They opened up a genre of gaming to people that would have never even considered it.

Can confirm, that was my case. Before this game the closest thing to a turn-based CRPG I had played was KOTOR, now I've already purchased DOS:2 and I'm looking forward to Larian's next title.

Divinity was absolutely baller and I much much prefer its combat system to d&d's.

I like how they revised their action point system in D:OS2, and I like getting attribute points every level up, but 20 hours in, I think I prefer everything else from D&D so far. Still, the D:OS system isn't bad.
