Obsidian's first game in their RPG series launched in 2015 received a lot of praise. Pillars Of Eternity is a modern RPG that came at a great time (scoring a Metacritic score: 89/100) including Divinity: Original Sin which was released not long before, which helped signal the return of the offspring to today's gaming landscape. RPGs can be confusing games for newcomers, but today's streamlined features have made them more accessible to those interested.
Pillars of Eternity or its sequel would be a welcome "starting point", as it also implements a reward mechanism for players for mastering. Everything from the combat, the story, to the artistic design added to the game's world shows a complex level of care.
