I don't know anything about this game or it's predecessors. Is it just a fantasy RPG or what's the hype all about? How is it different from other fantasy RPGs?

I wouldn't even compare it to Diablo.

Diablo is like a fun action packed shooter. Like watching John Wick. You're there for the adrenaline.

BG3 is a deep story game with a LOT of choices, a lot of them can go into weird directions. Like watching Lord of the Rings. You're there to seethe a Elf throws the Dwarf.

Seethe a elf throws the dwarf? Typo, or some kind of reference?

You should probably watch the Lord of the Rings movies. They're really good.
