The Witcher 2 is about hunting an assassin, clearing your name, and recovering your memories.
Sounds boring.

Good time to point out that Planescape Torment is merely about recovering your memories.The Witcher 2 is about hunting an assassin, clearing your name, and recovering your memories.

Jagged Alliance series (you're just "saving" a random third-world country)
Telepath Tactics (you're fighting local bandit lords and slavers, irrelevant on a global scale)
Battle Brothers (I think)
Wizardry 4, Paper Sorcerer (pretty sure you aren't saving the world in either of these)
Geneforge can be get downright world-savish when you think about it. Save the world from the Shapers' rigid domain, or save the world from Shaping run amok?
From 2015 that I played:
The Age of Decadence
Pillars of Eternity
PoE is the antithesis of saving the world in that there's nothing to save and just give a big depressing existential sign.
Just goes to show you need something compelling to make the story involving.

No idea what the fuck you are talking about since I saved Dyrwood from the Hollowborn curse. Big depressing existential sign? You sound like a nihilist teenager.
Pool of Radiance
It's a mission-based adventure to liberate the city of Phlan from its overlord.
WL2. Darklands. EoB. Ravenloft. I think Wizardry 7 (since the world saving happens in 8), definitely 6. Wiz 1. MMX. Dark Sun you just fight against tyranny. There are a ton. I think more than not. At least for crpgs and not console bullshit or jrpgs where the little kids who like that shit like to save the universe and be the best hero ever invented.

In Darklands, you save the world (prevent the apocalypse by defeating the ultimate evil) if you follow the story, the ending is pretty epic. You just don't have to, but that's true for e.g. all the Bethesda games as well.
