I get dragon age vibes from one of the trailers

[Horror Pigeon]

Recently I bought inzoi and it was a HUGE BORING mistake. It has zero drama. Then I decided to view something actually spicy. Of course I know certain groups hate baldur's gate 3. But the trailer feels like dragon age because of good music with medieval fantasy. Is it much like the first dragon age? I've only played 1 & 2. This would probably be my first larian game.

Dragon age was inspired by Baldur’s Gate 2 so this is exactly what you want

In a way, yeah, it scratches a similar itch for me. If you like Dragon Age, you'll probably like this too.
The combat in BG3 is turn-based though, based on D&D 5e rules, just FYI

As a person who has now played both, DAO and BG3 have a similar approach. Both a cinematic CRPGs based in a fantasy world. I would say DAO is more dark fantasy (so think Berserk) whereas BG3 is more a low fantasy with Lovecraftian elements.

It's much better than any of the Dragon Age games according to all objective metrics, so dive in !

It depends on what you liked about DA:O. In terms of gameplay, BG3 is far superior. In terms of story, DA:O wins by a lot.

They play very differently, be aware.

Of course. There are people who hate literally anything.

I had hoped that this game would play more like DA:Inquisition

More than you think, i personally know at least 5 in real life that hate it.

There are a few big differences. Whether they matter to you is something you'll have to decide.

As mentioned, the turn-based combat is very different,. The spaces you fight in are also very different, since they're often very vertical, so there's going to be a lot of climbing, jumping, and so forth. (You couldn't jump at all in DA:O and DA2, right?) Positioning is going to matter a lot more, particularly since there aren't any aggro management tools.

Second, the FR setting is a lot more high-magic than Thedas. There are more creatures, more wacky magic effects, more stuff in general.

Third, the dialogue style is much more, well, modern, than the way people talk in DA games . (Veilguard excepted.) Sort of like Vox Machina. I remember this bothering people in EA, but they all either got used to it or just left.

Mostly antiwoke crusaders, grumpy grognards and creepy edgelords who hates everything popular, all for quite subjective and flawed reasons...

The other 96% of the population gave it a positive review and many consider it a Masterpiece, enough said !
