When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
I'll bump this once or twice just in case, but I don't want to be too annoying about it...
Could you be more specific? Do you remember anything about the story, setting, art, etc.?
The cover art and all of the menu art were of the model in live-action shots. She is wearing fantasy armor and making somewhat menacing looks. The actual of the game (or at least the "box art picture" that showed up in my library) was a close of of her very blue eyes through a helmet.
The setting was pure Standard Medieval Fantasy, though I only remember humans as far as races go. Very European feel to the setting.
The plot, from what I remember, was a sort of standard "girl from a small town discovers large magical conspiracy" sort of thing. I didn't get all that far into it, and this was like 8-10 years ago. I think there was also a sort of secret society or cult that was manipulating things behind the scenes maybe?
One element I really remember was the emphasis on trading goods. You could find certain items in some towns and sell them for a tidy profit in other towns.
There were sidequests in the towns as well, sort of your standard fantasy fare from what I remember.
And combat was turn-based from a third-person format. I remember getting a guy to join the party. Combat used an action point system, where you get a point each turn and can either immediately do a normal attack or defend and save up for a more powerful attack later.
That's most of what I recall from the 4-5 hours I played it. I just sort of put it aside and never came back to it, and now that I want to give it another go, I simply can't think of it.

Just for the archives' sake, I tracked it down. It's Gods: Lands of Infinity.

So I used to have this game on a now discontinued PC game service, and I cannot for the life of me remember what the heck it was called.
It was a European game but had an English translation and (I think) voice cast.
The main things I remember are that the woman on the cover and title screen was a real actress/model and served as the basis for the in-game character model.
Traversal was in first-person format, and combat was turn-based in third person. The game was 3D rendered, but older, like 2004-2008 maybe?
Anyone have any ideas on what the heck game this was? I remember most of it so vividly...except the damn name!
