Larian knows Baldur's Gate 3's D&D combat is super complicated: "We used to joke you basically need a tutorial for every class" (www.gamesradar.com)

"So then it's onboarding people, teaching them how to play D&D, which is really complex"

I played DnD a bit before, but it has been years. I remember the basic premise of stuff, but absolutely forgot all the little details of things. With that in mind, it really just feels like any other big RPG with classes and skill trees. It feels much less complicated than just about any primarily strategy game (especially things like 4x games), despite definitely fitting into the strategy category. It feels like every system that could be complex and daunting has enough information given and a very intuitive UI that makes it easy to navigate and figure things out on your own.
