First Person RPG recommendations

[Korgoth of Barbaria]

What are some first person RPGs that:

1) Have all the scope/depth/replayability of say, Baldur's Gate II?
2) Have several interesting "worlds" with different environments/themes (Think one 'world' that looks like say, medieval England; another that is a snowy realm; and so on)
3) Is more than just a dungeon crawl and has a central story with a singular bad guy - preferably a mage of some sort?
4) Have accessible combat systems/magic use, similar again to BG?
5) Have lots of monsters based on actual mythological beasts (ala Minotaurs, Zombies, etc) rather than "made up" monsters?
6) That features light platforming elements and QTE-type events.

Fallout 4

I was going to recommend Wizardry, but then I saw this:

That features light platforming elements and QTE-type events.

I hope you die for wanting QTE.

So, I'm not sure if you're asking for an old-school crpg or a proper 3d first person one. Old school you may be able to find what you're looking for, new school would be pretty hard. (perhaps a might & magic game?)

For one, combat you're going to find is a usual crap shoot - doing first person combat right is hard and even then "correct" first person combat is far from perfection. Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, while having some flaws is an amazing experience that I would recommend to everyone. Other than that there's not much else that I can recommend to your overly-specific tastes.

QTE doesn't mean Telltale style events. Mainly reflex based actions that require some thought. Timed "puzzles" if you will. Telltale has really made "QTE" a dirty word.

Fallout 4 isn't High Fantasy.

I have hated QTE way before even knowing Telltales game had QTE. I hate this shit since it was used in Shenmue and hated it more in RE4.

3D first person (or primitive Daggerfall style 3D).

Also, Arx Fatalis.

I don't mean QTE where you have to "press button A", "Press B". By QTE, I mean very fast, reflex based sequence similar to this:

Fallout 4 isn't High Fantasy.

Any technology that can not be scientifically explained is magic.

 

[Viata]

Is this considered QTE too?

Fuck QTEs

 

[Campion]

Why would you want QTEs in any game?

Immersion of the ludonarrative

You guys ever play that game Simon when you were kids? That was like a handheld quick-time event with batteries.

2) Have several interesting "worlds" with different environments/themes (Think one 'world' that looks like say, medieval England; another that is a snowy realm; and so on)

Ultima Underworld II is best for this. It fits most of your other points as well.

2) Have several interesting "worlds" with different environments/themes (Think one 'world' that looks like say, medieval England; another that is a snowy realm; and so on)
3) Is more than just a dungeon crawl and has a central story with a singular bad guy - preferably a mage of some sort?
4) Have accessible combat systems/magic use, similar again to BG?
5) Have lots of monsters based on actual mythological beasts (ala Minotaurs, Zombies, etc) rather than "made up" monsters?
6) That features light platforming elements and QTE-type events.

Ultima Underworld 2 meets all your requirements, though the magic system is a bit different. However, I feel UU1 is the better game.

3) Is more than just a dungeon crawl and has a central story with a singular bad guy - preferably a mage of some sort?

Wizardry 6-8 (Dark Savant as the bad guy in 7 and 8)
Might & Magic X
Ultima Underworld 1-2

 

[catfood]

Might&Magic

 

[laclongquan]

OP's demands sound like tailor made for Might and Magic series. Specifically Might and Magic 8 Days of Destroyer.

 

[Dorateen]

I'd go with World of Xeen, for the variety of environmental themes and singular antagonist.

Fallout 4

Fallout 4 isn't High Fantasy.

Wat? yes it is.

You want too much I think. But if you exclude first 2 - maybe Legend of Grimrock 1-2? Anyway BG in first person don't exist. *sigh*
