So I just finished Dragon's Dogma 2, and I loved it. I really enjoyed just walking around the world, enjoying how huge and expansive it is, as well as the cutscenes, and having friendships with all the different characters. I loved it.

But at the same time, I felt like the storyline was a little bit basic. Like, every game can't be Red Dead Redemption, I get that, but it left me wanting more. The only choices that really made me grapple and sit with my decisions were a few side quests and the very end of the game.

So, here's what I'm looking for(ALL of these don't have to apply)

I'm looking for a game that is story-driven. Again, I'm not looking for Game of Thrones level complexity, just something interesting.
A character creator. I love character creators. Bonus points if the devs put effort into making brown skin tones look as good as the pale ones. Character creators don't count if the characters look freaky or expresionless during cutscenes(at that point I'd rather just play a predetermined character loll).
Difficult choices. I want choices that make me sit and stare at the wall for five minutes because holy fuck I didn't see that outcome coming.
Open World. Need I say more?
* Bonus points if there's a romantic subplot. Double bonus points if I can romance whoever I want, regardless of gender.

* Bonus points if there are plenty of cutscenes(my all time favorite part about story-driven games)

Thanks, luvs ^^

* I already know about Baldur's Gate
