Turn based thread with no mention of Silent Storm? Shame! Not an RPG, but still obligatory to check out.

He can’t play games less than 60 FPS. He has high standards for graphics and performance.

another vote for Lords of Xulima
don't remember if it's 60+ fps, should be
if it's not, squint

Is Silent Storm's FPS locked? I never checked it.

It seems the most challenging games are either recent games (that I haven't played myself) or old games (1994 and older). Not much from the CRPG Renaissance era.

I hear good things about Pathfinder: Kingmaker’s turn-based mod.

There’s a lot to discover.

If you count it as an RPG (it does have some pretty extensive character and squad customization), give Mordheim: City of the Damned a try. The game has a forced iron man mechanic around which it is balanced, plus a combat system that emphasizes risk management. To be fair, it does get easier once you figure out the AI and the mechanics, but isn't that the case with a lot of tactical RPGs? I also second the Elminage Gothic recommendation, it's probably the most challenging of the modern Wizardry-like blobbers.
