I guess I'm still not certain which system would be the best to try for a beginner, even though I do have programming skills.

To elaborate on what I'm interested in doing, and maybe you can help point me in the best direction for the concept:

RPG
Somewhat elaborate in story, but hopefully not too overwhelming to produce.

Several races involved, and I want to showcase their racial uniqueness artistically, if possible.

Several unique "areas," explorable. (e.g. - desert, mountain, town)

One main character, but interesting supporting characters.

Preferably no fighting system, if I can get around it, I want the completion to rely mostly on ingenuity, but I think it would be interesting to program, so either way.

Mostly, I'm looking for something that I can do most of the above, without making it so overwhelming to work on that I feel like giving up.

Creatively flexible, I guess, but still somewhat simple to use?
