Yeah, Dos is an acquired taste, you better try Dos2 first or use the Epic encounters mod. =P
Dos may be an acuired taste, I personally think it is a pretty mediocre game* in single-player outside of the combat system and a few of the encounters (and even the encounters later on can get pretty repetitive). I would have enjoyed it probably more as a straight forward tactics game like Blackguards, with an added focus on unique encounters, as the "exploration" (or rather the Illusion thereof) really is part of a combat puzzle in itself (what area to go next at my level, and how to beat the enemies there). It's pretty blatant from everything shown so far that BG3 is going to be a very different and probably very exciting game though -- one that includes avoiding some combat altogether and map design which isn't that strictly level gated, apparently. E.g. not this:

* albeit an important one: demonstrating that turn-based combat can also still work, commercially
