I've heard a lot of people really likes Jade Empire, I haven't tried it myself. It might be worth looking into.
Shadowgrounds. Although it doesn't sound exactly like what you're after, I have to mention it. It's somewhat short, the story isn't epic in anyway, but it's good action, atmospheric and it's been one of the best surprises I've had as of late (I just bought it blindly on Steam). It resembles the old Alien Breed (top down shooter on Amiga) game quite a deal. The music also has a tint of retro! Bah, perhaps I'm just a sucker for it, big time! To save you the trouble; You be wise not to expect the sequel (Survivor) to match it's entertainment. (It was pure ****oo!)
Vampire: Bloodlines on the other hand, has an ok storyline, character progression. Might not be the top-notch graphics, but quite entertaining, and lots of weird dialogs and character freedom.
ProgressQuest. Now that's a pearl. It's free. Got world PvP. Large player-base. And if you're interested, I could easily throw you some starter capital if you want to start playing it, since I got a level 88 Double Wookiee on the Oobag server. Ohh, and the grind ain't bad in ProgressQuest. Lately, there's been quite a few worn-out raiders from WoW joining up, so the lowbie areas are not all deserted.
GuildWars. I suppose it covers most of your requirements and it's undeniable eye-candy. However it's story might seem vibrant, it's very linear. It's PvP system is entertaining for a while, but nothing to write home about. Good point is, although some consider it a MMO, it's without monthly fee. It might not last months, but the areas to explore, the stories to be told, I can easily justify when looking at the price of the package. Some have played it for a few hours and been terrible bored, so I figure it's one of those extreme "Love it or hate it"-game.
And I'm backing up those who said Baldurs Gate II, Planescape Torment and System Shock II. They are hands down some of the best games I've played.
Edit:
Added typos and stuff.
Enjoy, and fly safe..
