For what it’s worth, the story to the main campaign of NWN2 is pretty tropey and bland. However, you should give Mask of the Betrayer a shot if you don’t mind main campaign spoilers and think story could keep you invested over gameplay. I never finished it, but the story was quite fresh and unique. It’s wildly well reviewed, to the point that while you have to deal with the Epic level rules, its still worth playing a bit just for the weirdness involved.
RIP my sweet extra throwing damage.
Storytelling was a bit bleh, but the game wasn’t bad. They did lose me when the fully armored lady knight suddenly became a Mommy Smash Me giantess though.
I was a bit less patient and got TotK, however I’ve been playing the StrategyRPG subreddit’s GOTM for the past few months (hope that community moves here), and enjoying those. Old SRW games, Dragon Force for the Saturn, Fire Emblem on GameCube etc.
Aside from that, I picked it up a year or so ago, but I also finally started Disco Elysium, though I’m playing through it very slowly and intermittently for fear it will eat my life (and it’s just so heavy on the mind).
EDF!
