I think most people who are drawn to BG3 will have likely enough experience with rpgs to figure out how the systems & mechanics work
Neither of us has data on it so it's will be a bit of an empty argument. I disagree, obviously. I don't think that cRPG lovers are Larian's core audience, not with the amount of players they had attracted. PoE and Pathfinder appealed to people familiar with cRPGs. I think that D:OS2 success is far bigger because it appealed to people who wouldn't normally play an RPG, just like Dragon Age did.
