I've been googling for an hour now and decided to ask the well versed gamers of TL.
I remember playing an RPG-game that had a really vast open world, you could do whatever you want in theory, but if you wandered off too far, you'd find enemies that would assrape you. There were a boatload of quests, although not a "storyline" per se.
Sounds like Morrowind? Yeah, but it was isometric, the graphics looked like a mix between Torchlight and Ultima Online. It didn't look bad, but really basic. It's been a while, but I remember stealthing around to dodge some mean enemy, although I might have dreamt that. I also think I only controlled one hero.
Things google yielded it was not:
Arcanum
Runescape
Possibly it was even indie, that would account for why it is so hard to find.
Oh, it was definitely OFFLINE, no MMO.
Any clues, guys?
