The BG vs Solasta 'debate' has been rehashed many times on these forums - why start yet another thread? The design decisions Larian have made are locked in now - with no way to opt out of the changes - and those who wanted a more authentic 5e experience have been sidelined. That's certainly what it feels like to me. Larian *could* have provided for both 'camps' by simply following older BG titles and having a 'core rules' option - that was requested many times. And no, I don't see mods as a satisfactory alternative (1) they are not part of the game I paid for and mist be made by third parties (and they can break with every patch/update ) and (2) they can't fix everything. That said, I will likely end up trying them to see what they can fix.
Another note for the Solasta critics - you could turn off several features of 5e rules if you didn't like them. PF: WotR did the same - plenty of options to configure the game rules as you liked. At least in EA, Larian has not provided anything like that, so I doubt it's in the final game (sure that would have been mentioned).
