Try Tales of Maj'Eyal. It's free or about a fiver on Steam. The first thing you do after making a char is go to the skills screen so you can see how the different points affect the skills. There's stat points (mag, str, etc), talent points, category points and generic points, and they all interact somehow to produce your dmg values and skill effects. Everything in the character sheet has info on mouseover or you can just check the formulae for everything on the wiki.
Playing it yourself to actually see the values pan out would probably require you to get past level 10 or so, when your char feels like less of an empty generic shell and you start amassing some points.
Another +1 for ToME. One of the best games I've ever played, bar none. I have quite a few wins but I've been playing it for like 12 years now. The pre-Steam days were wild.
