Planescape: Torment is the spiritual precursor to Disco Elysium and is very good. It has more combat than Disco Elysium, but most forced encounters can be avoided through dialogue. I highly recommend it - play with high Wisdom and talk to everything like it was Disco Elysium. You can drop the difficulty of the combat using a slider in the settings as well. It's a little more serious than Disco, but that's really to be expected, and there is a lot of good humor and heartbreak in it.
Offtopic but it always blows me away to hear
RETVRNgamer chuds carry on about modern games being too easy and having too much tutorialisimg, when their beloved late-90s PC games had tons of difficulty options--usually more than modern games--and very detailed tutorials.No, it's worse than that. Those old-school games came with cheat codes, and almost everyone beat their favorite old-school games with cheat codes. That or using Game Genie. A 6-year old is not going to beat Super Metroid or Doom by themselves. "Games were harder back then." Yeah, and you beat those games with enough cheat codes that a 6-year could beat them.
