I'm interested in the game, I guess mostly because of the hype. I enjoyed Skyrim and Diablo 1/2/4, and I suppose they're somewhat similar to Baldurs Gate. Given that basic knowledge, is there a good change I'd like Baldurs Gate 3? Also, could I just jump into it without playing the first two?

This game is extremely similar to Dragon Age Origins. The first one. I haven't played any of the other ones in the series but I have played a lot of D&D 5e.

I agree, Dragon Age Origins was a masterpiece. Like BG3 it lets you pick an "origin" character and that would determine how NPCs in the game treated you. And they had choice and that effected how the game played out.
