I love love love DOSII and an old school cRPGer here and I kinda hate what I played of BG3. That said, Solasta is doing what BG3 is doing (lot's of dice rolls, generic high fantasy etc.) and I think it does it better and feels more D&D too me at least.

I've farted around with the pre-release stuff a bit and to be honest this feels way too much like a Baldur's Gate mod for D:OSII. I don't mind the change of pace but it has a lot of Larian jank to it and not in a good way. I don't know, I really wanted to love it but was pretty lukewarm overall, it just feels off. I will give the final game a chance when it's on sale.
And IMO, DOSII was quite the overrated game. You slog along with the unbalanced grind and crap RNG. I had to force my way to play it through because it wasn't very enjoyable.

Whatever dude, but in no way did this feel like a mod. not even close!
Exactly, as someone who modded D:OS 2 I wish we could have done even 5% of what BG3 is doing... and for a super alpha version of BG3 what they have in EA is flat out mind blowing. If we would get something akin to the NWN editor then BG3 would also literally NEVER die since we could implement all the hundreds of modules.....
I played BG3 EA once to completion (including seeing the ending video) and thought it was a great experience. I will play it again when it's done, whatever long that is.
Don't get your hopes up about creating modules like NWN. In most D&D games you could save your characters on your own PC and then join that character into hundreds of servers/worlds people created. BG3 is going to be like D:OS 2 where the characters are all stored on the host's PC, so after you play a session and disconnect you pretty much lose that character.

Hopefully they delay the release and release a really polished amazing game.

I found DOS 2 to be flat out amazing in every way, and it was one of the two games I have played to completion in the last 10 years. BG3 test run was awesome, I love what I played, but I am going to wait for a full release because otherwise, it feels sorta spoiled.
