Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer (www.pcgamer.com)

"Aggressively cliché" huh?

So... Where are all the realistic medieval sandbox RPGs? You know, of the kind set in an actual historical period?

Or... Or... How often has capturing the freedom and complexity of D&D in a videogame been attempted so accurately?

For something to even approach becoming a cliché there'd have to be a lot of that particular something done in exactly that particular way. So please do give a nice long list of games exactly like Kingdom Come Deliverence and Baldur's Gate 3, because clearly everyone must've missed them.
