Title.

This game is not what I would consider being like BG3; it does however have rpg / party elements involved in gameplay. Wartales is typically compared more to Battle Brothers by the community.

Nowhere near.

You could watch some of the game play videos to see if this game appeals to you.

This game is more comparable to the Jagged Alliance series, Mordheim or maybe even by a far stretch as medieval UFO/XCOM. Def. not like BG3.

BG3 is a story driven fullfledged RPG, while Wartales is an open world warband management strategy game. Only thing they have in common is that they both feature turn-based combat. And the combat in Wartales is much more unforgiving than in Baldur's Gate 3. Especially if you play Iron Man. You really need to think twice about entering a combat and/or people will die, permanently. You are in charge of a band of mercenaries and people succumbing to wounds, diseases and whatnot is part of everyday life. On the bright side: The game allows you to bury fallen comrades and beasts, so you can in essence build your own graveyard somewhere.

In Wartales you need to pay and feed your mercenaries, build your camp and manage camp life (who will cook, who will stand watch, who brightens the mood with a tune around the campfire), etc., which means you will always be looking for some well-paid knifework, food, resources and maybe fulfill some minor quests for some peasant or Lord along the way. Or become a band of highwaymen and rob merchants. Up to you.
But every day your people and horses want to be fed, and every couple of days they all expect cold, hard cash (not the horses, ofc). They are, at least in the beginning (or the better part of the game, for that matter), not in it for the fun, glory and friends they make along the way.

The basics are the same (turn based combat while you explore the world) but BG3 is pure garbaje, as simple as that. The comparissons stop there... lol.

BG3 are not open world game, Wartales is.
