Not sure, the only game I played before BG3 was Dark Alliance 2 on PS2 around 20 years ago. Well that and homebrew 3.5e/5e tabletop, but that obviously was unrelated story-wise.

Far Cry 2 is the best in the series, with 3 being a close second, that said, IMO, this one is at least tied for second. Easily one of my favorites.
