Pretty fantastic port, with lots of Quality of Life improvements to make the game more playable than it's ever been. This system is so much better for this type of RPG than the heavily 3.5ish systems like Pillars of Eternity and Pathfinder where there's just too much going on at level one. Controlling a party of six is completely unreasonable. In BG:EE however, mostly you can just attack in combat, and as you level you get more abilities, easing you into the combat system in a perfect way.

There's so much content in here, and it's a huge project to try to do everything. Instead, I recommend you just play and enjoy. There's no "wrong" approach to the game unless you are playing solo on Insane difficulty.
