From Steam's self-published stats.

Baldur's Gate 3 could not be preloaded and weighed in at 125 gigabytes on disk, so when the game left Early Access at 11am US Eastern yesterday, Steam's bandwidth utilization shot up 8x over a span of 30 minutes. I know personally, I saw my download hit over 600 Mbps across a 1 Gbps fiber connection.

Kudos to the system engineers at Valve. It is mind-boggling that they have built infrastructure that robust.

I wouldn't say it's overhead. When you zoom a bit it's more like a third party view, except you can move the camera around.

Yeah looks similar to Divinity Original Sin 2. I installed a camera mod on that so I could get lower and closer, but that of course caused some weirdness in the skybox.
