Baldur's gate 3 obviously is nicer looking than Solasta, but the UI in Baldur's Gate 3 is horrific to actually use, the one in Solasta is very easy to use and a good deal more clear
And the combat is BETTER! In the first outpost mission we have 4 combats before a long rest, goblins don't need inflated hitpoints, they don't need to be given a 90% chance to hit our characters because of elevation - SOLASTA HAS COVER, THANK GOD - it copies the tabletop's cover system!
The fights feel a lot more weighty in Solasta than they do in BG3. The way they handle dice rolls popping over everyone's heads when they attack, and show us the dice and modifiers of the damage, before they merge together into a damage total - it's all wonderful
Graphically, the UI needs some redesign to match the setting, but functionally? It's much better
Let's look at casting a spell in the respective games: In BG3 I am going to need forty hotbars for a wizard by level 9, in Solasta, you click a spell, then click which level you want to cast it at. Skill check: In BG3 I pick a lock and get a bar? no dc? In Solasta a dice pops cleanly over the character's head and tells me what I rolled, what my mods are, and if I succeeded Advantage/Disadvantage? They copied the 5e rules, thank GOD! I have been tirelessly looking to see if I can modify BG3 to work this way, but have come up totally empty handed unfortunately.
It's not a "Better game", the story is not that great, the characters are... barely characters. It's more like Icewind Dale than Baldur's Gate, but BG3 has a LOT it could learn from it
