I saw people going on about how great BG3 is on this site, so I thought I'd check out a let's play to see what all the fuss was about. I immediately fell in love with the graphics and the mechanics, such as the classes, races, spells, dice etc, but I disliked the emphasis on gore/horror in the game, and I know I wouldn't enjoy playing a game with that whole brain horror thing going on. Not to mention the price and storage requirements being excessive. (150GB!)

So, bearing in mind that, is there a game that would match my criteria, and if not, what do you think comes closest?

Yes but it's not all of the stuff, far from it

It's not all as much gore as the brain parasite, but it's full of scenes that are every bit as dark and fucked up. I won't list anything in particular detail because of spoilers, but i've seen dozens of things that are super fucked up, and I'm not even out of act 1. I've had numerous people want to rip out eyeballs, failed a dice roll to mind control an enemy into eating himself, been suicide bombed, had a slave incubator for a witch go apeshit on me for rescuing her, and loads more. It's absolutely super dark.
