GOTHIC. Old game, amazing to play.
Very morrowind-ish, with a steep learning curve and free-form gameplay. You're placed in a huge mountainous and forested area full of bandits, trolls and the like and it's up to you to choose which of three camps to join and which abilities to learn. It LOOKS old, and most people haven't heard of it but I promise it's worth your time.
The english version is now very rare and sells for £85+ on Amazon. However, I managed to get the original german version off ebay for a fiver along with english subtitles. The demo that's knocking around doesn't do the game justice- you really have to invest about 2 hours in it before it suddenly becomes amazing to play and you get totally sucked into it. Just fight through early part of the game it's a pleasure.
Imo it's the best of the 'obscure' rpgs, and therefore exactly what you're after.
