CRPG template
One encounter, two ways out, and the game has to accept both. Baldur's Gate 3 (Larian Studios, 2023) lets the second way be a spell, a lie, or a barrel. Divinity: Original Sin 2 (Larian Studios, 2017) is the same generosity. Pillars of Eternity (Obsidian Entertainment, 2015) will also accept a sentence in a book. If both ways are the same fight, delete one. The AI RPG maker and make an RPG with AI are the build. The second solution is the part you have to insist on.

What makes a CRPG
CRPG: deep, story-heavy role-playing with rules-based combat and many choices.
The games that set the standard are Baldur's Gate 3 (Larian Studios, 2023), Divinity: Original Sin 2 (Larian Studios, 2017) and Pillars of Eternity (Obsidian Entertainment, 2015).
What the template starts with
The CRPG template starts with one encounter with two ways to solve it. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: talk, choose, fight tactically, live with the result.
What to change first
Finish the encounter without attacking, and finish it by attacking. If the quiet way is a cutscene that plays only after the fight, you have one way.
2D or 3D
The CRPG template starts in 3D.
