Kings quest didn’t have character progression or choices to be made (at least in the ones I played). That’s pretty core to qualify as an rpg

Some of the KQ games had choices, but no character progression (one of the last ones if I recall, but it sucked). The QFG games had character progression and more choices than most RPGs.
