Forums General Chit-Chat Help me remember some old game?

My memory is awful. I can remember oddly specific details but never names or tangible search terms. (Sometimes I remember things that never happened, but thats another story....)
I played this CRPG (isometric, doomy gothique af) a long time ago, and I remember it being too difficult for me to get much of anywhere BUT that could be because I was just no good at games in my teens... It had 3 playable characters to choose from, and one was DEFINITELY an old lady, I *think* one was a child, and the other was probably some regular gothy dude. It starts you out in a very boxy stone building (magic school?) where you do one or two lame fetch quests (to graduate magic class??) before they throw you mercilessly to the wolves (literal ones??? Something beastly absolutely murdered me a lot.)
The thing that stuck with me most (besides getting to play as an awesome old lady) was that the skills you used and even alignment-based choices you made subtly changed your characters appearance. I think I was rocking a poison-oozing granny with a lizard tail at one point. But I was too bad at games to even see where they went with this concept and its eating at my soul!
Halp?

@Glume: What console was it on? What year did you play it during?

edit: all I could find is this rn Arcanum

It was on the PC. It was not Arcanum.... though Arcanum is one of my favorite games, and you've got the time it came out about right...
