    Pathfinder Kingmaker or Wrath of the Righteous are probably better alternatives, since Pathfinder fixes at least some of the problems with D&D (Pathfinder 2e fixes more than 1e did, but those games are both 1e). Kingmaker at least has some dogshit brainworms (haven't played Wrath of the Righteous so I can't comment on its brainworms), but is probably the best CRPG I've ever seen apart from that problem.

      WotR is about leading a war against the demons, instead of ruling a kingdom under siege, so it has fewer brainworms.

      However, there is a radical centrist Lawful Neutral brained path lol

        Even moreso in act 4 when you enter the abyss and are then tasked with punishing people based on their laws.

        For fucks sake, you get a literal devil as an advisor in act 3.

          I admittedly have only played a full Azata run and like mid chapter 3 of a Lich run. Then Baldur's Gate 3 had it's full release lol.
