Divinity: Original Sin 2
Made by the same studio as BG3, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is the closest thing to Baldur's Gate 3 in existence. Deep tactical combat, exceptional writing, total freedom to approach every situation creatively, and companions with rich backstories. It's essential for any BG3 fan.
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
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.
Dragon Age: Origins
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.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
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.
Disco Elysium
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.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister
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.
Tyranny
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.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
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.
Neverwinter Nights 2
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.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
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.
