Pillars of Eternity

One of the greatest CRPGs and IMO RPGs of all time. Incredible worldbuilding, character writing, music, and gameplay. Combat is enjoyable and you have a lot of options for different settings and game modes to customize the game to your liking. Tons of content to discover -- I've come back to this game for probably 3 or 4 playthroughs. Same with Deadfire, which I would say builds on this to be even better.

50/50 not like nor dislike

This is my first full CRPG that's not the original Runescape nor Arcuz. In one word, it's LEGENDARY like Skyrim Legendary. So many quests, choices and cool areas to explore. Enjoyed 200 hours in my first playthrough as I cried with laughter watching Durance get obliterated repeatedly followed by Eder and Aloth mocking him as they then got obliterated themselves while I try to make a run for it only to be petrified by an Adragan. There'll be so many of those moments: First time facing one of the dragons: whole group is KO'd within 5 seconds from the dragon breathing steam on you. Durance charging a giant ogre with his wooden staff only to instantly be wacked unconscious. Zahua, your teammate, thanking you for attacking him on purpose and screaming for MORE! Watching my wolf get blown up by a lame half-built shambling robot. Play this game, and you'll have so many stories to tell that nobody else could hope to comprehend. Each class has so much depth and is so well balanced and super cool to play: I've spent 800 hours playing only one of them (Ranger of course). The character leveling/attributes closely follows D&D specs so it can take some getting used but once you got it, you got it - until you start wondering if you could swap some points from Dexterity and put them into Intellect and down the rabbit hole you go. Hint: Perception is really important or you'll be missing every attack, took me way too long to figure that out.

Excellent game made even better by the recent turn based patch

Turn based! Heck yeah!
