I'm not gonna lie here. But Solasta was refreshing to play in that you don't need to stack a billion buffs and attack bonus on top of the base attack bonus, just in order you can hit more powerful enemies later on. My own party at the end of each Solasta campaign in terms of AC was in the 20s -- the same goes for the most powerful enemies. Naturally, that's only a part of D&D 5e (the binded accuracy part), though.

Even on the computer, where you don't need to do everything "manually", I find the lower level play, at least in those terms, to be more enjoyable. But then you're also managing a full party. Not just a character you role-play. It's not the buffing per se, it's minimal buffs and bonus that need to be stacked on top of each other to eventually do something useful.



Big parts of the entire system just scream: "Less but more unique would be more." Why are there so many buffs and talents that basically boil down to increasing hit chance by smallest of increments? How many healing spells do you really need? This isn't depth and complexity. It's just bloated, which is different. At least here it's the computer keeping track of all of that.
