Parts of the opening area of BG3 look like they came straight from DOS2 and they're both built on the same engine, so the battle mechanics are very similar. There's no narrative link between the two games either, they're actually set in totally different worlds.

Is Baldur's Gate as hard as divinity?

DoS2 isn't harder than Baldur's Gate 3: its first act is just way less structured, and does a poorer job of easing you into the game. It's not bad, by any means—there's something to be said for the open, immersive-sim nature of Fort Joy. It's just far more aimless. The fascinating thing is: they're largely the same.
