I don't play many PC games these days because of how woke a lot of the shit is. I got burned on Cyberpunk, so now I pretty much play FS2020 and that's it these days. The last game I played through was System Shock remake, which I found to be decent enough.
BG3 won game of the year from Worth a Buy, but I hear it has a lot of gay sex?
I don't really like how most of the characters look so I passed on it. If you like tabletop RPGs you might enjoy it despite the negative parts.
Lately, I've found it's easy to judge the quality of an RPG's companions (and by extension, the quality of the RPG as a whole) simply by just looking at them. Do they look like they were designed with woke sensibilities in mind? Do they seem like they're meant to appeal to a very specific and narrow sexual fetish? Are they wearing obviously gay fashion just to loudly flaunt how gay they are? Look out of place in the setting? Are the females overwhelmingly ugly, plain, and/or sporting odd facial proportions, yet still advertised as love interests? Do they seriously look like they could be skilled adventurers with storied pasts who could probably have been the cover heroes (or villains) of their own tales, and not like they were selected from a stock catalogue of NPC images or by pressing the Randomize button on FaceGen? If the answer to at least a couple of these questions is yes, then chances are you got a really bad roster and RPG with it.
Dragon Age II, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Baldur's Gate 3 definitely got the alarm bells ringing for me for all the above reasons.
I loved tabletop RPG, been 20 years though, never did D&D but several other systems...
D&D Jumped the shark at 4th Edition. 5th doesn't quite suck as hard, but it is still a narrow take on the heroes journey.
In reality D&D rules are made to tell a story about killing things and taking their stuff from 1st to 12 level. That is it.
If you want to play some other kind of game that revolves around court intrigue, assassination attempts, solving a mystery or some such ... don't play D&D.
I recommend Reign by Greg Stolze.

Available as PDF, it scales better than D&D and is capable of more stories than just "I attack the goblins! How much loot do they have?!"
That'd be great and all, but kind of out of it at this point in my life unfortunately.
I mainly did White Wolf (Warewolf & Vampire) and Shadowrun, and several others a little. Knew people who were into LARP but never crossed that line myself.
