💚 Why BG3 fans love it: Made by Larian Studios — same creative freedom, deep tactical combat, and richly written world. This is the direct predecessor to BG3 and shares its DNA completely.
2

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

CRPGPS4 · PC · Xbox⭐ 85 / 100

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a sprawling CRPG with incredibly deep character building, a massive campaign, and the same kind of complex moral choices that define BG3. If you want more tactical RPG depth, this delivers in spades.

💚 Why BG3 fans love it: Deep D&D-adjacent ruleset, massive campaign, and complex companion relationships — for players who want even more tactical depth than BG3 offers.
3

Dragon Age: Origins

RPGPC · PS3 · Xbox 360⭐ 91 / 100

Dragon Age: Origins is the spiritual ancestor of BG3 — a dark fantasy RPG with exceptional companion writing, meaningful choices that shape the world, and tactical combat. Origins remains one of the greatest western RPGs ever made and essential for any BG3 fan.

💚 Why BG3 fans love it: Same dark fantasy tone, deeply written companions with their own agendas, and a world that changes based on your choices — the game that paved the way for BG3.
4

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

CRPGPS4 · PC · Xbox · Switch⭐ 88 / 100

Pillars of Eternity II is a beautifully written CRPG set in a seafaring world of gods and mortals. The writing is exceptional, the companion characters are deeply realized, and the freedom to approach quests in multiple ways mirrors what makes BG3 so compelling.

💚 Why BG3 fans love it: Same richly written world, deeply realized companions, and freedom to solve problems through combat, dialogue, or creative thinking.
5

Disco Elysium

RPGPS4 · PC · Xbox⭐ 97 / 100

Disco Elysium is perhaps the most brilliantly written RPG ever made. A detective story set in a decaying city, it replaces combat almost entirely with dialogue, skill checks, and roleplaying. If you love BG3's writing and character building, this will blow your mind.

💚 Why BG3 fans love it: The best writing in any RPG — period. If you love how BG3 lets you roleplay your character through dialogue, Disco Elysium takes that to an extreme.
6

Solasta: Crown of the Magister

CRPGPC · Xbox⭐ 78 / 100

Solasta is a lower-budget CRPG that faithfully implements D&D 5e rules — the same ruleset as BG3. If you love BG3's tactical combat and want more of it in a different campaign, Solasta delivers authentic D&D mechanics with surprisingly engaging dungeon crawling.

💚 Why BG3 fans love it: Authentic D&D 5e rules in a new campaign — perfect for players who specifically love BG3's tactical combat system and want more of it.
7

Tyranny

CRPGPC⭐ 82 / 100

Tyranny is a unique CRPG where you play as a servant of an evil overlord who has already conquered the world. The moral complexity, exceptional writing, and freedom to define your character's values make it one of the most interesting RPGs in the genre — and criminally underplayed.

💚 Why BG3 fans love it: Exceptional writing, morally complex choices, and a unique premise that flips the usual RPG power fantasy on its head in fascinating ways.
8

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Action RPGPS5 · PS4 · PC · Xbox · Switch⭐ 97 / 100

The Witcher 3 matches BG3's ambition in world-building and storytelling. While it's an action RPG rather than turn-based, the richness of the world, the quality of the writing, and the depth of the companion relationships rival anything in the CRPG genre.

💚 Why BG3 fans love it: Same level of writing quality, world richness, and companion depth — in a massive open world action RPG that offers a different but equally rewarding experience.
9

Neverwinter Nights 2

CRPGPC⭐ 82 / 100

Neverwinter Nights 2 is an older CRPG set in the Forgotten Realms — the same D&D universe as Baldur's Gate. The Mask of the Betrayer expansion in particular features some of the best writing and most emotionally complex storytelling in CRPG history.

💚 Why BG3 fans love it: Same Forgotten Realms setting and D&D ruleset — a classic CRPG with exceptional writing that fans of BG3's lore will feel right at home with.
10

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

RPGPS5 · PC · Xbox⭐ New 2025

One of the most acclaimed new RPGs, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 delivers the kind of emotionally rich storytelling and deep character writing that BG3 fans crave. Its mature themes, complex companions, and stunning presentation have made it one of the most talked-about RPGs in years.

💚 Why BG3 fans love it: Deep character writing, morally complex story, and companions that feel like real people — the newest entry in the tradition of excellent story-driven RPGs.
