Mother 3, PoE1 & 2, or FF6 probably fit your bill the best. 7 and 10 were anime feces. BG2 is a great game but doesn't really have a lot to say about the human condition and characters are very limited in their development. Earthbound doesn't really have character development or deep plot. NWN2 is a great game but doesn't have a deep plot even though your companions do develop a lot as personalities.

Mother 3 has character development for your companions but is also a profoundly sentimental exploration about what it means to grow up and encounter a weird world while trying to develop your sense of self, including your sexuality. The plot is fascinating in its sensitivity but also it involves intensely profound moments relevant to life and the human condition generally.

PoE 1 & 2 have well fleshed out companions who are reasonably interactive and their stories develop their outlook and inner conflicts well. The overall plots are great in structure and are about themes of what might be the purpose of religion for humanity. How is / should society be structured and guided? What are the consequences of minds being malleable or transferrable (definitely inviting transhumanist sci-fi explorations)? What does it mean to love someone when who they are can be altered by external things beyond your control?

FF6 is babby's first epic, with all the bells and whistles. The plot is not difficult to follow. It's about the confrontation between the negative nihilistic response and constructing meaning and purpose in life on the premise of choosing to love and be loved. The characters are clear and concise in terms of what they're about. They don't really interact much, but you see their stories play out and it's fairly satisfying. The main downside is that it's a Final Fantasy game, so it's extremely anime-styled. So it's suitable for children, especially those without healthy socialization.
