Sacred 2 is basically what you’re looking for, with the exception that it is more of an Action RPG instead of an RPG, with the focus being on character development, equipment, killing monsters and exploration.

Ultima underworld is a linear first person rpg Its kind of like old school elder scrolls set in one massive dungeon

Dying Light is really good the MQ has a greats toryline and its pretty striaght forward... but its very very open world free roam... the addon is very sort of like they added FUEL gameplay elements ^_^ its to "all over the place" so i felt it didnt mesh well with the linear request..

Still one of my all time favorite zombie killing games

Arx Fatallis would also work in this regard!

Disregard post, I am dumb and a stupid alcoholic

Sorry, I stupidly didn't notice this had a second page until now.

- Morrowind has no choices?
- Dying light has a story and RPG-like stuff? (haven't played it but I thought it was mostly just an action/shooting game).

I've heard of most of the rest of it and played a lot (not really far into them though), but I didn't realize Bloodlines was like this. It's on my wishlist but it's a little expensive right now.

It has loads of choices. In fact it's impossible to do a playtrough in which you see the entire game.

It has a linear story with no choices to be made, you can explore every nook and cranny, and it's partly an action game, partly a survival game and has character progression (you gain levels and upgrade stuff, basically) I wouldn't call it an RPG per se, but it has character progression, it has loads of optional side quests, it's shockingly immersive and it's the best zombie game I've ever played.

Ah, Morrowind has choices, should have edited my previous post thaty i was shitfaced drunk when I posted that
