looking for an actual RPG

[Googenstien]

Okay here's what I'm talking about I'm looking for an RPG featuring full character customization, clothes face hair voice personality the whole shibang. Also something with non-quest based activities, in fact non structured activities in general, activities that don't require you enter a specific point or trigger a mini game to play them, like crafting, hunting, gathering, but specifically crafting. Also it'd be nice if you could use potions offensively in combat. Anything like this exist?

YOU will have a hard road ahead.. I always look for games like that but you pretty much have to rely on older games. Trends now are for very structured characters to fit into CGI movies and the overall story so that makes it hard to be able to have a very custom character.

Fallout 3 - New Vegas, Oblivion and Skyrim allow some customability but not to the degree of older games.. the last game that I know that had a full D&D type "roll your character up" aspect was NWN2 and before that the Atari AD&D game Temple of Elemental Evil.

I miss the old AD&D gold box games or the Dark Sun games of the 90s.. I don't know why they aren't made like that anymore. Hell.. even Bards Tale and Ultima had great character customizations and they weren't in the D&D universe so we cant claim its only D&D that has stuff like this.

MMOs are the only games I know that offer that and why I am always going back to EQ1-2 or WoW.

depends on what you are looking for

charetar depht, imersion and a good story = the witcher, fallout 1,2 planescape torment and most improtantly : Arcanum

Fantasy/rpg setting, action and visuals asosiaded with it = skyrim or fallout new vegas

Table top gaming. Nothing can top the amount of choice that you get in that. Try D&D or Pathfinder.

Totally this.

I know it's not what you asked for but it's what best fits your criteria. Beyond that, any number of other games in this thread should fill your quota.
