It uses DND 5e as the underlying rules set. I hate DND 5e. It's a garbage system full of old bad ideas, and it has such tremendous brand awareness it sucks all the air out of the hobby space.

Baldur's Gate 3 is still an extremely good game in spite of all that.

That sounds promising, because like you I really really really do not like the DnD system. But to hear that the game is decent in spite of that makes me curious about trying it soon, TYVM. :)

Controlling 4 digital 5e characters in rapid succession feels very different from controlling 1 character in a tabletop setting. Idk if it's better or worse this way, but (to me) they're pretty distinct experiences so it's worth at least trying
