Non-simple Stats, story, which are generally RPG elements, maybe not wRPG specific, but there all the same.

Role-Playing defines Role-Playing Game to me.
GTA San Andreas was more of a RPG to me that was Diablo 2 (though I liked both very much). But I'm an ex-WFRP player, purely computer players probably don't understand what I'm trying to say at all ;P

Yeah, so true, all the PnP RPG gamers know that cRPGs have nearly nothing in common with real RPG games. All they took is stats, levels, experience progression etc from Dungeons and Dragons, which might be one of the more popular RPG games, but is not representative in any way of the whole hobby.

Entirely different kinds of playstyles with the same character,possibly with no boundaries on terms of options. Quests that require thinking, some quests that require no violence, or simply the fact that you can solve quests in multiple ways (Talking, stealth, combat). In these hack and shashes you can choose that you hit them with an axe, sword, mace, halberd,ranged weapons or cast something on them. This is not an option. You MUST kill them, and you only can choose the means.
Some of these games have exceptional story and/or world lore, but that still won't make them RPGs. Just a really well done H&S

Played both, but honestly, I found Sacred 2 just terrible.

What about the Deathspank games? They're rather silly, but are the type of game you're looking for mechanic-wise.

You have pretty much played all the best "Hack & Slash" games you'll find on the PC unless you are looking to play older games, many which were mentioned above. If you have access to the PS2, there are a couple good series to check out, such as the Champions of Norrath series, the Bauldur's Gate: Dark Alliance series (VERY different then the PC RPG series), and the X-Men: Legends series.
A few good PC games though that come to mind.
Also, checking around online, a few free to play MMOs popped up that claim to play like Path of Exile and Diablo, such as Akaneiro: Demon Hunters, KingsRoad, and Drakensang Online, though I have never played any of those personally.
Hope you find something good to hold you over for a while! Great Hack & Slash games are few and far between!

Played Drakensang 2-3 years ago, was okay but heavy pay 2 win and a pay wall at some point to progress, no idea how it is now, but its still propably quite good to play for some time, as long as you dont expect too much of it.
Also wouldnt recommend The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot, similiar issues to Drakensang, heavy pay 2 win and a paywall to progress.

I know its not really similiar, but pretty much anything I could think of was already posted, have you played Alien Swarm?
It has quite nice progression, classes, and killing tons of stuff. Another thing might be Gauntlet (havent played so no idea how it is) and Hammerwatch.

I'm wanting to get into more games like Diablo or path of Exile, in the terms of their loot system and such.
Finding legendary items and so on.
I have Diablo 2/3, Path of Exile, since it's free, Van Helsing 1/2 and Torchlight 1/2
However I couldn't get into Diablo 2 (Too old for me), Path of Exile (No idea why) and Van Helsing 1/2 (Too confusing in a way).
