No it is not the same at all. The main difference-- which irritates some people-- is that you basically play 1 character. You can hire someone to travel with you, but they will do their own thing most of the time, unless you specifically tell them what to do.
There seem to be some sub-quests, like BG, but not as manly (at least not up to the point I am at).
It is awesome, though. Get it.
