I've played dos and dos2 and I liked them(well I enjoyed dos's combat system more than dos2 but I loved playing them both in general), I've never played any DnD games, should I buy bg3?

Bg3 is pretty much DoS2 in a different skin. And a different story/universe.

If you've played DoS2 you'll find yourself sometimes conflating the two quest lines sometimes :).

I haven't played DOS (though now I might). My understanding is that BG3 is more story and character focused. And while they've done a surprisingly good job adapting D&D combat to video game format, it's definitely not perfect.

I definitely recommend it

Yes. It’s fundamentally the same game, just with combat rules that aren’t quite as good. It feels very much like DOS:3.

The plot is a bunch more engaging, to me at least. Divinity always felt you were playing everything for laughs.

D&D is a crap system though, which drags BG3 down (but hey, I've made my peace with D&D's vancian magic at this point in my life).
