If you liked the Shadowrun games (I'm assuming you mean any in the Shadowrun Returns trilogy), then you might like Wasteland, particularly 2 and/or 3 (1 is for when you want something really old school). The combat system in them is pretty similar, and you have an opportunity to fully design your team, since up to four members in it are totally custom-built by you. Though this admittedly has the drawback in that party member aren't nearly as in-depth as Shadowrun's are. As for the stories, WL2's is pretty forgettable, but I actually really liked WL3's and was impressed by the choices you could make in it and the directions you could take it in.

Baldur's Gate 3 might sound like a dud for you, but Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 (and Throne of Bhaal) might be up your alley. If you liked Dragon Age: Origins, you might like them if their more old school design doesn't bother you; DAO was made to be a spiritual successor to them after all. BG1 is admittedly a bit slow, light on its story and NPC characterization, and not the most well-balanced game, but BG2 is an absolutely fantastic.

The Fallout games might be worth checking out. The combat in the first two isn't good IMO, but where they really shine is the way they're structured. There is no set plot for them; you're given a goal at the beginning to find something, a lead on where to start, and from there, are free to progress in any way you see fit. They let you figure things out on your own, and in that, they can let you feel really clever, like you're a detective actively figuring out a mystery. And if you want something more modern, well, Fallout 3 and New Vegas are good as well. The former hasn't aged too well for me, but the latter is one of my favorite RPGs of all time because of the sheer number of ways you can steer the story.

I'd recommend Divinity: Original Sin 1 and/or 2, since they have the same combat system as BG3 without any of the woke baggage, but I'm not so sure your computer will be able to handle it.
