I dislike the excessive colour, bloom and such that thrive in many recent RPG's.
name 5 that aren't fable
Guild Wars (all of the chapters)
Neverwinter Nights 2
Rise of the Argonauts
Oblivion (and Co.)
Dungeon Siege 2
I can give a few more if you want, but there aren't that many recent RPGs worth mentioning to begin with.
Anyway, there are also games that are realistic but also very colourful, like Drakensang and Gothic III, but I would recommend against playing the latter. Drakensang I can recommend, though.
