I love KOTOR, KOTOR2, DA:O, DA2 & Jedi Academy. I think that Jedi Academy is a perfect example of your thoughts about how BioWare toned down the moralizing in later games. In Jedi Academy you're actually told that it isn't the power that is good or bad, but how you choose to use it. That's why all the powers of the Emperor & Darth Vader are available to students as they advance in skill.
However, I have to admit to being rather - stuck in a rut. Besides the 5 games listed above, the only other 2 games I play regularly are The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, and TES 4: Oblivion. Since I'm disabled and do almost nothing else most days, I've played them all so much I almost never look at the God-books anymore. I'm getting VERY bored. Can you name any other high-quality games that are similar to the ones we've named, but keep the controls simple like MORROWIND?

Sure! I love giving video game recommendations! :D
Um, first, what consoles do you have access to, and are you comfortable playing games on the PC? Second, are there any genres that you just completely aren't interested in, such as shooters or puzzle games?
I haven't found very many FPS games that I even cared enough about to finish. I like there to be more reason to play than just "I get to blow s**t up!"
I don't mind puzzles, but don't want to do a game that is nothing but. An occasional puzzle, like in the TES or DA games, doesn't bother me. One of my main complaints about the "Reclaiming Sancre Tor" mod for Oblivion is that most of the quest is puzzles. That lays it on a bit thick, IMHO. I'm like you in liking a good RPG that has some philosophy, morality, and a good story. One thing I don't like is getting invested in my character and then part way through the story being forced to carry on (even for just a little while) with a companion because the player-character has been knocked out of the game for a while. BOO-HISS! If I wanted to play a Star Wars game as a droid, I would have created my character as a droid!
I play on PC & PS3. My PC can barely handle playing Oblivion - Skyrim is not an option. The CPU & graphics card are both too old for Skyrim.
Ok, I just looked STEAM up on Bing - I would not use it even if my PC could handle it. I'm a solo gamer, and do not care to have my experience manipulated or controlled by any 3rd party.
Oh, and something else that might help shape your recommendations - I have a copy of BATMAN: Arkham Asylum for the PS3 - and have never finished it. The controls are alright at first, but I don't like having to mash 6 differenet buttons in combo to do one thing. The more complicated it gets, the less I care for it.
Okay, I made a post with some recommendations. I tried to go for a wide variety of things, most of which are on the PC because I have an Xbox and not a PS3 so I don't know as many games on that system to recommend. :P
Oh, I'd never ask you to recommend games for a platform that you aren't really familiar with. Thanks for the effort - I'm on my way over to look at the list now.

Yaaay, there's another one out there. :)
Hm, okay, bear with me for a moment while I gather up my thoughts.
Oh, and what about Steam? Is that okay for your computer?
