I completed Solasta once - and have about 98 hours played having started a second playthrough.

I have completed BG3 more times than I can remember and have about 800 hours played - mostly on multiplayer.

I never understood the comparisons between these two games and am still at a loss for why they keep happening. How do you compare a team of 20 with a 250k budget with a team of 300 with a 200+ Million dollar budget?

Its my hope that Solasta did well enough that they can do more ambitious projects in the years to come. I think they have a lot to add to the genre and they certainly showed they have some solid gaming chops in the work they have done so far.

But BG3 is the culmination of almost 20 years of work by Larian studios. They earned the right to the license and the resources to publish a triple A game. Bg3 is incredibly ambitious and is designed to appeal to a much broader audience. If they get this right they are looking at Game of the Decade - especially with the multiplayer aspect of it.

Interestingly both studios have patches this week. Solasta is adding Sorcerer and of course we all eagerly await Patch 5 for BG3.

It was honestly my hope that with the course correction by Larian and the news that they were working heavily on the reactions system that we would stop getting these comparisons, but alas.
