Look at me! Aren't I prettier and better?"

Can't they both just get along?😁


I get that S****** is a great D&D simulator and there is stuff there that Larian can utilize for its own system but that game is ultimately about an inch deep.

Funny to read this on the forum of the game that probably have the less deep tactical TB combats of all time^^

I don't know how you can call half of BG3's experience if half of Solasta is "an inch deep".
(Considering combats are something like half of our gameplay hours, which may not be 100% accurate).

Really, of all time? Like all gaming history? You sure you are not being hyperbolic?

I have to be honnest, no I'm not sure smile
But BG3's combats aren't deep at all. What they did to their base material is terrible.

DnD works perfectly well in video games. You don't have to play Solasta to understand it, just read the rules.

This very small game has STRONG foundations in its mechanics whatever we're talking about combats, resting, (fast)travelling, crafting, leveling, rewarding players, inventory management, user interface, control scheme, movement, tutorials, character creation, verticality...
Close to everything is good about it's mechanic.

At the moment Baldur's Gate 3 has close to nothing that works about these basics points and it's not only a matter of "balance" (creatures AC, abilities and so on), it's a matter of foundations.

Ofc you may enjoy better graphics and a "deeper" story much more than combats.
But I personnaly would be more confident about a small game that has strong foundations for the future (and things to improve) than a beautifull game that's close to perfect technicaly but that has a repetitive and boring combat gameplay after a few hours.

Let's wait and see what game Larian really wants to make.

If I remember well you said you only played Solasta 2 hours (refund) ?
