Base building game with high NPC interaction?

Hello! I know similar questions have been asked here a bunch of times, but I'm still looking for something a tiny bit different. I'm looking for a game that has you building a camp/settlement, NPCs come and live there, you can recruit them for tasks/give professions etc. Now, a lot of games have that - my special requests is that I want to be able to have small conversations with the NPCs, play some cards in a tavern with them or something like that. I really crave that feeling of venturing out in a relatively dangerous world for supplies and returning back to camp and be met with a warm welcome. The only games that comes to mind are RDR2 and their camp interactions and in Kingdom Come Deliverance, when you arrive in certain cities, people are like "Heeey welcome back Henry" - And KCD also have the minigames at taverns.. I also really like the medieval setting.. No, I'm not gonna replay KCD.. Again..

Games that often gets mentioned:

  • Fallout 4 - Really close with the right mods, but NPC interaction is just too simple and I end up feeling lonely in my own settlement
  • Dragon Builders 2 - Seem like it could fit the bill, but I haven't tried it myself yet
  • Valheim - Nowhere near enough NPC interaction
  • State of Decay 2 - Too simple NPC interaction and too few things to with the NPCs. AI is also wonky
  • Necesse - Been looking at this a lot, but can't figure out if it fits the bill
  • Medieval Dynasty - Maybe? Played it long ago, but seems to little NPC interaction for me. lmk
  • Enshrouded - I don't know a lot about this tbh, comments seem to vary a lot
  • Rimworld - Looked a lot at this, but not sure if it fits the bill. Graphics/style might be too simple too
  • Bellwright - Don't know much, seems a lot like Medieval Dynasty? Let me know
  • Stonehearth/Colony Survival - Really not sure about these, but they keep coming up in my mind
  • Aska - Hard to figure out if this fits the bill
  • Minecraft Modded - I just can't make it work, maybe because I'm playing on pc from Xbox Gamepass?
