If you're thinking of the dark alliance games, BG3 isn't related to those at all. It's the spiritual successor to Baldurs Gate II: Shadows of Amn which was only ever released on PC. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldur%27s_Gate_II:_Shadows_of_Amn.

I’m not, I made that mistake already. I really liked the dark alliance games on console.

I have the first 2 baldurs gate games on console also, ps4 specifically, because I thought they were the dark alliance games :) I was disappointed. They don’t play well on console.

Huh, TIL something new. I had no idea those had made there way too console, and yeah, I imagine they'd play terribly on a console.

Yeah, I want to like them but I would hate Diablo 2 or StarCraft on console as point and clicks, too 😂

I’ll give them a go on pc tho, the story and gameplay seem great, just not for console :)

They're actually not that bad on console, beamdog did a really good job translating the controls over but you can only do so much before things get lost in translation for a game of that age.
