Larian came a long way before it released three veritable behemoths of the RPG genre. The road that was concluded with Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 began with a highly successful hybrid of hack'n'slash and role-playing game – the imperfect, albeit great Divine Divinity.
Give Us Dune RPG at Last! This Setting is Perfect Material

Diablo almost always exuded darkness, but brought seemingly binary morality. Spoiler: it was never really like that. This world was drowning in a sea of grayness from the beginning. However, only Diablo 4 really taps into this moral ambiguity.

Saving the World is So Boring, With One Exception - Final Fantasy 6!
