    And i'm talking in the nerdiest way possible.

    I already tried these:

    Almost every Zelda game - finished all of them.
    Pokemon Soul Silver - finished, good game. Don't feel like replaying it.
    Oblivion - got bored.
    Skyrim - arachnophobia and got bored.

    There's probably more i've tried that i don't remember.
    Keep in mind that i'm not looking for Adventure Games. Nope.
    I'm looking for a game where i can have a very nerdy adventure, both for me and for my Let's Play series.

    Thanks.

    I guess you mean RPG games. A few good ones I have played are (reviews linked):

    - Neverwinter Nights (1 and 2)
    Long story and tons of content to explore.
    - Avencast
    Nice combat, but average story.
    - Bastion
    Beautiful graphics and music, focuses on storytelling.

    I've played Bastion, but it's not an RPG and it's very short.

    Also, it's linear.
    I loved it though.

    I'll try out the other ones you've suggested. That goes for xChapx too.
    Thank you both.

    Bastion is an Action-RPG, mate. :P
    Working through my Steam library, I'll offer a few possibilities:
    A.R.E.S. is an action-RPG, not a bad story.
    Aquanox very open-ended.
    Aquaria I've poured over 200 hours into this game, and I'm pretty sure I haven't yet finished it, let alone discovered everything.
    Arcanum one of the better games in existence.
    Avadon: The Black Fortress long, awesome, open-ended, good story, solid mechanics, seriously what more could you want? :D
    Avernum (series) all good, all worth checking out. If you've got a pre-vista OS, also check out the precursors, Exile (series), and don't forget to try the demos: They're well known for being ludicrously huge!
    Beyond Good & Evil has won many awards, including various 'best story' variants. Great adventure! :D
    Blueberry Garden probably not quite what you mean, but pretty fun to mess about in, and tells a story of sorts. :)
    Botinacula has a story of awesomeness, should be played regardless of whether it's what you mean. :P
    Breath of Death VII awesome parody NES-era JRPG.
    Capsized has atmosphere, all the better to kill you with.
    Cave Story an adventure to die for!
    Chantelise – A Tale of Two Sisters moar awesome RPG action.
    Dangerous High School Girls In Trouble no idea how to describe this one, but it kinda got a cult following at my school, and is pretty damned fun. :D
    Dear Esther adventury.
    Deus Ex omg yes.
    E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy kinda like Deus Ex if it were made by stoned indie frenchmen...wait, it was.
    Morrowind deffers! :D
    Geneforge (series) semi-sci-fi tbrpg with awesome writing and open endedness.
    Hammerfight has one of the best emergent combat systems I've ever seen, and a rich world.
    Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet check it!
    Jade Empire mebbe.
    Just Cause 2 funfunfun! :D
    La Mulana similar to Cave Story in that it was a strong early influence on indie games.
    Legend of Grimrock yeah, prolly ok.
    Lego Batman/starwars/indy/harry/foobar all levels in awesome.
    Lone Survivor Lots of adventure, also lots of shitting your pants with fright.
    Magicka yeh.
    Mass Effect (series) yeh.
    Max Payne (1 and 2, screw 3) too lazy from now on.
    Metro 2033
    Mirror's Edge
    Mount and Blade (series)
    Oddword (series)
    Overlord
    Penumbra (series)
    Planescape: Tourment masterpiece.
    Psychonauts hell yes this one.
    Saints Row (series)
    Saira MOAR ACTION PHOTOGRAPHY! :D
    Scarygirl <3
    SPAZ
    Spellforce (series)
    Star Wars: KOTOR hells yeah.
    Titan Quest if you're into that kind of thing.
    Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
    Vessel
    The Void
    VVVVVV
    Ys (series)
    Zeno Clash

    Well aware 80% of these probably wont be what you mean, but I think you'll find more than one of worth somewhere in there. :)

    Whoops, my fault.
    I forgot to say, yes i played Minecraft.
    It was just so blandly boring that i didn't even remember about it.

    I'll add it to the OP, i'm having a blast replaying Wind Waker though.

    Xenoblade Chronicles: can take about 80 hours playtime and is a really good RPG.
