I’ll second Dragon Age since it’s less action oriented than Mass Effect (which is great but OP seems more interested in strategy/management than shooting)
Mass Effect has a “tactical pause” feature though, but it feels less Baldur-like :)

Some friends and I were so hooked on the gameplay demo (we’re big fans of the Mass Effect trilogy), then it was cancelled and replaced by Prey, which was very different (more horror centric and less space opera)
Less than 1000€ for dozens of games I’ve played, I think the average price I payed is 15€, so I don’t feel robbed
I mostly buy on GOG whenever possible though, even if it means I have to wait a year or two
Woops, typo
Odyssey is more recent but Black Flag definitely has better storms
So Barilla, the homophobic pasta maker, works with Spotify, the pro-Trump streaming platform
I played stealth games like Hitman like a mass murderer.
I also play the “infiltrator” class in Mass Effect without tactical cloak. I mean it’s a mix of soldier and engineer, why should it be focused on stealth ?
The first Witcher game is quite old but you could like the gameplay (it’s not action oriented, unlike the 2 following Witcher games)
It’s honestly not great looking but the story is great, and who knows, you might fall in love with a great franchise :)
