Just finished some fanmade campaigns of the Shadowrun video games and I feel like playing more CRPGs now.
I'm fine with most anyhting as long as the plot is good, the characters/party members are likable (and preferably attractive if you get chick members/romances), and the world is interesting. A good combat system would be preferable if possible. Settings don't matter to me, could be fantasy, post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, etc.
If you can roleplay in dialogue effectively, that's cool too. I don't need the game to be overly complex like having 30 different ways to do every mission, but having at least a few options would be nice. I enjoyed Shadowrun's approach personally so anything like that would be cool.
I was enjoying Dragon Age Origins earlier this year until my HDD failed with my save data on it and don't feel like starting it back up again, RIP.
Not interested in Baldur's Gate 3 atm, plus my laptop would probably chug while running it anyways.
Larian Studios Divinity Original Sins 2, best tactical combat with surprises I've ever seen. Same studio that made Baldur's Gate 3, but with really impressive combat and decent story. You play their games for the combat, the RP element is good, but not a pre-Zombie Bioware level of writing.
There is pillars of eternity, but the writing is not the best in my opinions. Okish fights, interesting class mechanics, losely similar to Baldur's Gate 2. They did have ship combat I liked a lot as a minigame for what it was, felt like I was I playing an old 1987 5 1/2" disk text game for the ship portion loads of fun and memories.
