Undertale is one of those RPGs where you can finish the game without killing anyone.

In Undertale, you take control of a regular human who have fallen underground into the monster world. You must find your way out! Otherwise you will stay trapped forever…

All in all, The Council is one of these dialogue focused RPG games you might like.

7. The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles

ace attorney rpg

Capcom‘s famous visual novel The Great Ace Attorney is lucky number 7 on this list. It is an anime, adventure, and mystery game where you find yourself in courtroom-battles. Something which I have never seen before in gaming.

The game is set in late 19th century Japan and England. You play as the rookie lawyer Ryunosuke. In each case, you will speak to witnesses, examine evidence, and attempt to deduce intent behind the crime. But the most fun will be in court. You will hear testimonies, cross examine witnesses, and present evidence to the judge.

8. Fallout: New Vegas

fallout new vegas dialogues

Best game in the Fallout franchise is without a doubt New Vegas. Simply because its amazing writing, story, and freedom of choice. Of course the later Fallout games have better graphics, but gaming and role-playing is much more than fancy visuals.

FPS RPG GAMES

Fallout: New Vegas is an open world game set in post apocalyptic universe. There are lots of quests, factions, options, and choices in it. Will you be a peace-maker, or a scum of the earth? That is for you to decide.

9. Dragon Age Origins

dao rpg

Dragon Age Origins was a revolutionary game for it’s age. It is probably the first dialogue heavy RPG I have ever played. Even though it is an old 2009 game, graphics, and gameplay is still good. Besides, if you like it, you can play the other three Dragon Age games released after Origins.

HUGE OPEN WORLD RPG GAMES

You can expect top tier writing, realistic quests, fantastic characters, and crazy good music from Dragon Age: Origins. Combat is a bit clunky though… Still worth it.

10. The Elder Scrolls Series

elder scrolls dialogues

Skyrim is my all time favorite RPG. It has many elements in it. However, dialogue aspect of the Skyrim is kind of weak. Thankfully we have mods to fix that.

I recommend you to use mods that are valuing dialogue aspect of Skyrim. Such as 3DNPC, relationship dialogue overhaul, the forgotten city, and the choice is yours. Of course don’t forget to grab a custom fully voiced follower to asist you though your journeys.

SKYRIM BEST CUSTOM VOICED FOLLOWER MODS

Also don’t forget the illusion skill tree on Skyrim. It has many spells that allows pacifying opponents. You can end the game with very few kills on your record.

11. Baldur’s Gate 3

bg3 dialogue

Let’s continue with a real deal Dungeons & Dragons game, the Baldur’s Gate 3. From the creators of award-winning Divinity 2, BG3 emerged at 2020. However, Baldur’s Gate 3 is still in the early access. Therefore you might want to wait for the full release.

BEST BALDUR’S GATE 3 MODS

Still, you have access to almost all features and can play the entire act 1 in early access. Besides, it has multiplayer co-op too!

12. Divinity Original Sin 2

Divinity Original Sin 2 is a RPG masterpiece. It has overwhelmingly positive comments on steam and have already won multiple awards from various gaming reviewers.

So, if you call yourself a RPG enthusiast, you should definitely play the DOS2.

14. Life is Strange

Wow, looks like this list is filled with award winning games… Life is strange is an episodic adventure game with time travel elements. Player can rewind time to affect the past, present and future. It doesn’t always work though. That is why choices matters a lot.

It is a beautifully written modern adventure game that must be played. Also Life is Strange has won many awards including the golden joystick. So, don’t miss it out!

15. Detroit: Become Human

Don’t skip this because you don’t have a PlayStation. Detroit: Become Human first released at 2018 for console. But in 2020, it is ported to PC and is available on steam. What’s more, it has overwhelmingly positive steam reviews. I wouldn’t miss it.

16. Oxenfree

Citizen Sleeper is another award winning RPG with overwhelmingly positive steam reviews. It is really a dialogue heavy game since it is mostly text-based.

Story is basically like this: You will live the life of an escaped worker, washed up on a lawless station at the edge of an interstellar society.

Role-play in the ruins of interplanetary capitalism. Explore, make friends, escape your past, and change your future.

19. The Age of Decadence

age of decadence

The Age of Decadence is a hard core RPG set in a magical post apocalyptic fantasy world.

The game features multiple skills, different ways to handle quests, choices & consequences, and branching dialogue trees.

Its role-playing and dialogue features are unmatched. However, graphics and combat mechanics are somewhat backwards. Therefore it is not everyone’s cup of tea. But if you don’t mind the downsides, Age of Decadence offers a great experience.

20. Mass Effect Series

mass effect rpg

We are ending this dialogue heavy RPGs list with probably the best Sci-Fi RPG franchise Mass Effect. It is especially great now, because BioWare released a remastered trilogy version in 2021. Mass Effect Legendary Edition contains first three games, completely remastered and optimized for 4k Ultra HD.
