Your first encounters pit you against a bunch of imps and mind flayer thralls, and even the final encounter of the tutorial area doesn't pit you against a mind flayer proper (as that one is busy fighting the cambion) and all you need to do is reach the control console as fast as possible, so it doesn't expect you to fight mind flayers and intellect devourers to the death. Of course, everyone's tastes are different, but having played Divinity: Original Sin 1, I'd say the game's engine has some clear differences that make it closer to the 5e experience. Granted, at the start of the EA the game was basically a reskinned DOS 2 with 5E rules, but that gradually changed over time and right now it doesn't play like that at all IMO.The original Baldur's Gates (which I'm currently playing actually, so I've got a pretty fresh memory of them) were a faithful recreation of the AD&D 2E experience at the table, set in the Forgotten Realms. BG3 is a faithful recreation of the 5E ruleset set in the Forgotten Realms (and the story is likely to be connected to the Bhaalspawn saga in some way, but haven't revealed how yet). In that regard, I think this game is as Baldur's Gate as Baldur's Gate games go.</blockquote>
