I dunno. Pillars of eternity and tyranny have some pretty interesting stuff in them. They're modern right?

Tyranny was particularly amazing, there are a lot of very mixed choices to make and you can legalese your way out of a shitload of accountability. In fact

gameplay pathYou can legalese so fucking hard the literal avatar of justice/law turns on the evil empire and sides with you
.

I think it manages to make playing someone stuck in the military bureaucracy of an evil empire trying to stay alive and torn between loyalties pretty interesting.
