EDIT: what was suggested till now and noted on our list: fate, sacred(series), mount and blade, arcanum, nehrim(TES: oblivion), dungeon siege(series), risen, venetica, titan quest
my girlfriend wants to play a very specific type of game...
Although you asked for medieval setting I was about to suggest Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, because your girlfriend's gaming taste pretty much makes her my soul sister &I loved that game - but perhaps it's the 'vampire series' you already mentioned?
" Has The Witcher been mentioned? "It mostly never gets mentioned because people can't figure out how to play that game.
People find it "too confusing" with all the potion/alchemy stuff, it's sad really since it's a great game :(
@velucyraptor: sacred noted on her list as well, thanks. already tried divinity series (edited 1st post)
@valrog: risen is on the list. thank you. witcher...is kinda about collecting stuff is it not? but you're right she's gonna try it, but not now. mount and blade also on the list, although we agree the game looks crazy :D
@Ignor: noted....very interesting....very :O...maybe a game for me as well! :D thank you
@arab_prince: valrog mentioned it. thanks for the input though
@velucyraptor: she hated redemption, loved masquerade (I loved both though, except for the bug in masquerade). if you are gonna go that way then I am also your soul sister, which weirds me out cuz' i'm a dude
@endaround: played the second, though it was cool but waaay too short
@ZeForgotten: agree. currently playing it. i found the alchemy stuff (especially the research needed for the alchemy stuff) to be amazing
@Brysonic: yeah. the fallout series if for me. we have ME1 and Fallout 3 here, but she doesn't want to touch them :/
EDIT: sorry for double post -.-
" i thought this was going to be about Rapelay, sigh, oh well. "Hahahahaha haaahahaha, oh boy I'm so glad that pathetic excuse for a funny joke didn't get old a year ago on Giantbomb.
Comedy gold right there, people! Genius!
Not sure how completely it fills the open world/side quests criteria, but she might also like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic. It has that same general sort of first-person medieval RPG feel as a lot of the others. Reviews weren't that kind, though I personally rather enjoyed it

Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga.
Takes place in a magical world called Rivellon, populated by both intelligent races, such as humans, and less intelligent creatures, such as goblins. Involves a lot of item hunting and there are also plenty of customisation opitions. My girlfriend loves it. I can't deny that it's a good game but I don't really like it as much as she does. I guess I'm not into Dragons and scavenging.

It's made so that you don't really collect a lot of things. Most of your inventory will be used for potions/runes/enchantments/quest items and aside from that, there's nothing really to collect. You will be selling a lot of items that you pick up. It doesn't have a wide range of weapons/armor (especially armor) and weapon takes a lot of space (correct me if I'm wrong here, I'm not sure for personal inventory, but in store it takes spaces based on its size). So, I definitely recommend it, it's an incredible experience, but just don't expect to have a ton of items.
@velucyraptor: omg ! also, same as above. it's more a thing for me. loved 7 and 8 to death
@armaan8014: added, thank you! :)
@Jasta: i agree with you. she does not ;)
@Vitor: added to the list. thanks. seems to be a fun game
Din's Curse may not be the prettiest Diablo-alike on the streets, but it's definitely got some loot lust and some cool mechanics going on.
Along the same line of the Sacred/Diablo games are the Titan Quest games and the game Loki.
You nailed all of the good ones.the gothic series, torchlight, diablo, neverwinter series, baldur's series, icewind dale series, TES series, vampire series, dragon age (series?), divinity series, witcher have been noted. smt else
" @mazik765 said:Cheaper? Maybe...More fun? Probably not." I'm sure if you get creative sex would suffice. "This lady wishes to role-play in a medieval setting with a whole mess of open-world side-quests, where she gets to collect a bunch of items. I think it's cheaper to just buy her a game =/ "

As someone who has played a fair bit of Loki you probably want to steer clear of it. It's a really cool idea, but that game needed way more play testing before it was released. Titan Quest would be good though.
