Yep. Depends on the RPG and what you want to play to some extent - Baldurs Gate 3 shows just how good a well-written “traditional” branching narrative RPG can be for example.
When it comes to sandbox RPGs, I totally agree. Or at the very least keep the main story optional.
Have you played Kenshi? It does that really well I think.
My money is on Neverwinter 3
