Talisman (Revised 4th Edition) is about questing, exploring, gearing and leveling up as well as a final confrontation (the scenario card). Although PvP is possible.
Relic - based on the Talisman engine (but improved) - offers the same without PvP. Although it has a SciFi theme.

I agree these games seem to be what you are looking for, although from one play of Relic, I feel the 'exploration' is rather limited (decisions generally amount to: do I go left on the track, or right on the track?).
You might also consider one of the many 'dungeon crawl' games out there. There are a bunch of D&D games, Mice and Mystics, or you could experiment with a modern fantasy game like Eldritch Horror - a coop race to avert a cataclysm. There are also games like Arabian Nights you might enjoy.
Either way, if you do not like PVP, Rune Wars is definitely not the game for you.
