In BG3, all classes are capable of handling both weapons and spells, so you can confidently choose the one that appeals to you esthetically, especially if you're not playing at a high difficulty level. Some classes have unique abilities. For example, a Druid can shape-shift into various animals and participate in combat in that form.
Each class has its own branches of development (subclasses) - from three or more. For some classes, you need to choose one of them immediately at the first level, while for others, it's at the third level. Some classes synergize better with certain races than others, but don't think that any race is completely unsuitable for a particular class. There will be differences, but not significant ones.
