I remember a book series called "something of Krondor" or "Krondor the something" that was really violent and brutal. They made some RPGs based on it too, but I don't think they were ever popular; I have never encountered anyone else who ever read the books or played the games.
Read 'em in highschool and I haven't really thought about it since which is why I can't really remember the complete title or who the author was.
Well now you have. I played (and finished) Betrayal at Krondor.
That game was fun, but it was really big and easy to get bogged down by like halfway through it. I started it a lot but never managed to get through it all.
I never got to play the full game, myself. Had a demo of it on one of those CDs that had like 50 "games" on it, all demos or shareware versions. But it is what made me notice the first book I read after seeing it in my high school's library, since I recognized the name already.
Krondor the Betrayal by Raymond E Feist
All his books are great and most are connected in one big world (though you don’t have to read them as one epic series to enjoy them). Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master are commonly 2 of my top recommendations for people getting into fantasy.
A bunch are on sale on Kobo right now too.
