I like the idea of playing these RPG games but can't stand the combat. This is why Disco Elysium is my favourite game of all time. It had RPG elements, great story, narration, dialogue and voice acting and wasn't bogged down by a combat system I didn't like.

I have tried Divinity I and II, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, Pillars of Eternity. I left them at some point because I did not enjoy the combat one bit. With Pathfinder I even tried story mode to trivialise the combat but since the combat is such a big part of the game, I didn't enjoy it even then.

If anyone here has played Baldur's Gate 3 please let me know of your experience. Even if I end up not liking it I would really like to hear what you all think of it.

i bought the early access about two weeks ago because i have a friend who bought it over a year ago and just raved about it, and the reviews on steam were positively glowing. I don't tend to like these games but i want to. I thought this might be the one that I like and discover a whole genre of games I usually avoid.

It wasn't. I ended up refunding it before 2 hours. I just can't get into these kinds of games at all.
