An old role playing or adventure game's name.

I'm trying to think of the name of a game I came across once. It featured a man in his home. He looked like a warrior. The view was mostly top down, similar to the first neverwinter game. I believe his wife was home also, or played a part in the introduction. The game possibly begins in his bedroom, although the house may not have an actual bedroom. If the wife is there, you speak to her and then proceed to learn about combat. The wife could be in some different kind of relationship with him, though I do recall them being lovers. When I had the game, I had difficulty with the controls since it's relatively old and the operating system clashed with its requirements. I assume it was made in 1990-2000. Most likely 1995-2000.

    I know it didn't feature a wife as such, but Ultima VI did start off with you using a PC in your house and then spotting something outside, being whizzed off through a portal where you had to discuss with a gypsy woman (I think) your character.

    The graphics were better and I'm fairly sure it was not a continuation of a previous game.

    No idea then, sorry!

    If it's after 1995, the game must have had spoken dialog, yes? A game on a CD?

    Yes, I think it was audible. Most probably on a CD.

    Game was pretty dark... Main character might have been clad in skull or caveman like armor.

    Would it happen to be Dink SmallWood? It doesn't fit all the requirements, but it's the closest I could get at the moment. The MobyGames redesign has been killing my ability to narrow down old game searches.

    We have a thread dedicated to helping people identify and/or track down titles they can't quite remember.

    Geth, close the thread.
