    If by "as good" we mean the writing? Nothing. The closest I've played is probably Witcher 3, and that's still a distant second. The other game everyone brings up is Planescape: Torment, but I haven't played it.

    Other than DE the most communist game I've played is probably Victoria 3.

      I dunno about the second one but the only other game I’ve ever played where the writing wasn’t absolute drivel is Pillars of Eternity. It’s quite good IMO

        I liked pillars for the story but I found the combat extremely boring and repetitive. Once you’ve found the buffs and debufs that works it’s just a matter of applying them by rote. Sadly there is loads of combat. If pillars was more like disco with less combat and more interesting dialogue checks I think it would be a much better game.

          Same problems that BG2 has - they kinda bound themselves when the Kickstarter was "we want to make a modern BG2"
