fate/ stay night and other visual novels fit this category. steins gate is also a notable one.
somnium files have a lighter version in terms of gravity of decisions.
you can kill people in morrowind and oblivion.
a good bethesda-like game that comes to mind is kingdom come: deliverance
KC:D %100 graphics still hold up, it's one of the best RPGs out there.
I remember a quest about learning to read, blew my mind.
speaking of blowing minds, there's that quest about witches in the forest.
I thought I'd be fighting with super natural and magic but it became another magical thing altogether.
Playing it now for the first time and just recently did that, and the main story priest mission, two of the more memorable missions I've done in a long time and has totally sold me on this game.
The mechanics are different, and may put people off, but once you settle into it I think the controls and various game mechanics are really good.
I love Steins Gate, but the choices you make are so wildly disconnected from the consequences that I don't think it really counts. It's such a strange system.
I agree the consequences can be baffling, but sometimes it can be straight up funny overblown too.
I think the inspiration to this is the butterfly effect and how the main's decision can cause (huge) side effects but somewhat not to what he wanted.
