I wish they would just trust the community to buy the game, and pay to use the PHB. I GENERALLY dont love their subclasses or subraces in Solasta.

I get it though. Who wouldn't want to put their dream homebrew in a video game? It's like asking a happy kid to ONLY color within the lines. You can practically feel the excitement coming off the devs.

I liked a lot of the homebrew classes, though there were definitely a few misses (I think the sorcerer subclasses, in particular, lacked focus), and I really missed the Battlemaster. Licensing the PHB would definitely up appeal to a general audience though, especially after the success of BG3.

Some standouts I really liked, like the Tree Warlock. Just overall, I wish I was able to use PHB subclasses for most of the classes.

And i would have liked to see a bit of a different spectrum of more classic D&D enemies in there - the homebrew evil extradimensional lizardmen were pretty meh.

Just stunningly uninspired and un-threatening. What is this, Neverwinter Nights?! I thought they were the weakest part of the game. And then to add insult to injury, in the Palace of Ice DLC, they add demons as another major enemy type, which can do everything the Soraks can but better.

Considering the size of their team and their budget, I enjoyed the game. Don't expect AAA writing from a AA game.

Solasta 1 was a lot of fun, so I'm looking forward to Solasta 2. However, you can only go up to level 4, and new levels won't be added for a bout a year, so I'll wait a while before purchasing.

While BG 3 is a better game overall for many people, I think Solasta 1 was a better implementation of the D&D rules. BG 3 felt very much like a Larian game with a D&D paint job for me.

I decided to support the devs and get early access but haven't had any time to do playtests yet. Maybe this weekend when I'm stuck inside because of a freakin' blizzard.

I'm super-excited about Solasta 2, but I'm going to stay away from the early access. I burned out on BG3 playing the first chapter in EA, and when the full game came out it was hard to get back in. Not making the same mistake twice!

I'll probably do a playthrough, provide feedback and set it aside for a couple of months.
