I don't know if you quite understand the amount of programming and development that goes along with such a game. The timeframe is also quite constraining. They barely got to finish the Baldurs Gate story before the engine was outdated and the series was scrapped! The closest game I can remember to what you're talking about was Daggerfall. If you want a game with the kind of freedom you're talking about try that one. You do sacrifice an intricate plot for freedom though. The game really was a neat concept though and fun too, if lacking a bit in the engine.
