I've finally cleaned up enough space on my 250GB SSD to download BG3. I've tried Divinity 2 before, but bounced off it for some reason. Still, people are raving about this one and I think Illithids are cool, so I decided to give it a try.

Still there are so many options. Generally I like X-com, so which classes are interesting mechanically from the "tactical" perspective? Also there are backgrounds of some sort. Which of them make the game more fun and which are the opposite?

Honesty not sure how to approach this big-ass game...

I have played through the game exactly once and went Talos cleric. Having a big shield and still throwing lightning around was pretty enjoyable. I wouldn't say spellcasters are stronger, but having lots of options is fun.
In my experience the game isn't that difficult even on hard since they throw a ton of food at you and you can long rest whenever you like.
