Sounds like you want to play a functional Star Citizen. I keep debating hopping into the alpha for $50 or whatever, but then realize that a buggy 30FPS would drive me crazy, I have a Steam backlog that will take 1,000 hours to clear with a few games I want to buy, plenty of games I beat years ago I kind of want to replay, and a job and life outside of video games.
Yes, naturally I bought SC years ago and here we are still waiting for them to make it work and move out of alpha. Some areas were even decently playable on my monster rig at the time but did have random crashes and NPCs standing on chairs, and I'm not going to waste any time on my character when it will just get wiped in the future anyway.
I should also make clear that I can have fun with hardcore RPGs and min-maxing or experimenting with DEX vs INT builds or whatever - when that's the game's style and how it was designed and advertised. (like BG3 is meant to feel like a tabletop session with dice rolls) It's when they tack on half-assed systems to other styles of games that you get the worst of both worlds and think "I have a gun, why can't I just shoot the guy point blank?"
