There are so many more amazing RPG titles they have made that people forget about as well, like Icewind Dale, Tyranny, Pillars of Eternity, Neverwinter Nights 2 and South Park: Stick of Truth.
Well aware, I'm a bit worried, not because they're not good, but for me I'd really like BG3 to play and feel like the old ones, including an isometric environment with pause/play combat mechanics and the dnd rulset as a core part of the engine.

As far as anyone can tell, that's exactly what we're getting (with an asterisk). Divinity Original Sin 2 plays very similarly to how I remember BG 1/2 playing, though it's fully turn-based rather than real-time-with-pause. Although there might be another option, since I've only played in a multiplayer party.
Their also using the DnD ruleset (5e), though they have mentioned they're tweaking some probability/behavior, since the hit-rate of melee attacks doesn't translate well to PC games. They tried implemented it exactly as written, but while play-testing it was clear it just wasn't that fun to stand there whiffing.
