it uses the same game engine but the combat is a lot less about resource management and more about character builds, the story is good but nowhere near as spectacular as BG3.
It's still one of my favorite games, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. Just don't expect it to be BG2.5, it's a different game
The action system in D2 is soooo good though. Like if I don't spend every action in bg3 I feel like I wasted a turn. D2 lets you bank a few AP if you aren't able to be effective that turn, or just position and save up for a wombo combo next turn. The pyramids let your party split up to explore too which is great.
Oh, absolutely. It's also closer to the PF2e system of handling actions, and since I personally prefer PF2e over DnD5e, it is, if anything, a plus for me
