I saw people going on about how great BG3 is on this site, so I thought I'd check out a let's play to see what all the fuss was about. I immediately fell in love with the graphics and the mechanics, such as the classes, races, spells, dice etc, but I disliked the emphasis on gore/horror in the game, and I know I wouldn't enjoy playing a game with that whole brain horror thing going on. Not to mention the price and storage requirements being excessive. (150GB!)

So, bearing in mind that, is there a game that would match my criteria, and if not, what do you think comes closest?

Not all violence is a deal breaker, just really grim stuff, like those pus balls exploding, or the worm burrowing into the characters' eyes, exposed brains, that sort of thing.

So I'll reinforce my first suggestion to look into turn-based CRPG as a genre and see for yourself. That's where you'll find most of the mechanics you seem to want and you won't have to take the opinions of strangers as to how much gore is too much for you.
