Just picked up DOS1 in the steam sale; just started playing only 4 hours into it. I started a tactician run, I've been party wiped about 8 times so far.

so far I enjoy it, great voice acting. Some of the UX improvements in BG3 would be welcome, but its not too bad.

It's neat because you see the arc of the Larian engine over time.

It's a cool game, took me a long time to get into the groove with it, and I have to say most of the time the humour really landed flat with me and broke the immersion and enjoyment of the game.

If you're finding yourself dying a lot, be aware that this game more than most has a very specific levelling path to follow.

By that I mean you will struggle to kill anything over 2 levels from you until you are in the later game, and I think it's impossible to over level.

If you find one fight too hard circle back and try another path, the combat may be more your level

Same for the second one, I actually ended up locking myself out of the last act by not leveling up enough, and just got stomped by the first set of enemies right off the bat.
