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.

Imo Solasta is a better implementation of 5e mechanics (aside from the lack of grappling improvised weapons), but BG3 story is undeniably better

Can’t wait to try crackling lance of disintegration with battlemage, rebuke of the vaal and beacon of madness

And also try to figure out a way to use flameblast of contaction

Pile driver, 2 songbirds and some other high impact you can carry

Open with charged pile driver, immediately unload all your cannons into it, slap another charged pile driver while it’s stunned

After that only go for pile driver when it’s stunned

I played with reverse joint, but i reckon quad would be the best, as you can just stay above it, outside its melee range.

If it pounces at you while you’re on the ground close to it, dive under it
