Medieval dark fantasy games? (lemmy.world)

Hey folks, I know game requests can get pretty annoying - but please help a brother out.

I'm in a very specific mood, and I want to play an action RPG in a dark fantasy setting - the issue is, people got bored of all fantasy being medieval, so now games always come up with a twist "dark fantasy... But in the 40's! But it's cyberpunk! But it's actually under the ocean!" and while I respect these subgenres... Just give me a knight in armour and a gritty story, pleeeeease.

By action RPG, I don't even mean Diablo clone. It can be one, but also a 2D open world RPG, or a 3D old-school Skyrim-like, or a MMORPG style, or whatever. I just need one.

Have you heard about gothic? They are kinda old except gothic 3 which is also pretty old but not that much. It has supreme story and a rich fantasy world but I dunno how well it aged since I have nostalgia glasses on.

In my opinion gothic 2 is the best, gothic 1 was also pretty good but it crashed at a specific point and I couldn't play on. Gothic 3 is buggy as hell

If you consider playing any of the Gothic games, the community patches are a MUST.
