How much do you know about DnD? You’re going to want to familiarize yourself with the DnD rules if you don’t know them. As for resources on the game you should start at bg3.wiki it has everything about the game in a good format. Also ask specific questions here if you get stuck. There is just so much to the game that you’re better off just jumping in and saving often (you’re gonna die a lot in the beginning).
I would try a ranger (gloomstalker) or fighter (arcane archer) or bard (swords) for bow and arrow guys. For magic i would go with warlock (any subclass) as it’s the easiest mechanically of the magic users.
The game is not really very much like dnd, the ttrpg, at all. I would not concern yourself with knowing anything about it if you don't already.
It's based on dnd 5e so if you're familiar with that ruleset you'll be better off.
It's as much dnd 5e as it is Monopoly.
