Yep. Mage 2nd Edition was particularly good with regards to that while still supporting a dice-and-mechanics-heavy game around it. I've never played Nobilis seriously due to lack of friends to do it with, a major problem in an RPG, but it has some beautiful game design decisions. (Highly recommended for CS geeks, which I understand the author is. My single favorite thing is a table listing comparables for answering the question "The player wants to do something which is flatly impossible. How flatly impossible is it?" It's a game where if the action is only as impossible grabbing the moon between your thumb and finger and putting it in a velvet bag then you can certainly try to go for it.)
