My personal favorite fantasy game for the Mac is Quarterstaff.  It has 
good graphics, including pictures of yourself, those you befriend, and
those you confront.  The area you are covering is large, and therefore
doesn't get old.  My biggest problem with this type of game is that I 
tend to get stuck at a point, and get frustrated and quit.  In Q-staff
you can use different routes to get to the same place, and if you are 
really stuck, there are some good hints.  There.  That's my $.02.
