Solasta manages to incorporate vertical battlefields in an impactful way WITHOUT giving advantage/disadvantage based on height. Basically, the high ground makes it harder for melee to reach the archers. This is aided by the fact that they do not have ridiculous jump physics in Solasta.
There are many non-encounter things that BG3 does better than Solasta, but when dice meet table Solasta is vastly superior. None of this extra crap is needed to make smooth and interesting battles.
Always with this crapy game 80 people are playing solasta right now. Always with this crapy game 80 people are playing solasta right now. 800 people are playing BG 1 20+ years old game.. And the massive difference in sales... Stop projecting your opinions of combat to everyone. If you like it that doesn't mean it's good.
Well, flip the script.
Give Solasta the massive budget. Give Solasta the push from official D&D channels on Social Media. Give Solasta the 'Baldur's Gate' name.
BG3 exists on name value alone. Its nothing special otherwise at this point, it cant even implement D&D properly.
