Basically, I'm looking for high-attrition RPGs on GOG that do it well. In particular, I'm looking for RPGs where you have to worry about things like this:
* Will my resources (like MP) hold out long enough to finish the dungeon or reach the next town, or should I head back to the (previous) town to rest and regroup?
* Should I cast my mega-nuke on this encounter, or should I save it in case some nasty encounter will come up later?
* Are the enemies dangerous enough for me to use that mega-nuke, or should I just take the damage and heal afterwords?
* Is it worth trying to put these enemies to sleep, so I don't have to heal as much?
* Should I use my powerful, but expensive, healing spell to ensure that the character doesn't die, or should I risk it and use a more efficient healing spell after the fight instead?
Also, worth noting that the game has to be one that can reasonably be called an RPG, and I do not want any game where a player's action gaming skill could allow them to avoid all damage.
