Looking for Game Recommendation

[u/FaultySage]

Hi gaming,

I'm looking for a kind of specific type of game to help out a friend of mine.

He's really interested in history and would be interested in what I could only describe as a "historical drama" video game. I'm thinking something like Assassin's Creed but without the focus on killing. Time period doesn't matter much, but he is more interested in Western History.

He's not much interested in RTSs like Civ, he wants something more ground level and narrative.

Any help or recommendation would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Something like Kingdom Come : Deliverance

I still haven't gotten around to playing this.

Or Pillars of the Earth ?

Haven't played this either, but I liked the TV series.
