Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition
RPGStory RichStrategy- Why it's similar
- Larian's earlier sandbox offers the same four-player co-op chaos with elemental surfaces and teleport tricks that can bypass entire encounters. Expect that mischievous DM energy in every scene.
- Choose it when
- Adventurers who just finished BG3 and want to keep causing mayhem in a wilder rulebook.
- But
- You trade D&D 5e for Larian's own elemental reaction system, and cinematic set-pieces give way to a more anarchic playground where creative solutions always beat brute force.
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition
RPGStory RichStrategy- Why it's similar
- Once again you're deciding the fate of the world, with ten Mythic Paths—from angel to swarm—that dramatically reshape your hero's abilities and story branch. The buildcrafting rabbit hole goes absurdly deep.
- Choose it when
- Buildcrafters who enjoy poring over rulebooks and planning every level-up well in advance.
- But
- The dense Pathfinder ruleset demands a steep learning curve, and while the scale is grander, the cinematic polish is traded for sheer mechanical depth and a longer campaign.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
RPGStory RichChoices- Why it's similar
- You'll find the same top-tier prose and faction writing that made BG3's companions shine. Sailing through the Deadfire archipelago, every dialogue with the island's factions feels like a short story.
- Choose it when
- Players who treasured BG3's narrative and companions more than its combat.
- But
- The ship-based open map changes the rhythm from on-rail questing to free exploration across an archipelago, and the presentation is text-first—no cinematic camera, but the writing is so rich it doesn't matter.
Wasteland 3
RPGStrategyStory Rich- Why it's similar
- You'll again lead a squad through turn-based firefights that reward careful positioning and clever use of the environment. The choice-and-consequence bones are strong, and co-op makes it shared chaos.
- Choose it when
- Groups who want to share a campaign filled with morally gray decisions that have real body counts.
- But
- This time it's post-apocalyptic Colorado instead of Faerun, with guns and cold survival replacing spells and fantasy. Squad tactics demand you manage abilities like Turrets and animal companions, and the humor lands with a darker edge.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister
RPGTacticsStrategy- Why it's similar
- Faithfully adapting D&D 5e, you roll real dice with a four-hero party where light, climbing, and flying genuinely matter in every dungeon. It's the rules-heavy half of BG3 taken to the tabletop extreme.
- Choose it when
- Rules lawyers who know the sourcebooks by heart and live for by-the-book encounters.
- But
- The cinematic storytelling steps back to let the rulebook lead: verticality is everything, and you'll read spell descriptions as often as dialogue lines. Production values are modest, but the simulation is impeccable.
