For those who have played both the originals and the Early Access, how well does BG3 capture the feel? (feddit.nu)

I'm not particularly worried about whether BG3 will be good or not since D:OS 1&2 were both excellent, but I'm a little worried about it feeling like a Baldur's Gate game and not Divinity: Dungeons and Dragons.

How is the writing style and atmosphere? Does the story connect in any meaningful way? Are there any recurring major characters, hopefully even potential party members? In short, does it feel like a Baldur's Gate game?

It's the little things like that that sells the familiarity for old fans and signals that the devs really loved and cared about the original games. I'll see how I feel about the new Latin phrases but the original ones were so iconic that it feels like a missed opportunity as you say.
