The Age of Decadence

The Age of Decadence is an old school isometric 3D rpg that has been in development for a long time (since 2004 I think). They released a combat demo for the game in 2009 and the first proper demo in 2012. Recently an expanded version of the demo has been released, which includes two of the games three major cities and essentially 60% of the content of the game. This is the version that is now also available on Steam Early Access:

The title refers to the period of the decline of the Roman Empire, which is the setting for the game. Combat is turn based and quite similar to the original Fallout in that weapons can have fast/slow/aimed attacks and that all actions and movement cost AP. What's unique is the level of detail in the game and how the character you choose impacts how you play through the game - i.e. the game has combat and non-combat classes, and the non-combat classes will literally find other means to make it through the games quests and scenarios. It's a "scenario" and dialogue heavy game. Encounters in the game play out like this where the game cuts to a conversation screen and depending on your character and your stats you have various options to navigate your way through it:

I pre-orded it a long time ago after playing the free demo (which is also on Steam). So far I've played two hours of the Early Access version and I'm really enjoying it. I guess you know if you'll like this kind of thing. It's a very detailed rpg in the spirit of the isometric rpgs of the late 90s and early 00s.
