my favorite classic roguelike is tales of maj’eyal with a(n ancient) dual classing mod installed. my favorite final fantasy is XII the zodiac age. my favorite borderlands is wonderlands (still kinda mid though). i loved baldur’s gate 3 and the owlcat pathfinder games. my peak arpg is path of exile with titan quest 2 earning an honorable mention.
what are your favorite rpgs and rpg adjacent games that include in depth, flexible class systems?
Nope, but like I said, other folks are better traveled than I am. Still, I have sampled lots of RPG systems, and 5e’s is the best I’ve come across. I’ve played the Pathfinder 1 system via Kingmaker, and I’ve played both Pillars of Eternity games, which share a lot of the same DNA, and I’d for sure take 5e’s multiclassing over what those offer. Yes, BG3 is 5e. Yes, it changes some things, but so, so much of it is intact, including multiclassing. It’s one of the things I miss most as I’m playing through the first Solasta.
I may or may not end up playing Pathfinder 2e until a video game comes out with it; I know there’s one on the horizon, but I don’t know if it’ll be any good. Fabula Ultima is even less likely, if I’m being honest, because this is the first time I’ve heard of it, and I’ve only got so much time in my life for TTRPGs.

Respectfully I will disagree about bg3 keeping much intact. It is very different than the tabletop game.
Respectfully disagreeing as well, but I play the tabletop game, too.
I do too if that wasn’t clear from my comments.
You should try out the other games I mentioned. Fabula in particular if you like JRPGs
