There's a dozen other RPGs I could have used as well, but Pathfinder is the meme one.

    An annoying part about wanting to break away from D&D is that all the "experimental" games etc. Get away with having fewer rules. I want another system that can be as complex as D&D but with different focuses.

    Forged in the dark is a good example of something close to what I like. What it lacks in combat/interaction diversity it definitely makes up for with the gamified secret base you can customize and the various "down time" interactions you can have.

    See, you want Night Shift: Devil Division. It's based on the Draw Steel engine, so it's about as complex as D&D with great combat rules. But instead of medieval fantasy, it's 90s anime.

    Or possibly Eclipse Phase

    I'm currently on step 2, running Curse of the Crimson Throne. Not the official conversion though, because I bought the 3.5 version (it actually predates Pathfinder 1e) of that AP like 10 years ago. And converting to Savage Worlds is really easy anyway.

    Uh... I've never actually played a pathfinder campaign. Or D&D. I've mostly played World of Darkness, and a couple of oddball things. I've also sat in on some friends custom campaigns that were absolutely wild. I guess that's not normal, lol.
