Need suggestions for a medieval/fantasy action game (lemm.ee)

I play mostly sci-fi games but I enjoy a good ol' swordfighting once in a while.

What could you suggest as a good single player action game with melee and maybe a dash of spellcasting/"powers" ? It can be TPS or FPS

Although it should (here comes the nitpicking) :

not be a stealth game or stealth-adjacenr like Assassin's Creed or Shadow Of Mordor
not be a souls-like (I play for fun, not to puke blood)
have health regen (at least out of combat) or any mean to heal without having to look after potions or food while out of combat

If possible a good story would be a major plus, but it doesn't need to be The Witcher level of good. And I'm more than fine with AA games, or older games as long as the art direction is nice.

EDIT: thanks for the suggestions, I realize I should have mentionned the "similar" games I've already played :

The Witcher trilogy
Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim
Dragon's Dogma
God Of War (liked the combat, not the difficulty)
Darksiders
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003 video game)
Hunted: The Demon's Forge
Vermintide (even though it's not single player, but great game)

The health Regen requirement doesn't discount Skyrim if you use Health Regeneration potions/enchantments ;)

Un-modded Skyrim has health regen (even during combat) unless you turn on "survival mode" but overall it's a much better game if you spend the first 30 hours installing mods. In particular the melee combat can be much improved with MCO and related things. Or just pick a wabbajack, I hear Tempus Maledictum is one that people like.
