RPG Recommendations?

I've got a few days off following the completion of my exams and fancy filling my time with some gaming. However, I've exhausted my library and have no idea what to play. Can anyone recommend an atmospheric rpg with a well written story, deep and meaningful characters and preferably decent graphics?

I've already played all of the Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Witcher, Deus Ex and Dragon Age games, together with Kingdom Come Deliverance, Vampire Redemption and Vampyr. I'm sure there's something else out there worth playing though. Recommendations greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Thanks for the recommendations. I don't mind top-down games. The only thing I'm not keen on is turn based / tactical combat. In fact, it was the combat system that put me off the Divinity series. I should have added; I've played all the AC and Dark Souls games as well.

I've just bought the GOG version of Pillars of Eternity 2

I watched a few recap videos on youtube first, having not played the original. Looks good.

Divinity Original Sin 2 is way way better than Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 which are both bogged down by stats and lacklustre combat.

I'm tempted by Divinity, but how's the combat? I'm not a great fan of turn based, however if the story is great then it might compensate.
