Solasta 1 was great for its budget and scope. I especially loved the three-dimensionality of it, how I could, for example, detonate a fireball mid-air and catch multiple enemies with it when in BG3 I often had the issue of enemies or allies being in the way and I had to either make a pixel perfect click or was just unable to do what I wanted. Also, holding actions was great in Solasta, and it is another thing I prefer over BG3's system. Also the UI was just better imo, with all available moves being grouped by resource, action type and spell level, as opposed to BG3's bar of abilities. Very excited to see what they can do with a bigger budget and hope they keep these elements from the first game.

I actually think them taking your romance companion would've been great. Yes I understand that most people play with that character in there party, but it would force players to have to pick someone else from the party that they've probably never tried before. I can see why they choose against it, but I think they missed a bit with that.

I started to play Solasta, but then BG3 came out and i played it. Voice acting, animation, character creation, story- all was better. But there is one thing i really liked in Solasta- option to Hold action. I kinda wanna believe that Solasta 2 will be better, so i guess i should finish Sol1 and DLCs to really continue the story.

I'll be excited when it releases, untill then don't care.

As I’ve always said, BG3 is just a Solasta knockoff 🤷🏻‍♂️😆

One think I liked about the game was every class had one subclass we recognized and the other options where all hombrew subclasses with more relevance for the world. I can’t wait to see what they plan to make for it

They are making a new stolaris. Are they going to update the graphics. It was my main issue with the last one

I love Solasta. As a fan of the tabletop, I love the ability to theorycraft and test out my build ideas in what feels like an actual d and d campaign.

Wow It looks way improved over 1

Is it coming to console?

i played solasta crown of the magister and the dlcs too, can only recommend it and as soon as i saw the trailer i wishlisted thisone too! they have all my trust and support for this sequel! :)

I've been playing Solasta for the third time now and it is still fun to play. Can't wait to roll Attributes for hours again!

Thought you were going to say "Shadow of the Road"

as someone who loved witcher 3 and after playing nothing but it for like 6 monthes i read all the books, witcher 4 is pissing all over the lore and characters, if your excited for witcher 4 your not a witcher fan your a consumer and nothing will stop you from "consuming product"

My biggest problem with the original Solasta was that the armors and clothing looked bulky and puffy, like you were wearing five poofy winter coats. Looks like they got THAT fixed. I wonder if it's easier to being in new meshes for new creatures...

Gotta replay the first one to get familiar with the lore again.

Solasta is one of my favorite CRPGs so i'm hyped for the sequel. i just hope they include another Dungeon Maker so we can get more awesome custom campaigns from the community.

oh yeah CRPGS I hope they keep the isometric style like pillars of eternity 1 & 2

as someone who played BG3 and the first Solasta game i can't really compare them, Narratively Solasta fell flat on its face for me and i think it had alot to do with the limitations of character design and DLC being needed in order to play specific classes where as BG3 was an all included trip into the world of DnD and mod support from the developers themselves only enhanced that further, if Solasta II wants to succeed and be the best it can be i'm hoping they'll have learned some things from BG3's success.

There’s going to be a Solasta 2?!? Squeeeeee!!!

Solasta is a very good game, I backed it long time ago on kickstarter and it didn't fail. The only problem it has is the graphic quality which doesn't live up to todays standards and I really hope it will be improved in the sequel.

Solasta is okay, I liked it well enough. Though liking BG3 is going to be a poor leading indicator if one likes Solasta. The D&D system isnt what makes BG3 great. BG3 is great because of the outstanding characters, setting, world building, reactivity, and role-playing. Even being generous Solasta was mediocre at all the above. It was a really good faithful combat sandbox and that was about it. That will appeal to alot of people myself included but will not really overlap with the broader BG3 fanbase. As for Solasta 2 ... not really enough information to know ... but I would say so far the Solasta team hasnt show much talent along the aforementioned parameters that made BG3 exceptional. Hope springs eternal but that all this is. It isn't an evidenced based conclusion.

It may be hard to implement mods into Solasta 2 being tied to Unreal5, mods create a more tailormade experience for gamers and also can help to gain higher review scores. After all, it can be a tough slog to play a game in which you feel is lacking features (that could be added by modders) or has tedious or annoying mechanics (that can be stripped out by modders), this can turn a 7-8/10 game into a 9-10/10 game. Of course nothing beats direct communication with the playerbase whilst in development, but even then you'll never cater to everyone, mods can bridge those gaps. Baldur's gate 3 in it's vanilla form isn't a 10/10 for me personally, but modded it's pretty close. 😉

I love Solasta: CotM in all it's janky, "ugly modeled" glory. If Solasta 2 is just more Solasta, but prettier, I'm 100% all in. It's not a better story than BG3, but the gameplay, combat, and feeling like just playing the tabletop in video game form was much better imo.

Solasta was (and still is) a fantastic game if you could get over the ugly character models and I'm definitely excited about Solasta II coming. It also implemented the PnP rules really well and fortunately WotC can't interfere or influence it's development.

So nice to hear Devs taking on valid criticism and acting, game looks fab and with these gamer focused team it's a buy for me.

I was like, hey, looks like Solasta... oh wait it is! I need to wishlist it... oh wait, I already have. Apparently, I wishlisted it right after TGA. Thank you for the reminder!

I wonder if I could also 'romance' instead of fighting that witch from the trailer?

I finished all of Solasta plus dlc before I even touched BG3. It was a fantastic game imo. Can’t wait to see all the improvements.

i really wish they'd let us increase scrolling sensitivity in Solasta 1, it's so slow. Plus let us turn off any bright coloured overlays

Eavry Great crpg has amelia taylor, for players to goon over, therefore solasta 2 is guranteed sucess, witcher 4s gonna crash and burn tho.

My favourite at the moment is warhammer darktide

Having seen this clip from the Game Awards, I was tempted to go and try Solasta, it spoke to me more than any of the other 'DND inspired' games did. The videos of Solasta 2 are gorgeous. But having now tried Solasta, there are a lot of things that are issues for me. So I have wishlisted Solasta 2, and I will be watching and trying any demo or Early Access version.

i love Solasta it is a unique game , had a real blast with it, yes the animations and voice acting can be little wonky, but that does not matter when the combat is so good and it is made by a small team. This game lead me to BG 3 and cant wait for Solasta 2, i have a feeling its going to be as good as BG 3, 2025 is going to be a great year for RPG fans.

I would say that most BG3 fans aren't there for the DnD 5 edition, but for the heavy story-driven narrative, characters and the choices & consequences. Basically everything that Solasta 1 severely UNDELIVERED. Solasta 2 would need to pick up a lot of slack before any 'Baldur's Gate 3 fans will love it' statements should even be considered.

The main question, though, can you play it in co-op on split screen? Because that's how I played (and replayed) Divinity2 and BG3 with my wife and that's the default mode for us.

Solasta was one of the games in the past decade

Solasta was a limited 5E game, using the limited basic rules that anyone can use without WotC having any ability to interfere! The classes, subclasses, feats, magic items and spells created for Solasta were some great replacements for the 5E stuff that WotC still controls! It is such a fun game and the 2 expansion were very fun!

Demon's Souls to Elden Ring* would be the more correct analogy.

Character creation tho?

Day one grab for me. I was stoked when the trailer dropped.

As a console player guess need to hope w4 is great

Not gonna lie, I never heard of the first one. The fact that it came out in 2021... I'm not too shocked about that since I wasn't really gaming much in those days. If I was playing anything it was sticking with the old games that I knew. Hearing about BG3 early access got me back into games like this because I loved the Baldur's Gate games back in the day. I will definitely want to try this one when it's available.

Great....ANOTHER Unreal game. yaaay so excited.

Solasta has been on my wishlist for a while now. I just can't seem to get around to playing everything I want to play. While I'm not specifically excited for Solasta 2, I'm really glad it's getting made. I'll get to that wishlist eventually.

I enjoyed the first one. Solid game.

I'll be adding it to my games list, right after Rogue Trader and Spellforce III

Ive heard about the first one quite a few times I need to get around to playing it it's been in my steam backlog for years

I loved the first game. Especially the idea that you can give your group different personalities like an egoistic and zynic cleric. And that some quite cool dialogs were made with different combinations. I am really looking forward to this. Thanks for bringing this up :)
