Well I checked what Terry Pratchet wrote, but I classify him as short parody writer or if not parody then SCIFI writer.
Baldurs Gate 3 is medieval fantasy and not SCIFI.
I think it is a shame that Dungeons Dragons writing has gone down...
Yes there are some writers like R.A Salvatore used to be a fan of his older books and then lost interest in his work at least a bit. Yes there are other good Dungeons Dragons books but few can match the original Drow story of Drizzt Do Urden the first 3 book and the 3 books after that Icewind Dale...
I enjoyed the 9 first books with Drizzt Do Urden but in time it gets boring he is invincible and never dies.
Cleric quintlet 5 books is also good story with a Cleric Cadderly as main character.
There exists separately a series of Harper books with many different authors they are separate stories each book and I have read all of them 16 books.

I really also tried the 90 ies released The Daughter of The Drow and found first book to very interesting, but already on second book in that triology have hard time to finish that book.
Terry Pratchett is not what I would call a Sci Fi author although he sometimes employs elements of Sci Fi. What he wrote is probably best described as Satirical Fantasy. Quite frankly its almost insulting to these authors to compare their writing to the writing in the forgotten realms however, since these people, unlike Greenwood etc, can actually write good books.
Here we go with your subjective taste and you have not named a single fantasy medieval book of your author.
Ed Greenwood bad author? I am pretty sure you have not read his best books.
https://www.amazon.com/Stormlight-Forgotten-Realms-Ed-Greenwood/dp/0786905204That one of my favorite Harper books. You dont have a clue what the danger is it is mystery book. Have some horror feeling also when you do not know who or what kills?
You dont trust me?
Here is a link of best Dungeons Dragons books:
https://yourmoneygeek.com/dnd-books/Among them is also mentioned the Harper books.
Your author is not mentioned among them. I do not care about your satiric comedy. I generally in movies and Tv series like Action and Horror maybe a bit Drama. Fine slitghtly comedy a few moments is ok fun, but I have never cared about satirical comedy movies unless some rare satiric Horror movie then maybe lol.
What about Harry Potter then? Well I think it is more for the children never read those books though I liked the first Harry Potter movie very much when it was a new fresh idea. Ok sometimes a bit less serious and for children fantasy is fine. Harry Potter is also those light fantasy movies a parent can watch with their children.
That said I am not looking for Harry Potter feel to Baldurs Gate 3, but if it has some fun moments then fine.
I like Action (fight), Horror (Horror monsters and scary monsters or classic horror monsters, big Trolls, Vampires, Werewolves, Undead, Demons and Dragons), Drama (Drama story not everyone always survive 100%) and if among them is few fun moments then fine, but generally I do not like comedy or satirical comedy. A horror mystery is also very interesting. Romance and specially full nudity is also fine with me.
Oh and though I mentioned Action a good main story is nice to have.
