FPS action & Freeform gameplay

Im looking for games that combines good FPS action, stealth, decent story, atmosphere, roleplaying and freeform gameplay.
 
I have played through these games so far (and enjoyed most of them).
 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC & CS, Deus Ex 1&2 , Thief 3, Vampire the masquerades: Bloodlines, Fallout 3, Ultima Underworld 1 & 2, Oblivion & Morrowind, Arx Fatalis, Farcry 1, Crysis. 
 
So what Im really asking here is if someone has any ideas on similar games?

 

Thief 1 & 2?

That's a pretty tight criteria to fit in. What about Thief 1 and 2? If you ask me they tend to fit the description.

Yeah, I forgot to mention Bioshock and System Shock 1&2. Played through them as well. Was a bit disappointed in Bioshock though...
 
Well Thief 1&2 isnt rly freeform at all. More like your average stealth game (Hitman etc). Although decent games.

It would appear you've listed probably all of the good ones. Have you played any of the two Chronicles of Riddick games? They would tick most of the boxes you mentioned.

Nope, but I might give them a try. Thx.
 
I forgot to mention that I played through Batham: Arkham Asylum and Mass Effect as well.

Have you tried Borderlands yet?  I'm not seeing too much on the story element during my first play-through now, but it meets most of the other criteria you've requested.  If story is a focus, then if you are willing to fudge a bit on the FPS aspect, lots of people say the last MGS game is worth your time. I'm not sure if you have a PS3 or are just an exclusive PC gamer, but if you do dabble on the console side, that might be worth your while.  I am pretty sure earlier versions of the Metal Gear franchise were available on PC, if you want to start there.

dude you've got great taste when it comes to games if you like the ones that you mentioned. If you haven't played through all of the thief games you should do it now, even if they aren't freeform. I can't really think of any games besides the ones you listed, sry

Maybe Far Cry 2?  Check it out

Im still a bit curious about Borderlands but Im not sure Im gonna buy it until the price has dropped a bit. Seems a bit much to pay fullprice for a grinding-oriented co-op game. Learned my lesson from L4D. :(
Well the MGS series is decent games I guess but they didnt get me hooked.
 
Thx :) Well I played the Thief games when they came out but that was like ages ago. Maybe a re-visit is in order.
 
Farcry 2 didnt get my attention since it seems like they removed a lot of the stuff that made the first one interesting (Element of surprise in the story, etc). Im not sure but to me it looked like all graphics, no soul, maybe Im wrong...

"Farcry 2 didnt get my attention since it seems like they removed a lot of the stuff that made the first one interesting (Element of surprise, etc) "

Ok. In that case maybe I should check it out.
 
Isn´t the Hellgate: London servers offline now btw? Doesn´t seem like much fun grinding alone. Im not rly much for MMORPG´s anyway. Played WOW, AoC and GW for a while but the mindless grinding just got me rly bored  even though I played with a lot of friends most of the time and instances could be good fun.
 
Suggestions so far:
Farcry 2
The Chronicles of Riddick games
Thief 1 & 2
Borderlands
MGS series
Hellgate: London

A series called IGI for PC several years ago was like that.  It was developed with a flight sim engine of all things, mostly used to be able to have "levels" that were literally several hundred sq. kilometers in size.  You also had the freedom to go about the missions in different ways, using whatever weapons you preferred.
 
Farcry 2 is good, but some of the game's artificial limitations break the feeling of freedom.  Like how much you can carry, the unrealistic wear of weapons, and the fact you just can't kill the guy who sells you guns and take all his shit instead of "earning" the right to buy what you wanted earlier in the game.  It's worth checking out, especially since it's pretty cheap now.  In a way it's almost too open, since your jobs are basically "go kill this guy or blow this up" and you get a location - sometimes a route the guy follows -  and that's it.  How you get there and what you use to do the job are entirely up to you.
 
Borderlands is great even solo, there isn't much story to push you forward, but when compared to something like Stalker - that game really didn't have a ton of story either.

A little game called Cold War was unique in how you went about playing the game.  It was sort of like MGS meets MacGyver, where you could build things like bombs, traps, silencers and what not out of crap you'd find in the levels and you could play how you wanted.
 
Operation Flashpoint is about as open as it gets, but it's hard to like unless you're really committed to it.  The same goes for ArmA.
 
A few others for quick mentions: 
Project Snowblind. What Deus Ex - Tribal Wars turned into.  Still has a Deus Ex feels to it, but it's like Deus Ex meets Halo.
 
Cold Winter.  A Goldeneye sort of game with some freedom peppered in.
 
I've been a fan of this sub-genre since the first games like thee came out.  It's a shame there aren't more of them, but I guess it makes the ones we get that much more appreciated.

Operation Flashpoint, Arma 2, Far Cry 2, Boiling Point.  They don't necessarily tick all of your boxes, but I think they're definitely the type of thing you're looking for.
 
I would definitely recommend giving Arma 2 a shot, I still haven't played a great deal of it, but what I have played seems right up your street.

The first 2 turok games are great.

I've played most of those games you've mentioned and enjoyed them too.  I can't think of any additional games to recommend right now, but I'll support the previous recommendations for Chronicles of Riddick (though it's lacking in freeform gameplay) and I guess Far Cry 2 (which is a bit weak on role-playing, story, and atmosphere).
 
Just out of curiousity, of all those games you listed as having played, which one(s) is your favorite?

Some suggestion off the top of my head based on the games you mentioned... 
Bioshock, 
Hitman series,  
Splinter Cell series,  
and GUN.  
 
EDIT: Also, Max Payne 1 and 2 are pretty awesome if you don't mind older games. Outcast is excellent as well but looks like shit nowadays. And I'd want you to check out The Witcher as well. 

Borderlands...
 
It's missing stealth but it definitely checks off the rest of the boxes.

I'm not sure what you mean by "freeform" considering what I think of when you say that, and how many games you have listed that conflict with that, so I'm going to say:
 
Splinter Cell (any except Double Agent, and I highly recommend Chaos Theory.). It's not necessarily exactly what you're looking for, but I think if you like Thief that you'll like Splinter Cell.

Let me make myself clear on how I choose to define Freeform and/or freedom to avoid confusion:
 
I´ve listed S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC & CS because its pretty non-linear and u can play it in a few different ways.
Deus Ex 1&2, Vampire the masquerades: Bloodlines  and Thief 3  is listed because of the way it maintains the illusion of some actual freedom
Fallout 3, Ultima Underworld 1 & 2, Oblivion & Morrowind, Arx Fatalis because they are very free in a lot of ways
Farcry 1, Crysis is listed because of the massive enviroments and because of the option to handle things "your way" even though both of them are pretty linear.
 
 Although the most important thing is games that manages to use as many of these keywords at once:
Freedom (not necessary sandbox-style) 
Action (pref. FPS)
Atmosphere
Good Story
elements of strategy (stealth etc)
elements of roleplaying

I think you've pretty much listed them all here. It's not a mix of styles that has a long history.
 
I also think Far Cry 2 would really be of interest to you - ignore the screenshots, it is a game unlike any other. A real love/hate thing for many people, but totally freeform in a very original way.

You might like Cryostasis. 

Maybe. It seems a bit similar to the Penumbra series (which I like).

STALKER Call of Pripyat came out in the CIS earlier this month. You can probably find a Russian copy floating around the net.

I might be picking the dust here, but the Might and Magic series (6-8) isnt too bad. Although old...

Yeah I played them and liked them when they came out but they havent aged well at all (especially if u have played Morrowind, Oblivion and Falout 3). "Horrific" is a word that comes to mind. "

 Yeah, I must confess I reinstalled M&M 6 & 7 a few weeks ago when I was sick and home from work :)
 
 Its amazing how many Tron spinoff games there are by now.  Especially since not many ppl remember the movie, and those who do wants to forget about it :)
I quote the reviewer: 
"Tron 2.0… More fun to write about than to play? Something like that."
