It's absolutely nothing like most CRPGS but play Disco Elysium if you get the opportunity. I've dabbled in plenty of CRPGS in my time but this one was a masterpiece and revitalised my love fo rthe genre.
Owlcat's works are also worth looking into. They are amongst the most honest adaptation of ttrpg system to a computer game. Bonus if you prefer Pathfinder to DnD. I am salivating over the 40k Rogue Trader they are making.
Have you tried the Rogue Trader playtest? I put in about 10 hours, which doesn't cover all the content at all, and I really enjoyed it. The combat was a bit hit and miss for me, but the story and the characters were the real standout.
Haven't yet, have a massive backlog of games plus over things to worry about but I will probably be getting it at release.
