Darksun - (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Sun:_Shattered_Lands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Sun:_Shattered_Lands)
Incredibly large number of ways to resolve any situation, and one of the best, and most flexible, opening sequences to a game that I've played to date.
The mainline Ultima series, notably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_VII:_The_Black_Gate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_VII:_The_Black_Gate was 1993 and started to get heavy on narrative.
Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravenloft:_Strahd%27s_Possession https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravenloft:_Strahd%27s_Possessi...
3 games in made back to back by that developer, all are worth playing.
The Summoning - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Summoning_(video_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Summoning_(video_game)
Predates Planescape Torment, but is in the same genre/feel.
Dragon Wars - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Wars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Wars
Open world RPG, fit on a single floppy disk. Start out as a slave, work you way up to leading (or suppressing!) revolutions. Less narrative heavy maybe, but still a great game, and one of the most groundbreaking IMHO. Needs more appreciation.
While I'll admit Baldur's Gate was a first for the very large amount of text included, it isn't like western RPGs were devoid of storyline prior to 1995.
