What game do you recommend someone who likes the mechanics but not the setting of Baldur's Gate 3?

I saw people going on about how great BG3 is on this site, so I thought I'd check out a let's play to see what all the fuss was about. I immediately fell in love with the graphics and the mechanics, such as the classes, races, spells, dice etc, but I disliked the emphasis on gore/horror in the game, and I know I wouldn't enjoy playing a game with that whole brain horror thing going on. Not to mention the price and storage requirements being excessive. (150GB!)

So, bearing in mind that, is there a game that would match my criteria, and if not, what do you think comes closest?

Dragon Age: Origins is pretty gory (for an RPG from that era.) Their whole marketing campaign was basically "look how bloody this game is—even our logo is made out of blood."

Edit: I would recommend Wildermyth as a whimsical, party-based RPG that doesn't include stuff like this.
