Hi, I can't get enough D&D, so was wondering if someone could suggest a computer game that involves actual role-playing, like making a character with personality where interacting with the world based on that personality matters? I've tried some of the traditional D&D games (like DDO), and there is essentially no role-playing involved. You just build characters and run around and kill stuff. That's the hack-and-slash version of D&D that I don't enjoy. I'd preferably like games that aren't super expensive; I think maybe WoW might fit my RP desires, but the $15/month subscription is too steep for me. And I don't want a PvP game. Any suggestions? (Edit: Specifically I'm looking for PC and/or Android games)

Edit: Thanks for all the great suggestions. I've "wishlisted" a lot of them and decided to start with Disco Elysium. I expect to try a bunch of the others throughout the year!

Consider Disco Elysium.

Seconded, but do also strongly consider pirating it. The original devs have have been fired from their studio. Essentially Kombus and Haavel took out company funds and bought majority share of the company with it, then fired the original devs. Honestly it's kind of fitting if you enjoy the game in a non-consumerist manner.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to start with Disco Elysium; it sounds really interesting.

Disco Elysium was inspired by Planescape: Torment, which is a D&D game! It's got a really deep story and roleplaying so check it out!
