So I am looking for a dialogue and story heavy RPG (for console). Can be old or new, as long as I can get my hands on it!

I have played the Mass Effect Triology and the Dragon Age series, which I love. I have also played Skyrim, and liked it but it is more exploring and I want more story heavy games. For example I wasn’t too fan of DA: Inquisition when it came out due to it being more open world, so I lost the point of the main plot as it didn’t feel like I cared too much for the other followers except for Varric and Solas, and not to much about the story until the Trespasser/end game. Skyrim is cool to explore, but I also don’t have any care for my Dragonborn as she is both helping Daedra, being a mother, an assassin a thief but also a hero etc. To many elements going on to role-play like I want, lol. Still like it for relaxing game.

I like to play games where I can role-play, where I am invested, where there is a good story and good pace. With good characters and a world that feels alive. For example what I liked about DAO was the party members, the other characters as well, that my actions mattered, that I could tell someone off, that it had brothels, dilemmas and oppression (lifelike), but also a way to break away from it. If that makes sense? It made the world feel alive, and not just like a place where I am going to loot a chest.

I prefer sci-fi or fantasy, but I am open to other things as well!!
