A chance to post that meme I made!
Let me put it to you this way, Tav. You can buy better games than Solasta, but I like Solasta. Yes, it has a linear story, and the voice acting is rather stiff, and you can’t multiclass, but–it’s brilliant!
I don’t actually know that I would say BG3’s story is undeniably better. It’s more polished, sure, and it’s more open-ended, but that doesn’t necessarily make it better. Granted I’m not done with it yet so I can’t say for sure, but I really like Solasta’s story, especially the second campaign.
I think there’s also something to be said about having four fully voiced player-made protagonists instead of one silent protagonist and a ton of companions. There are scenes made up entirely of your party talking to each other. The writing isn’t as tight, the voice acting is relatively amateurish, but I like it.

Solasta (especially modded) is a much more pure 5e as video game experience.
BG3 is a much better game overall.
