The game follows DnD 5E pretty closely, but adapted into a video game so there are some changes or differences. Early on in early access people were complaining the game was too much like DOS2 with the focus on surfaces, which aren't really a DnD mechanic, and have since been toned down significantly (but not removed). The scale of the characters and traversing the maps is much more similar to DOS2 than it is to BG1 or 2.
As somebody who enjoyed both BG and DOS, but hates DnD 5E, I did actually enjoy my time playing in early access. Expect it to play much more like if DOS2 was turned into a DnD 5E game than if BG1/2 were updated to 5E standards.

Thanks, sounds like I might get it at some point.
