I guess it has barely any relation with it, but I always struggled to get through Baldur's Gate 2.

I've tried multiple times but the amount of resting I had to do to recover HP and MP, just to get out of the initial dungeon, felt wrong. Like I didn't understand any of the D&D mechanics.

3rd Edition onward streamlined and refined the ruleset as D&D started getting more and more mainstream play and attention and it's continued into the current 5E that BG3 is based on. You'd likely enjoy it a lot more.

I might have to give BG3 a try soon then :)
