What BG3? As far as I'm aware, it's a trilogy, but the third game has always been the ToB addon. Some would even tell you that the second game doesn't exist and only the first one is legit, and I concur. I played the original BG on its original engine without BG2's additions tacked on, and man, you wouldn't believe it, it's like a completely different game. No limit for summons, Charm is crazy overpowered, no intrusive banter, Dimension Door works, each encounter is meaningful and challenging, sounds are better, Dual-classing Specialists, Unnerfed Grandmastery, and so on and so forth. You do miss out on Barbs and Monks though, but oh well.
