Does defensive duelist work? (self.baldurs_gate_3)

On tabletop I play a Way of the Astral Self Monk with defensive duelist. I thought I'd try that in the game and switched Astarion to open hand Monk. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but it never seems to activate.

They are talking about BG3. There you cannot make a regular unarmed strike while holding a weapon.

There are many significant differences in the rules between BG3 and 5e.

I'm realizing this more as I play the game. Shield Master not allowing you to shove people prone is one that really annoyed me.
