You are glued to those story rails and they are going to bring you inexorably to a single outcome without any deviation.

In many ways Solasta is almost the total opposite of an actual TT D&D experience. Players who enjoy a rigid ruleset will appreciate it, but creative players will find it stifling.

Finally I am honestly not in agreement that there can be a comparison between these two games. Compare Solasta to WOTR - that makes sense, they are both single player games. BG3 is in a whole other category of super ambitious games that come along once in a decade.

Ok, that IS interesting. I had written it off because lack of multiplayer is such a huge deal to my groups. You go out there and look at all the RPG's out there and 90% of them are single player but the market really wants multiplayer games in this time of Covid.

Likely I will wait until it has native support - but really this is exactly the kind of thing I want for BG3, a platform that people can build Modules for and run groups in.

Have they talked about the timeline for the Multiplayer release of solasta 1.0? Do they have plans for a DM mode? What kind of features?
