Specifically if compared to previous Larian productions?
- The production value is obviously improved to a massive degree.
- D&D isn't a peerless gem of a ruleset, but it's still lightyears better than the malformed thing that was at the core of DOS 1 and 2. No armor system, in particular.
- I'm so damn glad that this one got unique and hand-placed itemization. rather than randomized loot. Randomized itemization is something that can single handedly turn me off from enjoying an entire game, especially when done as poorly as it was in DOS.
- Companions actually interact with each other in BG3 rather than act like only the protagonist exists.
