As a new player to both BG3 and D&D honestly I am having lots of fun. Each little area feels like a mini-campaign within a larger campaign. The only problem I have is the day and night cycle and the urgency of the tadpoles feels off.
Sure there are little kinks to work out but overall it feels good to me. Its dark but still fun, so all around 10/10 points for me.

I played DOS2 and I have like 50 hours in it. I have played BG3 for over a hundred hours now and the only thing that stops me is to not spoil the game further for myself until it fully releases.
Honestly this game does not at all feel like DOS3 to me.
The world of BG3 feels very DOS because it quite frankly is, static and inorganic. The combat and lore are very different becasue they D&D'd that bitch ergo good. The combat and spells etc. are D&D with certain caveats but a pretty accurate conversion if I am being honest.
The world is as much a part of the gameplay as the combat mechanics. They go together like crackers and cheese. DOS world with D&D combat is more like Whiskey and orange Juice, yeah it gets the job done and gives you a buzz but it tastes bloody awful.
