Like, I think if he didn't have to worry about his devil's bargain, he'd be chaotic good most likely.

Regarding Solasta's story, I'm not sure that its linearity is a fair metric to judge it on. It was never trying to be anything other than linear, and branching paths aren't automatically better than a linear story. Which isn't to say that Solasta's story was great. I found it satisfying enough, but in the end it's pretty clear that the story is there to give you a reason to go adventuring, not to be a selling point of the game. Though I actually find the setting to be quite interesting and would genuinely enjoy seeing it explored more with a better-told story.

Thank you for this comment. I was just typeing out mine, but yeah The Good Guys are coming. Larian just wanted to test out their evil and neutral heroes first.
From this current set of characters, I would say Astarion is Chaotic Evil, Laezel is Lawful Evil, Shadowheart is Neutral Evil (maybe True Neutral), and Gale is True Neutral (almost Neutral Good, I reckon he is the only one with a level of basic human decency that the others lack, though he is def power hungry).

Wyll is funny alignment-wise. He is pretending to be Chaotic Good, but I would rather call him Chaotic Neutral. He is not a particularly bad person (like Astarion for example) but there is a fundamental falsehood about his personality.

I agree with you on the Solasta setting. I do enjoyed it and would definitely play in a Tabletop campaign placed there.
