If you can do cRPG gameplay, Baldur’s Gate 3 goes without saying, but I would also like to point out Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2, very underrated imo like almost all Obsidian games
I’m convinced it was all due to cut content, feels like they tried to stitch together disparate parts of what used to be a coherent whole (see accessing a mansion through a guard tower and such…).
probably. I remember by the time they announced they were done working on it the game had already past open beta for like four years. I was actually one of the people who ordered the early draft copies so I’ve seen the story writing and dialogue take some wild rewrites, usually in response to player feedback. sometimes very minute details. part of me thinks there was just too much stuff to tie together at the end and they ran out of time but another part of me wouldn’t have been surprised if the devs were just tired and ready to move on.

Avowed does expand the world of PoE a little bit if that interests you. Its set several hundred years after the events of 2 though.
Will add, prepare for a scatterbrained Third Act if you do pick up BG3. Acts I and II are ok, though.
agreed. act 3 was weird but it would be hard to tie all that together. I got through it and ended the game happy
