Sounds to me like Baldur's gate/Neverwinter nights.
If you don't like the D&D rules (I have trouble understanding them and don't like putting in the effort...that said, BG2 ruled) then you might want to check out Dungeon Siege 2. I never played the first one, and only played the second one a bit...but it is all about making a party and going to do quests and such. Downside I didn't like is that it seemed verrrrrrrry automated.
