That's a tough one, not a particularly popular setting for games in general, let alone rpg's (sad as it is).

Darklands is a classic, if you can get past the graphics it's just what you're after: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darklands_%28video_game%29

Technically not low-fantasy, but still feels like one: Gothic 1. The rest of the series less so, but the downplayed magic and rare orcs make this feel like low fantasy.

well, mount&blade is really no-fantasy
just in a fictional country and characters
i'm really allergic to everything fantasy so i was really surprised that i managed to like skyrim as much as i did

you play dark messiah of might & magic?
linear action rpg - not openworld or with guests
mount&blade-like combat mechanics
levels very thief-like with multiple paths and approaches

The First Templar , which was recently released. Set in 14th century. It's an action-adventure video game with character development (aka RPG elements).

There was also a similar game released (relatively) at the same time as The First Templar, but I can't recall what it was called.

Darklands is great, though the combat UI gets annoying quickly. Gothic 1, as someone mentioned, really has the feel of low-fantasy, even though it's not really that. Same with Betrayal at Krondor. There are a few more out there, but yeah, generally it's all just the same shitty generic high-fantasy stuff.

Arcanum ? it has some aspects of magic but it also revolves around the tech that was available in those days, like creating guns and lamps and electric stuff (tesla) it maybe not fill your request but its a rreally good game
set in older times (not medieval) ^^

edit; i'm also thinking of a game, it was top down 3d shooting rpg , and it was released by jowood of all publishers Very Happy but i rly enjoyed it but i don't recall the name right now

Robin Hood - The Legend of Sherwood. Not an RPG but it is a medieval game, and very fun if you like squad strategy games such as Commandos and Desperados.

The first Diablo game perhaps, though by now I guess everyone has played it. Smile
(I think armor design was kept fairly realistic and monsters were rather believable, was trying to think of something more medieval and traditional but so far I've only come up with Mount & Blade and some of the above mentioned games.)

EDIT: Not quite RPG games as such but there's also Severance, Rune and Enclave.
(Enclave is a bit more fantasy than the others, Rune gets a bit strange towards the end however and Severance has a number of glitches and other issues.)

EDIT: Ascension to the Throne 1 and 2 come to think of it, Hard to Be a God could perhaps also classify. Smile

+1. Darklands was really awesome.

But yeah, it's hard to find low-fantasy :/

How about Nethergate?
http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/nethergateres/index.html

It's set in Roman Britain. It has some fantasy elements such as druidic magic, and a few typical races (such as goblins).

Well it's not exactly the same thing Razz, but Divinity II is damn great that's for sure.

Actually, it WAS a (very) good game... for its first half (Barcellona had some truly good quests, not to mention faction conflicts and people racism if you were playing as a beast race) - too bad it became a hack'n'slash after that, and a shitty one as well.

This. If only it had more variety in quests it'd be my most favorite RPG ever - complexity-wise it's still pretty much unmatched. Killing the executioner seconds before it could land the mortal blow to my party leader, then running through the city streets while avoiding the guards and trying to find a suitable spot to climb the walls - god, those where good times...

And what, exactly, would Darklands be missing, my good sir?

I would love a modern day version of that, so few games impress me anymore, even Skyrim is tedious after a while.
