I really appreciate the advice! C# is the language I'm currently learning, and Unity is a very good starter for me. Don't worry, My nonlinear rpg idea is a ways off, and it will require much more knowledge of game development than I currently possess lol. Regardless of what I choose, Articy is an excellent resource that I never would have thought/knew existed until you told me so I really appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me.
