Yes, with BG it is totally non-linear and all open for exploration.
You will not really find out what the main plot is until near the end of the game.
To learn more about the BG world, just like the Divinity world, you need to read the books that you will find here and there and everywhere.
Six or seven of those books will have a nice surprise in them if you read them.
You should always pay for the most expensive rooms when your hurt.
You will get more HP back than you would with a cheaper room.
Later On
