What game do you recommend someone who likes the mechanics but not the setting of Baldur's Gate 3? (lemm.ee)

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?

Pillars of Eternity 1&2? (only 2 has turn based combat) They're free* on gamepass if you got it. Don't play the console versions of 2.

Why don't play on console?

The port wasn't handled in-house and it's not very good. Constant crashes, bad performance, minute long load times.
