Divinity: Original Sin II
Divinity: Original Sin II shares a focus on tactical, turn-based combat and an expansive narrative that allows for player choice, but it emphasizes cooperative gameplay more than Inquisition’s heroic journey.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Dragon Age: Inquisition is a role-playing game and the third main game in the Dragon Age series. It is set in the Thedas continent, the same fantasy world as the two previous games. It consist of two large countries: Ferelden (from Dragon Age: Origins) and Orlais, as well as the land inbetween. True to the spirit of the series the character can be customized for appearance, sex, class and race. The available races are dwarf, elf, human, and Qunari and the classes are mage, rogue, and warrior with three specializations each. To grow the Inquisition experience needs to be earned by completing quests, which allows the player to further define allegiances and pursue romances. A custom party can be defined and each member benefits from experience as it opens up access to better weapons and more abilities. Power points open up new areas and Inquisition points define the influence over the region; each new level provides a perk that benefits the entire Inquisition.

Three titles that echo something distinctive in this one, with a quick note on the connection.
The Outer Worlds
The Outer Worlds presents a similarly expansive role-playing experience steeped in player agency and faction dynamics, yet it operates within a sci-fi setting with a distinctive corporate satire angle, contrasting with Inquisition's high-fantasy context.
Wasteland 3
Wasteland 3 features a post-apocalyptic world where player choices impact the landscape and factions, much like Inquisition, but its setting and tone underscore a grimmer reality, whereas Inquisition maintains a more traditional fantasy epic feel.
