Trying to remember the name of a PC game from the late 90's to early 2000s. It was a 3d game with a first person view, or a 3rd person view from directly behind your character. It was a medieval/fantasy type setting and you could choose to play as a barbarian-type guy that used large two-handed weapons, a dwarf that had a shield and a one-handed axe or mace, a female elf I think that used long pole-type weapons, and possibly one other type. I don't recall any magic or spells in the game, but you did level up and gain more strength and hp, and could find better weapons. Basically all you could do was run, jump, dodge, attack, or block. It was kind of like playing oblivion but without any spells. You progressed fairly linearly through the stages....there was no overhead map or world to explore, but I think you could go back to earlier stages. I remember that frequently when you killed a monster or a monster killed you that their/your limbs would be sliced off. There were traps and pitfalls and that sort of thing. I don't think you had an inventory or could pick up and carry anything other than a new weapon but I do remember there being health potions....but you couldn't take them with you, so if you came across one and didn't need it at the time you would have to go back and find it once you did. The monsters you came across were the usual suspects such as orcs and skeletons and such and I think there was a boss at the end of every stage and each stage was quite long. It was a fairly difficult game and it was easy to die from traps or from the large chunks of damage the monsters would take out of you when they connected, so you had to really conserve your health and any potions you came across and really figure out the attack patterns of different enemies and how to dodge and block them and attack while taking as little damage as possible at all times.
Oh yes and also like oblivion you could control the type of attack you make whether it was a left-to-right slash, right-to-left slash, overhead smash, etc.
I seem to remember the final boss being a skinny, red-coloured, demony-looking guy that was really quick and I think he could even disappear and reappear somewhere else or teleport (which was not the sort of ability any of the monsters in the entire game possessed). I think he might have also had a vampiric weapon (would restore his hp when he damaged yours) but I could be wrong on that.
Hope this was descriptive enough as I know the type of game I am describing could be any number of games as the setting and gameplay seem rather generic but if you could help me out many thanks.
