Cataclysm DDA is probably my favourite, but I don't like playing more than a single character at a time, and when I get too far into the endgame, I get bored with it, I usually just kill my character in some ludicrous/stupid way.

That's usually when I play Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. I think the recent versions are all garbage (I guess there's some pitfalls to democratized game-development), I play strictly version 23.0.

Between these two games, all my of roguelike itches are scratched. I'd say CDDA is sort of like single-player only Dwarf Fortress, and DCSS is Rogue/Angband distilled.

FTL is an INCREDIBLE game, but I've given it up cause it's proprietary software.

I also played some Tales of Maj'Eyal, but imo it's too combat focused for what RP elements are in it.

I've beaten all of these games, and DCSS around 20 times.

I recommend them all thoroughly.

Honorable Mentions: 1) Shattered PD for mobile 2) Slay the Spire

The climb to mid game is definitely the part of the game that works the best, I have some plans for a more extensive endgame, but it's going to be a while.
