What are some more modern RPGs that actually give you a choice, and that choice impacts the game. What are some games that don’t hold your hand and you can mess up your entire playthrough by choosing the wrong dialogue option or killing a faction leader? In an RPG you are supposed to be role playing and immersing yourself, I’m tired of the games that don’t let you kill “essential” NPCs or screw over companions to make them leave/ turn hostile. The only recent game I can think of it ‘Outer Worlds’ which is completely pozzed with a dumb story, but at least your choices mattered and there wasn’t essential NPCs.
Baldur's Gate 3. You can choose to have gay sex with a bear, like Rusty.
So we walked down the hill into all those fears and maybes, all that sorrow, nothing certain in our lives except the frozen earth beneath our feet.

Contributions are welcome. The games without reviews are games I personally endorse and may get around to writing a review someday.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Here is my recommendation : Diablo 4, Forspoken and Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn aka Forspoken 2 and Starfield.

Jokes aside, outside of indies like UnderRail, the unique good modern AAA RPG is Elden Ring.
