Old school RPG's

I enjoyed Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter Nights way back in the day. I've seen some modern reimaginings of this kind of genre, but I was wondering, what is the "best" game in this setting to sink my teeth into?

I have seen Divinity Original Sin 1&2 along with Pillars of Eternity 1&2, how do these compare with the classics?

Honestly? That doesn't help me choose which to purchase.
I'm tempted for DOS2 for the turn based, as I do quite like turn based...
I'm tempted for PoE2 for the closest to Baldurs Gate...

In regards to the Dragon Age Series, I've played the first and it was fantastic, however, the 2nd and subsequent 3rd games are nothing on Neverwinter Nights, more of an action RPG with story...

Just wondering, is there anything like PoE and D:OS but modern times? I.E, using guns, grenades etc? Quite fancy trying something like that also... NOT Xcom 2, but maybe similar?

Hmm Wasteland 2?

Jagged Alliance 2, this is quite an old game now with dated graphics but it's one of my favourite games. There's a community mod that fixes few things and let's you adjust some settings.

I played the latest Jagged Alliance a few years ago, was a great game! Thanks for reminding me of that!!

I've grabbed D:OS2 also and reinstalled Xcom2 to see if I can get into it this time...
