Dragon's Dogma 2 or Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon?

I just tried the DD2 character creator. I love recreating myself in video games and always been disappointed by most character creators since one of the first games I played was Dragon Age: Inquisition, where I really liked the cc and managed to recreate myself. I have played and replayed it for 400 hours, loving the story and gameplay but I mostly like seeing myself in cutscenes and imagining I'm in the fantasy world I always wanted to be in as a kid.

I really want to try Dragon's Dogma 2 after creating my character in the demo, but I've heard so many bad things about it. I might just be better off trying Tainted Grail. Skyrim has always been my fantasy escape, but all I'm doing in it now is just walking around since I've done everything. I feel more biased towards buying DD2 than Tainted Grail but everything on the internet is telling me I'll regret that decision based on reviews for each game.
