It is important to note that FG is a tool to allow players to play a paper & pen roleplaying game that exists in your imagination.
CRPGs & Video games are awesome! I love them, ive been playing them since they were text based like in that old old movie "Big" (tom hanks)... but there is a very limited set of options you have in CRPGS that literally does not exist in RPGs. You can do anything and be anyone. You are only limited by your imagination (and the GM's imagination).
Your comparison of the limits of FG vs. CRPG is similar to saying, "I love watching movies, but i think they are missing the functionality of allowing me to control what the character does..."
Movies can be great too, but its a closed story, you are simply an observer.
CRPGS are fun, its a closed story & set of rigid options available based on the specific ruleset and options / map / characters programmed by the developers.
TTRPGs are unlimited by story, unlimited by options, and most importantly the character is yours to create anyway you want and develop anyway you desire.
Reading about Drizz't or watching Conan can be super entertaining... but it barely holds a candle to some of the story arcs & character development my own player characters have experienced.
