BG1 is great but I doubt you can get in to it without nostalgia. The story is good and the combat is fine but I would suggest skipping it and play BG2 otherwise you may get burned out and not try one of the best games ever made.

BG2, is great, find some graphic mods to improve resolution and just play it. Not going to spoil it, the story is great and the world building is nice and it is filled with secrets just waiting to be discovered. It has romance options but just with 3 elves, if you don't get the EE version that is, I understand that they add some trans characters and some gay guy but honestly BG2 companions are not like BG3, you can easily avoid them.

BG3, I hate it, if it was a stand alone game or DOS3 rather then BG3 I would give it a pass.

DnD used to have a concept of morality that was inspired by Christianity, hence why DnD 5'th edition no longer has that. This is reflected in game as it has no real moral compass, everything is what ever with few exception. One of your companions has been kidnaping children for hundreds of years to feed to his master and his reaction is o well I did not feel anything, you are meant to sympathize with him.

This on top of everyone being gay for some reason and I can swear that every interaction in third act has a woman in charge and a male to shit on.

BG3 is one of the wokest games I've ever played but at the same time it is fun and I've played it, most of it, third act was way to dumb, I just uninstalled it at one point. I've been trying to understand what makes the game fun but I can't, story is bad, combat is repetitive, companions are hit or miss, the world makes no sense, feels like DnD themed park rather then a world and yet I was still playing it.

Edit: There is no requirement to play BG1 or BG2 in order to play BG3. The story connection can be summed up to "Member Jahiera? Member Minsc?" just nostalgia bait.
