Thats high praise. What are some of the things you like the most about it?

Everything is really good. Only bad thing I can say is that the scale of the combat and it's verticality can be a bit overwhelming.

 

I haven't played much, didn't need to, it's pretty obvious this is the culmination of all things that makes a great CRPG crammed into one epic high budget game. It's phenomenal. It kinda reminds me of Neverwinter Nights 2 except, much, much better. 

 

Mechanically it's much closer to Divinity Original Sin 2, which is a good thing but also pays respect to D&D rulesets. 

 

It's got everything going for it. Bioware and Obsidian are getting played out, Larian Studio is the new hot RPG dev in town.

Yep. It's turn based with movement/positioning.
