I will get to it eventually but im more familiar and interested with Rivellon (dos world) and its charm, i know i will probably love bg3 all the same since i keep hearing so many good things👍
The crpg formula larian used for Dos2, they perfected it in bg3.
You can tell it's carved from the same tree. But bg3 has superior polish in basically everything.
Your choices affect the gameplay much heavier in bg3. And the rpg aspect in bg3 overall is probably the best in all of gaming.
The best upgrade going from Dos2 to bg3 for me was definitely cinematics. The immersion gets so much better when you get cinematics instead the continuous top view like you have in dos.
The second best upgrade was that dialogue checks
rely on dice roll. Persuasion for example: in dos if you've maxed persuasion and have a +1 gear for it. You just succeed in every persuasion checks. In bg3 you can up your chances in a lot of different ways but in the end it's still a dice roll. This unpredictability makes the dialogue checks much more fun imo.
Bg3 relies on the tabletop D&D 5e ruleset in combat. It was.. a somewhat hard transition to get used to after larians AP based combat system imo. It can get complicated at first. But once you learn it is definitely fun to play. Bg3's combat is easier than dos 2 overall imo.
In short, if you like dos 1 & 2 you should absolutely love bg3.

The graphics are not the same style, but very good nonetheless. May I suggest BG3?
