that when you press one of the extra buttons on the mouse, it automatically presses the runes and shoots the fireball.
