The OG SW:KOTOR RPG. One of my friends raves about it but I couldn’t get used to the controls.
I did like The Witcher 2, for reference.

KotOR’s control scheme is definitely weird. It’s a turn based game but the turns are obfuscated to appear like real time. On top of that, it’s in an engine intended for top-down isometric mouse-driven gameplay but it’s been kludged into an over-the-shoulder console game, then that control scheme was kludged back to mouse-driven for the PC port. It felt real good on the original Xbox way back in 2003, but if I hadn’t played it back then I would probably have some difficulty with it now.
The writing is shockingly good, though, especially for 2003. It was the best thing in the expanded universe for a good while.
