The piece of shit Solasta is getting a sequel despite the devs seemingly having learned nothing from the first game because the UI and characters are still disgusting.
Reminder that BG3 copied Solasta’s system of party members jumping across gaps together, instead of individually ordering a separate jump command for each in turn.
as long Soros and jews pay, it gonna be made. simple as
>>3675633Some of the faces there look better than before on the icons. Interface looks fine.
Faces look substantially better. Grid outline looks a tad weird but whatever.
Pic related was a playable character in solasta as a halfling
solasta was good. if you want le SOVL go replay the baldur's gate games or whatever.
I was willing to tolerate 5th ed at the time, but now I can't ignore how 5th ed is complete garbage.
I swear I'll cast down any Sorr-Akkath I find in this sequel. Total Sorr-Akkath death
>>3675633This game was ok, but they updated it to make all the characters looks transexual.
>>3675633I dont understand people who play this game. Whats the point of all the figthing if no story. They should do a proper rpg.
>>3675975Story isn't important in games, it can exist but its not important.Most devs use the story just as a vessel and nothing else.
>>3675633Isn't 5e getting replaced soon? This seems like a dumb idea.
>>3676001They use OGL derivative, so unless Hasbro goes full retard again, they may not care
>>3675975Its a game about combat. Combat is the main dish, thats it. And its rather well made, even if its 5e, it feels good to play.
the dungeon maker is still going to be an afterthought if it's included at all, oh well
>>3675633looks fine
>>3675975The combat is fun and it has loads of user made campaigns to play.
>>3675975Self made histories are better.
>>3676147Damn, I was hoping that they would be fleshing it out more.Kind of understandable though, making that kind of shit work probably takes a lot of dev time. They want to focus on the main campaign since thats what 90% of players are there for.
>>3676017play XCOM2 then
>>3675633Fix the horrible melted faced tranny characters and it'll be fine. Good even, for its budget.
>playing D&D for the combatlol>playing D&D 5e for the combatLOL
>>3676147>hey guys, we aren’t sure we can still do what made our game stand out >but we will try to be more like BG3 with a still tiny budget Decisions. Decisions.
crown of the magister campaign is pretty good as long as you pretend it's a comedy
Shitty character models can be modded away.What cannot be modded away if the shitty D&D 5e systems.A seriously retarded decision by the devs. I'm not touching this awful system ever again.
Bare foot mommy villain.
>>3676614>Shitty character models can be modded away.Yet nobody did, because nobody gave a shit about this awful game
>>3676626There is actually a massive mod for Solasta 1 and several hundred user made campaigns.But apparently actually inputting new models was not understood or not possible.
>>3675975For those who want to play user made dungeons?
>>3676000>Story isn't important in games, it can exist but its not important.This will forever be a retarded shit take.Games are the sum of everything in them. Your experience is affected by the sound, music, ui, controls, font, dialogue, story, etc.If you're making a long RPG with basically no story or interesting characters that puts a lot of pressure everything else being exceptional and varied. Solasta is not even remotely that good. It's mid in almost everything else.
>>3675633>characters are still disgustingCharacter were OK for crpg, but original sin was retard cinematic mode that forced you too look at them from close. If we were left with only look from afar like in your pic then it would be ok. >>3675975>if no storyIt is /pol the cRPG played straight so hard it becomes funny, starting with drunk schizo hobo telling you about shapeshifting lizardmen controlling government (the jews) that everyone thinks is a myth, only to learn in first mission they are real and everybody thinks your party is now crazy schizos.
>The piece of shit Solasta is getting a sequel Contain your excitement, I can't wait either.
>Might not even be Soraks in this game.
>>3675633Haha, this and Witcher were the only games I looked forward too. It’s a flawed game but also so well done it doesn’t matter.I’m pretty pumped.
>>3675975Dungeon crawler fans
I thought Solasta 1 (crown of the magister) was fantastic just because the encounter design was so good.>At the highest difficulty, I had much more fun with the combat in Solasta compared to BG3. >Making your own 4 custom characters, all who were voiced, was very fun even if it was not super-high-production-values.quoting myself
>>3675633>turn-based onlyI hate this.
>>3675975>Whats the point of all the figthing if no story.
I'm moderately hyped for it. The first Solasta was pretty good but very rough around the edges in many ways.If they do the same just better then I'm in
>>3675975Read a book sometimes storyfag
>>3676678it's not that the story doesn't matter it's the fact that every story will inevitably be dogshit so you lose nothing by not including a story in your video game.
>>3679425Even my porn needs a storyline. Doesn't have to be great. But 'something'.
>>3679425Writing and story is very overrated in games. And not be the default vrpg contrarian fuckhead I think BG3 is one of those games that has good writing and greatly benefited from itMost games have bad writing though. Unless you have a creative genius on your team just focus on making your game fun to play. There are so few RPGs that are fun to play but Solasta was one of the better ones
>>3679361decent story elevates the game, even shit like doom 2016 which had almost no story but enough to be a decent atmospheric fps compared to doom eternal which despite vastly improved gameplay had story was so retarded and annoying it made me cringe whenever there was a cutscene.
You can get away with minimal story if you have a solid setting.
>>3679499I prefer Doom ‘94s story.
>>3675975Is this bait?
>>3679499>decent story elevates the gamethen bad story tarnishes the gamethink story is just separate from game
>>3679319After playing games where you can swap between both I really miss being able to swap to rtwp when cleaning up the last couple enemies. Saves so much time.
>>3679319There are plenty of games that let you push a button and make something awesome happen. Maybe those are more your speed?
>>3675633Gameplay looks good. Let's hope they don't do the cutscene simulator dialogue again or the $20 single class packs.
Apparently they have switched from unity to unreal engine. Essentially remaking everything from scratch
>>3679788>unreal engineIts so fucking tiresome. It's a shit engine for rpgs.
>>3679788This is why I'm lukewarm on the whole thing. The first game just needed refinement. Starting over with a new engine means the combat might actually end up worse. But prettier.Still can't believe they aren't promising a dungeon maker. A serious wtf.
>>3676147what the fuck, i recognize that name from one of the only two book-related subs i have to use reddit for
>>3679788This seems like a fucking terrible idea for small studio like them. Not to mention the dungeon maker was what made them stand out from other current crpgs. It should have been a focus in the sequel
>>3675634Explains why that particular mechanic is broken and doesn't work as intended.
>>3675674Fitting
>>3676017It's incredibly cheap. Enemy selection is atrocious, so is itemization and don't start me with the horrible incantations.
>>3679425I've never met one person who holds this opinion who wasn't a philistine with mind-numbing prole tastes in video games anyways.
>>3676244>Self made historiesBut Solasta is bad at that too, since none of the new options are interesting or flavorful, merely mechanical.
Faces will be better though. Think of the faces.
>>3681832>merely mechanical.Which is what a video game is for.
>>3675975>w-where's the gay sex?Look anon, I'm tired of romancefags, and maybe you aren't like that but most people who wants "history" just want a romance sim in-game.I'm tired of it, I'm tired of shit-ass companions, I don't want to hear their shit-ass sob stories or hear about how they disapproves my actions, and go out of my way to solve their personal issues with side-quests that have nothing to do with my chosen path, I'd rather just create my own mercs and Solasta is the only game who had the right idea to try to give your mercs the least bit of personality.
>four party members>when five is possible
>>3685980Why not 6? Why not 8, why not 12?
>>3685980>t. odd man out
>>3677249thats just a nwn1 reference you dumb election glownigger tourist.
>>3679435I like to play pathfinders randomizer dungeons with a party and just make up the story myself.
>>3675685Asking for more games that contain soul is not bad actually
>>3682023Here's hoping.
>>3686005I would accept 8 and also 12.
>>3675975You don't always need a story in combat/exploration focused games. It's appealing in the same way dungeon crawlers are. If you don't understand why people enjoy those then the game will never be for you.
>>3675633But anon, I saw my brother play it for a bit. His green (half?) orc fighter called goblins "disgusting green filth" or something. Can a game that put that in really be that bad? Also, didn't it have plenty of fun environmental activity like fighters being able to pick enemies and throw them into chasms and push boulders?
>>3675633Does Solasta even have a story?
>>3692069>His green (half?) orc fighter called goblins "disgusting green filth" or something.Is this an equivalent of a black person calling another black person an n-word?
>>3692173unfortunately yes
>>3692173>Does Solasta even have a story?It’s da Joos. Unironically.
>>3692173Lizard people who shapeshift are trying to take over the world. Then in the dlc sequel, demons who can also shapeshift are trying to take over the world. They ally with the shapeshifting lizards.Also, your own characters can go schizo at any time because of the personality system.Might sound like I'm bashing it all but I genuinely enjoyed it in a sort of ultra-low-budget kind of way. The combat is also good despite being 5e.
>>3675975>Whats the point of all the figthing if no story.>They should do a proper rpg.95% of games has shit story.Solasta is the best PnP adaptation in gaming.With a nice simple story that doesn't pretend to be anything special.I like it a lot.
Solasta was a kickstarter game that didn't even promise all the classes, did not have multiplayer, and did not have a dungeon maker.All that shit was added after release. On request. For mutha fuckas like us.That's why the DLC structure is fucked too.
>>3692401>Solasta is the best PnP adaptation in gaming.There was ToEE for 3rd ed, too.
>>3692889I think he means currently. Otherwise, Pool of Radiance would take the cake easily.
>>3675633If they improve picrel, it might be playable, if story isn't atrocious.
>>3675975I read books if I want a good story at this age
