More 'Realistic' isn't really the right word - more logical and internally consistant is more accurate.
Why RuneQuest?

I'd describe combats with one word: brutal.
Not brutal in what I think of the mechanics, but brutal in the terms of what will happen to someone who gets in a fight. The system itself seem fairly simple, but my group has ended up with some fairly savage results as a result of limbs having separate pools of HPs.
Given that I've been looking for a system that delivers a "gritty" and dangerous feeling to combat, without being as mechanically "dense" as GURPS, I'm fairly happy with Runequest.

And as long as you have a very enjoyable character creation system... because that's what you'll be spending most of your time doing!
I find that lethal combat helps focus the game on other ways to solve problems
But MRQ does have very nice and smooth character creation
