I'm not at all a fan of Soulslikes, and I'm really enjoying this one. It's not punishing or unfair in the way Souls games are. It's also very much not like BG3, though. You're right that it's action first. Closest I've played is maybe Greedfall, but it's really it's own thing. Fun though.

Fully agree with you that the game is its own thing. The closest thing to Dragon's Dogma 2 is just Dragon's Dogma 1 haha.

Can you believe that when the first game came out, people compared it not only to Dark Souls, but Skyrim?

I can sort of see the Skyrim angle, but only in the sense that the game really incentivizes just picking a direction and heading out exploring. Skyrim was the first game a lot of people played in which it was just as much fun to wander off as it was to do what the game was telling you to do. DD 2 does that better than Skyrim, in my opinion.
