I actually tried to get into ToEE years ago during my earliest forays into discovering the cRPG genre. I couldn't get into it due to not really understanding much of what was going on mechanics-wise, not to mention having much direction to go on. I ended up bouncing off of BG2 almost immediately for that same reason, and now recognize that I should probably just play BG1 first despite everyone saying that it's supposedly skippable.
I think nowadays, I'd have enough understanding of general DnD mechanics to understand. What are the list of mods you'd recommend, Blackheifer? I think I had the so-called mandatory Temple+ mod, but it sounds like there are many more that I should be looking at.
Part of the reason I ended up being so interested in Solasta was that ToEE was championed as the best rendition of DnD turn-based combat in video game form, and that Solasta was poised to finally take that crown. So I would eventually like to see for myself if that estimation was any accurate at all.
