Action/Adventure in a rpg setting with some rpg inspired mechanics

RPG as a classification has no setting. Pen&Paper RPGs (the games which were the inspiration for videogame RPGs) have nearly every setting: Fantasy (Dungeons&Dragons), Science Fiction (Shadowrun), Pirates(Run out the guns), Horror (World of Darkness), Mice (Mouse guard), ...

So a fantasy setting says nothing about a game being RPG or not.
