Or Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2, which are kinda sorta supposed to be spiritual successors to Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, and are pretty good
Or just play the originals. Great games (especially the second one) and they hold up pretty well with the enhanced editions that make them work properly on modern computers. Except they use the old 2nd edition ruleset which is full of weird confusing archaic rules (somebody once thought THAC0 was a good idea)
The originals are great. Loved that era of CRPGs. Although I enjoyed BG2's story, Icewind Dale I & II were my favorites because of the copious amounts of great combat and dungeon crawling. They weren't as deep or lore-heavy as the BG series, but they were sooo much fun.

For an even closer spiritual successor, to me at least, try Pathfinder: Kingmaker. I think it's the ruleset but it's the closest I got to that Baldur's Gate feel with the wave of new cRPGs. Second closest being Pillars of Eternity 2 (which is leagues better than the first one IMO).

YES! Icewind Dale I & II are my favorite games of all time. They just hit a sweet spot for me. Criminally underrated in my opinion.
