Witcher 3, in my opinion, is the best RPG ever made, try it and see if it clicks with you. I installed it just to test my new GPU and now I'm 90+ hours in.

Else, I would recommend Nier Automata, great from the start to the end and beyond.

Opus Magnum, you didn't mention puzzle games but why not since it's so damn good and addictive.

And in no particular order : Dark souls, Fallout 1 & 2 ( the only two Crpg I liked ), Valkyria Chronicles, Grimrock 1 & 2, and many more...

Finally Xenogears because I had to name it since it's the best Jrpg ever made on this planet ;)

Divinity Original Sin: Enhanced Edition is great fun, especially if you play it with a friend.

I would also recommend you Mount and Blade: Warband. It's and RPG with pretty skill based combat and lots of strategy elements. Actually saying that it is a strategy with 3-th person combat would be even more appropriate.

Had some fun with Greedfall
Based on your preference check out ATOM RPG and Underrail
Action game wise , try Brutal Legend for a bit of stupid over the top fun.
If youlike horror try Darkwood
Lastly , i have to plug in Enderal. It's afree "mod" for Skyirm , but it is a mod in the sense they build a whole game with the assets.(new continent , good story , good companions the works)

Yeah, Brütal Legend is really fun!

I've had mixed experiences with ATOM RPG, it may not be a game i would recommend for someone not very much into that genre. Even after the updates, it still feels half-finished and rushed, especially with the content from the "death tunnel" onwards. It has some good ideas, although that's mainly the dead city update stuff, with the exception of the one quest where you rescue Lenin. I also wasn't a big fan of how they handled the combat: you cannot really tell where cover begins and ends, which is kind of a major thing in a game where an enemy can take your character out with a lucky burst from an RPK.

I would try out most of the others too, especially the Witcher 3, since they had really good writing in the Witcher 2 as well imo, but i will probably look for something that doesn't need wine. It still doesn't run half of my library, and it is basically a pain to mod any bethesda game. Last time i tried (about 6 months ago), i wasted a good part of 2 weeks of modding FNV (and retrying it) with no avail, even as i went the extra mile and ran all the tools in a virtual machine. It's just too locked in to the windows world unfortunately.

Quoting: dvdI personally had a great time with CRPGs the last few years, playing Pillars I-II, Wasteland 2, Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Shadowrun returns. I also had a great time with XCOM: EU and XCOM2 (although i only have the base game).

you should look into Mutant year zero it's a windows game but it works out of the box with proton. It's not a superb game but it's quite ok and it's kinda similar some of those mentioned; cyberpunk, rpg (lite) with turn based combat. It really stands though for being quite original so it's quite refreshing to play.
And of course all the complete saga of ShadowRun is excellent, even though it usually can be found rather cheap, for me it's a top notch game because it has a lot of replaybility, cheap doesn't mean inferior quality sometimes with games.

OpenMW works well with mods . Not sure about how proton handles Skyriym or Oblivion or other Betheda games.
I recall Fallout New Vegas working fine with Wine a few years back.
There are some decent RPGs on Linux native like Pillars of Eternity , Tower of Time , Pathfinder , but they are not the action RPG style game.
Maybe Deus EX could scratch the itch (not sure if it was Human Revolution or Mankind Divided)

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a bit short but looks spectacular and runs out of the box with Proton.

Furi is also great fun and works flawlessly with Proton.

Natively I have been playing Iron Marines lately. Fun little RTS.
