@SKT that's awesome to hear, gonna be such a fun hobby for him as he gets older.
I prefer DMing to playing due to a horrific attention span (most probably undiagnosed ADD). I get self-conscious that my lack of focus ruins the flow of the game for my friends, but I get properly tuned in when I have to run the game, and am constantly stimulated mentally
As for BG3, I would consider allowing him to play with supervision. It has some adult themes, but the violence is typically from a distance, and a lot less graphic than the games I was playing as a kid.
The sex scenes should probably be avoided, but it's unlikely he'd select the dialogue options required to trigger then with his father in the room

@T4920 I get that about dm’ing. I think it helps him stay focused as well. And he gets to be a sort of leader of the club he started which has become a source of pride for him. I’m definitely going to play BG and then maybe let him start with me. I’ve heard such incredible things about that game

It'd give you an appreciation for D&D itself too, it's so impressively true to the fundamentals of the game. Although Baldur's Gate III has a level cap of 12 as opposed to D&D's 20, as higher level spells often involve altering the very fabric of reality and shifting to other planes... as good as current technology is, not even the highest spec gaming PC could handle such a load!
