I got hooked on Pillars of Eternity (the original vanilla game), might be worth a look if you’re into top-down ‘Baldur’s Gate’ type RPGs. Big huge map, non-linear storyline, lots of things to find. Stats, items, classes, dialogue options that are often dependent on stats and choices affect the storyline. You can add NPCs/hirelings to your party - play through by unlocking and adding the regular NPCs and wind up with a conventional group (dude with shield, healer, damage dealers), or try to get through as a Rogue with a bunch of ranged damage dealer Cipher hirelings to snipe the hard targets. Play through choosing ‘evil’ dialogue options, or try to get through solo without adding anyone else to your party (there are achievements and one of them is to run through solo, some others are playing through without main character dying, or playing through with a lot of UI targetting helpers and tooltips disabled).

My last playthrough I was running through to try to get the Triple Crown Solo achieve (solo/no dying/‘hard mode’ toggled) and had a second playthrough without ‘no dying’ toggled, so I’d crawl through the story a little on the ‘dying allowed’ file until I was confident I could advance a bit on the triple crown save, then jump to that file and advance the story. Ultimate time waster.

I’ve played through it a half a dozen times easily, each time it plays out different and I wind up discovering a lot of things I must’ve missed in prior playthroughs. It’s the kind of game you can dive into until you’re kind of bored with it, then weeks/months later you’re looking through your Steam library, glance at it, think of maybe trying to get through as a Paladin, and next thing you know you’re hours into yet another playthrough.
