Hi, I can't get enough D&D, so was wondering if someone could suggest a computer game that involves actual role-playing, like making a character with personality where interacting with the world based on that personality matters? I've tried some of the traditional D&D games (like DDO), and there is essentially no role-playing involved. You just build characters and run around and kill stuff. That's the hack-and-slash version of D&D that I don't enjoy. I'd preferably like games that aren't super expensive; I think maybe WoW might fit my RP desires, but the $15/month subscription is too steep for me. And I don't want a PvP game. Any suggestions? (Edit: Specifically I'm looking for PC and/or Android games)

Edit: Thanks for all the great suggestions. I've "wishlisted" a lot of them and decided to start with Disco Elysium. I expect to try a bunch of the others throughout the year!

Lord of the rings online. Yes it's old, but it's still a beautiful game. You customize your race, appearance, class, etc. You can play solo or join a kinship (guild.) Some kinships are roleplaying exclusively, some are not. I've found the community to be more welcoming and friendly than other MMOs. There are multiple servers with different countries of origin and some servers have more roleplaying too. Check out lotro-wiki.com if you're interested.
