I know it's got a lot of hype at the moment, but Baldur's Gate 3 really is something special. I never played the first 2 games, but I have played D&D regularly for some 16 years now and it's one of the best narrative adventures I've ever had.
I'm planning on going back and playing the Divinity: Original Sin games that Larian made before it. I hear they're fantastic as well.
