D&D 5E Solasta 2 Announced!!!

[Gorck]

I am so looking forward to this! My daughter and I loved playing the first game together, each of us creating 2 characters to fill out the 4 person party. It scratched our D&D itch when we couldn’t get enough people together to play regular D&D.

I genuinely prefer Solasta's story to the over-the-top nonsense of BG3. Sometimes simple but believable is better.

I guess this is a good sign, because the first game was sold well, and then the franchise has earned some brand power. It may mean a ray of hope D&D can work within the videogame industry because we remember most of D&D videogames haven't been so popular as BG or Newerwinter Nights.

In some ways I actually prefer Solasta to BG 3. Solasta's voice acting is pretty mediocre, but I got tired of everyone hitting on my character in BG and pretty graphics don't really mean much to me. I know some people like exploring all the options and choices in BG but I'll never be into playing the evil guy and video game romance just kind of feels like a chore and mini-mission.

I went back and played Solasta a second time with a different build and enjoyed it, not to mention all the user created mods out there. Still haven't done a second run of BG 3.

Solasta has a pretty over-the-top plot. We have refugees from another world pursued by an evil god (who is an aspect of a good god), and lizardy minions who no one believes exist. A dimensional rift that has to be destroyed in order to prevent the end of the world. Then the second sequel involves the arrival of aliens from yet another dimension (demons from hell).

It is free of soppy romance subplots though.

BG3 has plenty of alternatives even if you stick to heroic choices only. Around four different ways to heroically defeat the BBEG.

As opposed to an invasion by illithid from another plane that have opened a dimensional rift that must be closed?

It's not like the basic plots are really all that different.

I didn’t claim BG3 was any more grounded. Good luck finding a D&D plot that doesn’t involve dimensional shenanigans and evil godlike entities!

Solasta was in some ways about the Reptilian plot to take over the world, the Soraks are shape-shifting lizard people after all.
