WOTR
Pros
- Party of 6.
- 3.75 System More Verstility than 5E
- Good/Evil Choices In general feel more relivent to the game itself.
- Mounts
- RTwp Option for those that want it. (Don't care myself)
- Larger Equipment Options
- Random Encounters

Cons
- 3.75 System can be difficult on begginers / Lacks Balance of 5e.
- Mythic Levels and extra add-ons can feel make you feel like your getting over powered.
- Difficulty late game can feel very choice limiting at higher difficulty levels.

Solasta
Pros
- Character Creation Screen has far more initial options
- Sticks to all the 5e rules.
- Full party interaction.
- Stat rolling option.

Cons
- Limit of 7 classes from 5e.
- Party doesnt really give you the individual feel of each character mattering as much it feels less story driven with lack of companions.
- Not core with races.

BG3
Pros
- Higher system graphics makes the game look more asthetic.
- Combat does seem to be more fluid in current state.
- Immersive dialogue options.
- Target to Include all core options.
- Multi-Player Feature.

Cons
- Lack of ability to diversify the appearance of your character//Initial character design in general is super limiting.
- Choices feel non-Impactful
- A lot of homebrew rules.
- No Random Encounter Options.

Im sure there are more things could go on there but those are the more stand out things.

I would add to WOTR pros:

Lots of playable companions.
A night/day system + weather
Great UI
Super portraits
Part of 3.75 system but still: TONS of classes/kits options.

WOTR cons:
Not of fan of the color palette, better than Kingmaker but still a bit too cartoony.

add to BG3 Pros:
Really like the spell icons; This is probably the ONLY thing that reminds of BG2??

add to BG3 cons:
CRAP console like UI with stupid chain mechanic.
Cinematic dialogues for EVERYTHING slows the game to a crawl.
AGAIN, feels a bit too cartoony/vibrant! Whats with RPGs being like this these days?? Give me rated R dark and gritty!!!! Diablo 2 remake is finally a game thats getting there!? Maybe?!
