![]() ![]() My only hope with character creation is that they add multiclassing at some point so I can play my go-to fighter/thief. So if you like to min and max like I do, you will have a halfling thief and an elven ranger, dwarven cleric and maybe a human fighter. You roll dice to get your stats, or you can do a point buy, and your abilities are influenced by your racial and personal background. With Solasta, I felt like I was getting ready to play a real D&D module, a process that started right with character creation. That was one of the things that was a little maddening in Baldur’s Gate 3, because it felt more like a Divinity game than a D&D-based title. One of the things that I was most impressed with in Solasta is the level of faithfulness that the developers cultivated in terms of sticking to the D&D rules. So Tactical Adventures is making good use of their time. ![]() I jumped into Solasta just after the huge January update, and found a very playable game that has a few little foibles, but seems so much more polished than Baldur’s Gate 3 was when I first tackled it. Some of them were quite large, being almost 15G in download size. Solasta: Crown of the Magister, like Baldur’s Gate 3, was also released into Early Access, and over the past few months the developers have been deploying lots of patches. That is not necessarily a bad thing in terms of this review. So they had good timing, but because they didn’t have the Baldur’s Gate name, it kind of languished in my to-do pile for a while. Developed by Tactical Adventures, it promised a true to life conversion of a real D&D pen and paper type of game, at a time when meeting in person around the table was ill-advised. Developer Larian Studios released the game into Steam’s Early Access program, giving everyone a good look at the first chapter of the new title.Ībout the same time, I became aware of another game that used the Dungeon and Dragons fifth edition ruleset called Solasta: Crown of the Magister. Having played through the entire classic series and all of the DLCs, I was really excited to see what the new game could offer. Back in November, I took a look at Baldur’s Gate 3, which for me was one of the most anticipated games of the year. ![]()
