The story in bg3 better, as it's closer to tabletop experience. Ofc no video game ever will be as open to player's choices as an actual living DM, but bg3 here is way better in that regard than solasta. Solving an encounter by convincing multiple people to kill eachother is amazing

I still like solasta more, as there's just so many things in bg3 that infuriate me, like individual exp instead of party exp, and personal exp rewards for "background related" stuff, allowing for someone get ahead or behind the rest of the party on level ups. I was playing with my gf and let her be the party face, which made me about a quarter of a level behind by act 3. Or flight being a glorified dash.

I know it's wrong, but I can't help but be upset by the individual xp. Either I get jealous when my friends level up three hours before I do, or I feel guilty having a level on them for three hours. That shit does not fly at most tables, why would they think to include it in this game? Why isn't there an option to share xp???
