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?

Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics.

Shadowrun Returns.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader.

XCOM.

This does only assume by setting you mean "fantasy." If you just mean Forgotten Realms, there are tons of fantasy turn based tactical RPGs. Owlcat has a bunch of good shit like Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous.

Shout-out to Shandowrun Returns! OP start with 1, then 2 then 3. If you do any other order the mechanics of 1 will disappoint you, despite the story being great!

Do you mean the DLCs or have they actually made 2 sequels that I somehow never heard about?

Shadowrun Hong Kong is the proper sequel. The dragonfall expansion got a standalone director's cut release too.
