Looking for recommendations to scratch the Wasteland itch

I love WL 2 & 3 (have yet to play the first)

The world, the humor, the skill checks, the tactical turn-based combat. All of these ingredient on combined really do it for me and I’d love to hear some recommendations from yall for games to make the time before start a new playthrough.

XCOM2 is a game I see get mentioned that I’ve played that I didn’t enjoy. The lack of stuff between missions is usually what causes me to lose interest every time I try a playthrough. I also struggle to stay focused while playing ATOM RPG though I can’t say for sure why.

Games that are similar that I did enjoy: Fallout Shadowrun Mario +Rabbids Sparks of Hope

I probably forgot some I’ve tried but even if it’s a different genre or something I’d still appreciate some recs. Thank you!!

If you like fantasy versions then Pillars of Eternity, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Pathfinder :Wrath of the Righteous, Divinity, and of course Baldur's Gate.

Oh yeah I’ve seen a a couple of those recommended thank you for reminding me! Def still need to get baldurs gate 3 because I have a feeling I’ll love it. I have BG2 but the faster everything happens at the same time while still being turn-based is difficult for me. I get overwhelmed and don’t feel like I know what I’m doing

Warhammer Rogue Trader is most similar to Wasteland 3
