The rules are D&D but keeping in mind that this is just a setting, here is a list of what taste BG1/2 in BG3 :
- the worldmap
- (maybe) the story
- 1 origin companion (not in the game at the moment)
I don't really understand how anyone who played the old BG games can say that BG3 is closer than BG1/2 than DoS... Whatever we're talking about gameplay mechanics and game design.
And either way, it's still infinitely better and less immersion breaking than being ambushed by a trash mob moving between two maps that are supposedly right next to each other (happened too many times to count)
Maps aren't supposed to be right next to each other whatever we're talking about BG1 or BG2.
There are always a few hours when you travel between maps.
