Any roguelike or indie game with a lot of classes to play as ?
Frogcomposband has a huge amount of races and classes to play as. 80 various races and monsters by my count. And many classes for the more normal races that I couldn't be bothered to count. Some 51 classes, unless special races also have special classes. Sometimes with extras like picking a certain god, spell school or bias towards good/evil etc. Anything normal you might want such as a human fighter, elf mage, hobbit rogue. To pure monsters or animals of various flavours. Hydras, spiders, dragons, jellies. To very weird ones. Such as a magical ring, possessing others who find it. But can't do much more than cast spells on its own.
- Roguelikes with roleplaying components?

Angband variant recs?
There aren't a lot of recent variants. FrogComposband is one of the newest ones and it's reasonably popular. It pretty much just throws loads and loads of extra stuff in. It's a lot.

Play as a weapon?
Relatedly, PosCheng's spiritual successor FrogComposband (you'll need to select the Monster -> Mimic race options).

Frogcomposband, poschengband, any strong preferences for anyone?
And Frogcomposband is still very much being maintained. It's just that there's one guy working on it, and so things take time. If you look at github: https://github.com/sulkasormi/frogcomposband/tree/46db75f898189beeb49d64d735cc3a39e9a843e8 then you can see that commits were last pushed about 4 months ago, which really isn't a long time when it's a lone developer.

Best looooooong run roguelikes
I'm actually a fan of Tome2, in particular this version that removes a lot of what I call "old roguelike bullshit features", such as item identification and traps. Don't get me wrong, it's still long and perhaps grind-y, as is common for the bands, but not having to constantly trot back to town to buy more scrolls of ID because that junkart you just picked up *might cause instant death when evoked is a nice feature that lets you get to the interesting part of the (30+ hour) run more quickly.

Which RL has the most content?
ToME2 has a lot of character options, and although it's another Angband variant it's also quite distinct.

What would an OSR video game be like?
TOME was originally called Troubles on Middle Earth, then renamed to Tales of Middle Earth (ToME2), which is the most awesome fork of Angband. The developer started working on ToME3, then abandoned the project afraid the Tolkien estates will bully a free roguelike for legal reasons, so he made Tales of Maj'Eyal instead, which is a very popular modern roguelike.
