Is there a game in this genre where you script your character? As a kid I made a few RuneScape bots and found that getting the logic right like "the world is in this state, what actions do you perform?" was the fun part about that.

I also never got the random events automated so I just read a book while it ran and killed it whenever one of those popped up.

If you want a game where you effectively script/program the entire gameplay, check out Bitburner: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1812820/Bitburner/

Most scripting games aren't really incremental games as such, although they do exist most notably in the form of a game called BitBurner.

However, it's more along the lines of HackMud, than a scriptable RPG, so it's not got the fantasy theming that progress quest / OSRS have.

There's another game which is more of a scriptable story driven RPG, although I can't remember the name of it now. It might be "While Heart.Break()" but off the top of my head I have a feeling that's more of a computer themed story driven isometric RPG than a scriptable isometric story-driven RPG, and there's another game which is, but I honestly can't remember right now, and this is my work account so I can't dig too deeply around the steam archive.
