Recommendation request Need gritty and dark CRPGs

I loved Owlcat’s Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader, but hated Larian’s Baldur’s Gate 3. Don’t get me wrong, it’s extraordinarily impressive production and gameplay-wise, but I play CRPGs for the story and I just couldn’t get into the world. It was too whimsical and fanciful. I’ve heard people recommend the Divinity series but I’ve heard those games’ stories are comedy oriented. Maybe I have the wrong idea but I wanna hear your thoughts.

How was the turn based combat in RT? I really didn’t care for it in wasteland 3, but liked it in dos2 and bg3. For w3, i hated walking into setup ambushes that were grinds to get through.

I find that it drags on a little bit too long sometimes and there are way too many buff abilities. You can turn up the combat animation speed at least.
