Ive always thought D&D was interesting and something I always wanted to get into but growing up no one really played it near me. Now that Im older I just dont have the time to go out and find a group that plays, get to learn everything and get involved in it.

So I am looking for the game that best delvs into D&D lore with gameplay that reflects it well and so on. Something to give me a good feeling of the whole D&D experince. I understand though that the games heart is in playing with others and crafting your own experince, that would be hard to do in a video game but Im hoping to find a good substitute.

I see so many games labeled as D&D but with so little personal experince with it I dont know what is truly one of the best games.

Planescape Torment is great for story, roleplay, and being a really well made game in the Planescape setting. Baldurs Gate 2 is the best for the Forgotten Realms setting and has better gameplay while still having a good story and characters. For a game that plays something like D&D I think Temple of Elemental Evil is the only one that is actually turn based and is based on a module for the game but I heard a lot of people weren't happy with it, including the developers who said they weren't able to do what they wanted with it.

You could always find an online game, and play Pathfinder instead

I'd say the First NeverWinter Nights(And maybe the second one as well if interested.).
