Looking for game recommendation
Loved:
D:OS2 - due to low end comp, I can't get pass act2, my computer can't handle act2 apparently.
BG2EE
Pillars of Eternity
Icewind dale 2
nwn1&nwn2
crusaders kings 2 and medieval total war 2
So, I'm looking for good game suggestion which I can play as female, choose my own name ingame, and with nice graphics. I find IWD2, NWN1 graphics quite charming...
I was thinking Pathfinder, the card game, but I'm not sure... I'm also thinking of Nine Parchements, but it's yet to be released...

You should also try Icewind Dale 1 if you haven't (you only mentioned 2).
I've heard Tyranny is very good, though I haven't played it yet. Sword Coast Legends may also be to your liking.
Geneforge and Avernum are pretty big in the indie scene, though I haven't played them yet.
If you want something a little different, West of Loathing is freaking HILARIOUS. It plays more like a point and click adventure game with a turn based combat system. With almost every single quest/encounter having multiple resolutions.
I personally loved Vampire:masquerade, but it does require quite a bit of retooling so I can understand if that's a hangup, but there are plenty of great guides. It's one of the most complete experiences of an RPG that I've ever played - I deeply regretted not having enjoyed it for years prior.
I'll second checking out Shadowrun. Tyranny was good fun. Dragon Age Origins is also great, but for whatever reason I had some hang-ups with it when it first came out.
Knights of the Old Republic 1-2, while again requiring some retooling on modern systems, are *really* good and serve basically as the Star Wars themed precursors to Mass Effect (1-2 are great RPGs, 3 is a bit more action heavy).
Age of Decadence is a short romp with a lot of replayability with a greco-roman feel (it's essentially a different game for each archetype) . Underrail is a throwback to Fallout so if you hate that for some reason that's a no go, but it's good fun.
The old Ultima games (and generally not allowing you to make your own character as much as modern games), while not being graphically up to par, and having tons of wonky UI issues, are still good games as pointed out above. Bard's Tale games also fall into that category. If you find that you're ok with 80s and early 90s games, then Darksun and the Krondor series are worth checking out too!
Since you listed some RTS games in there - try out Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and 3. They're great games that mesh RPG and RTS elements with turn based combat and high fantasy elements. They also have more modern equivalents from Ubisoft that I've not played, but seem to be about in the same realm.
Wasteland 2 (Wasteland 1 is great, but it's old enough a lot of younger gamers can't put up with its clunky bits) is good fun too, but is again in the post-apocalyptic genre.
Some people *really* love the Elder Scrolls games (3-5, 5 being Skyrim) they've never really got me, but they're worth checking out if nothing else than for the visuals. Or like going to Vegas or Disney Land - you gotta' do it at least once if you can lol.
