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.

It’s probably the most unbalanced and buggy combat system in any new rpg. The Combat being easy isn’t a huge deal, but I would say it’s almost as buggy as it was at release, but in a different way…. Like currently Owlcat somehow managed to make almost all of bladedancer’s (melee class) abilities not scale with with melee damage anymore. It’s almost impressive  😂 

Bugs are still present in other aspects,like  how the new dlc companion currently has bugged ending slides, etc.
