Not to drag the OT too much, but there's a lot to like in DOS 2.
Frankly at some point I considered it close to become one of my all time favorites... Until I started to realize that some of the aspects of it I didn't like it were... Well, things I REALLY didn't like.

- I was never particularly fond of its dumb armor system and it got only worse over time
- I found the skill/perk system too steep in its escalation with number bloat and very poorly balanced
- above anything else I absolutely LOATHED the "Diablo-like" randomized itemization. It's something I don't like in general (constantly scavenging for loot is not really my thing not even in Diablo) but that paired particularly terribly with a story-driven, party-based game with a finite number of encounters.
- Also, the game used the infamous Larian chain system as a control scheme, that won't EVER not count as a big negative, even if at the time my hate for it wasn't peaking yet.

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
