This is pretty much the exact game I wished I was playing when I went through the Baldur's Gate games. There's a heavy emphasis on player choice and agency, combat that's actually fun with encounters that aren't absurdly frustrating and a great story carried by some of the most well written prose and dialogue I've ever read in a video game. While it does feel like a book at times and suffers from a few issues like occasionally awkward AI pathfinding and unresponsive controls, it never failed to grip me.
