I confess I haven't yet finished Solasta as about half way through the main campaign (I think) the FPS dropped to single figures. I later tracked the issue down to something that had absolutely nothing to do with the game and resolved it, but by then my momentum had been broken.
Before then, I did really enjoy the game, and was even impressed by how much my party came to life based on just a voiceset and some fairly simple personality traits. And I did enjoy most of the combat. Which I guess is just as well as the story seemed quite thin, though I certainly didn't find it as bad as some folk seem to. One of these days I will go back and finish it.
But for all I think it's a fun game and BG3 had things to learn from it, like reactions, it's not what I wanted BG3 to be. Whereas, for my tastes and preferences at least, Larian have nailed it, with far fewer caveats than I'd expect in a game of this size and complexity.
Fortunately there's room for both games, as well as many other takes on cRPGs, so we don't have to choose!
