Yeh Pathfinder WOTR is superb.
BG3 is missing lots of flavour and choice and I am not sure what Larian spent their development time on.

looked at photos of penises and vaginas

Last five years? Yeah
Best in this genre is harder to quantify though, a big draw of cRPGs has traditionally been roleplay, story and writing rather than gameplay. Which are all more subjective.
Gameplay and interactivity though? BG3 safely knocks it out of the park

but what about Solasta: Crown of the Magister?

The game whose claim to fame was having "more authentic 5e combat" in relation to BG3? It sucks as a stand-alone CRPG, with none of the aspects that makes even basic implementations engaging. You don't even get basic role-play and decision-making in Solasta's campaign.

Ironically, without the BG3 rub nobody would be talking about that game. And now that BG3 is released, I don't think it will be mentioned ever again.

So far, yes. Best crpg I've played in a while.

Not by a country mile

No, far from it. First, I prefer what Tactical Adventures did with the 5th ruleset than Larian...
On storytelling, Larian was never a good company. That's why their early games shined more than DoS: they were Diablo-like and those kind of games don't need a strong storytelling. A long campaign like DoS does, and they didn't get good writers. Both DoS were quite bland and the world of Rivellon lost most its dark fantasy soul (even though it already started with previous games).
For RPG, I recommend Obsidian usually to get a better experience. Also, TbT mechanics are good on tabletop but tend to be boring for video gaming as it's not dynamic enough. TbT is suitable to games with a go or chess games level of tactics, which is never reached in video gaming. So TbT are usually pretty weak tactically (even if they're better than A-RPG). DoS was quite weak, and BG3 EA didn't make me optimistic about it. At least, there's the dice system that'll challenge our choices, that's an improvement to me compared to DoS. RNG-games are more tactic-friendly as you need to think a bit more to overcome the effects of potential bad dice rolls.

At the moment, I'd say that Obsidian is a bit ahead of Owlcat for RPG quality. Then comes Bethesda, Larian,... But both Obsidian and Owlcat are not making strict TbT games, but real-time with pause games. It's still turn-based, but it's far more dynamic and requires better planning and understanding of game mechanics. Also, games like Pillars of Eternity, Pathfinder, Tyranny,... are closer in term of mechanics to the original Baldur's Gate saga than what Larian is delivering here.

Anyway, if you want a good game, Baldur's Gate 3 is a good game. No worries about it.

Thanks for the answers guys, much apriciated.

[Swimfan]

Yes, best CRPG I have played yet and could become my favorite RPG of all time.

Dragon Age: Origins, Arcanum, Neverwinter, Solasta, Kingdoms of Amalur, Hell even Mass Effect 1 was better..

Solasta Crown of the Magister is better in a few ways. I suspect BG3 wins in some ways over Solasta.

If you want to play just one, I would recommend Solasta. It just made better design decisions and gives you more power over the design of your party and heroes without making it complex.

Combat is better too.

Less time wasting stuff in Solasta, it feels like the designer respects the players time in about 5 ways more than BG3.
