So what is the current consensus on the game? Living up to the hype? Have all the BG1/BG2 D^D fans left for Solasta? My feelings are that the VERY cinematic nature of BG3 is hurting/slowing its development (clumsy/cringy dialogues, tons of dialogue graphic bugs,lacking atmosphere...) while Solasta is powering on update after update fleshing out the world and its system in a very convincing manner. Yea the dialogues aren't amazing <AAA> stuff, but the game inst completely relying on them like in BG3. The game-play is already super solid. Can the same be said for BG3?
Each has its merits. I will say, I've put in almost 400 hours into BG3. Only 35 into Solasta. To me, BG3 has a lot of replayability. There are a lot of ways to progress through the game and lots of side things to explore. Solasta not so much. Likely I'll play Solasta through once and be done. BG3 I can see running through several times as playing with different companions and taking the different routes through the game makes it fun.
