The Quest For Glory series from Sierra. They ended up making 5 and you could import your character from the previous game with some save disks. You could pick between a fighter, a thief, or a magic user and grow from there. In the later games you could grow and be a paladin, a sorcerer (with a staff), or the lead to a thieves guild depending on your choices. In the last game you got to become a king and pick a love interest that you met from previous games. The 4th game had a hot vampire babe, so normally tried to marry her.

I played the first game a lot when I was younger, the 16 color EGA version with a command line interface. I got pretty good at typing and spelling as a kid because of that game. The version I had was "Hero's Quest", it's the same game, but a board game company sued them over the name, so later releases are called "Quest for Glory".
Yup! I loved typing in the first 2 games. The 3rd changed it to more point and click. What were those code phrases you could use for the debugging cheats? Eramus rooting tootin root beer and something about suck blue frog toad....idk it was awhile ago. Fun times.
I still remember being nervous about entering the brigands hideout the first time. That minotaur guy killed me a lot and getting through the jester was fun.
I remember "Hut of Brown, Now Sit Down", and I remember finding the brigand camp and getting absolutely slaughtered the first few times. And there was a thing called an "Antwerp", which I thought was funny later on when I found out Antwerp was a real place.
AGDI did a remake of Quest for Glory II, which was pretty good when I played it. A pity the entire series wasn't redone like that.
