Definitely recommend that one, assuming it's yours Artyoan? However, I'm pretty sure it took me more like 35, and I found it pretty challenging on Authentic.
Yep. I never did time any of my playthroughs and since I know where everything is and is not, its won't be all that accurate anyway. I don't stealth where I don't need to either, which no one else knows on a first playthrough. I put 15+ hours in the description but the player would have to bypass half the combat to accomplish anything near that low.
Solasta is another example of the resurgence of good, squad-based tactics games in the last few years. The developer did not make much of an attempt to emulate D&D exploration, either in the dungeon or the wilderness, so the encounter zones are largely linear, as is the overall structure of the game. Also, since it's based on "D&D 5th Edition", the party size is a mere four player-characters. Those are the chief limitations of the game.
The community mod is now defunct, but will be updated and called Unfinished Business, and will still include the ability to use 6 party members. Should be out in December sometime. Of those who played with six party members in my campaign, I had reported issues with teleporters though. No idea if that part is fixed in any way in the new mod.
Inner Strength Hotfix #1 - v1.4.28 Patch Notes
Changelog
Some known issues we're working on
- Fixed a very bad bug that would make the game hang up during enemies' turn.
- Fixed the newly added spells missing their vocal spellcasting component.
- Fixed the warning message popping up everytime you used loot all on the ground (get off my back game, I can carry all that loot and you know it. Let me be a loot goblin)
- Fixed the lute being held the wrong way when spellcasting. You've got to pluck the cords, my bard, not knock on the wooden side.
- Fixed Ranger Marskman's Fast Aim not properly working on all ranged weapons
- Fixed the placeholder Snow Tiger appearing as a choice for Kindred Spirit Druids
- Removed faulty placeholder pregen characters. Bye bye HopeBard08, we won't miss you.
- Fixed Monks being unable to use Martial Arts bonus attack when holding a torch
- Fixed Bards have a restricted selection of skills at level 1
- Fixed a random german subtitle line that appeared in the tavern cutscene at the beginning of CotM. My dude got so drunk that they started speaking german.
- Fixed the Elf Female Face 01 having changed by mistake
- Fixed the Draconic Sorcerer Elemental Affinity scaling into infinity, allowing for 100+ damage cantrips. Some say that jet fuel can't melt steel beams, but bugged fire bolts sure can.
- Fixed the Winter Wolf being removed from the Dungeon Maker by mistake.
Dev Stream on Monday 21st
- Items can currently be
permanently deleted in the inventory the following ways - DO NOT DO THIS
before we release a new fix:- Drag & Dropping a stack of items (torches, candles, javelins, darts...) on an equipped slot (such as your weapon slot) will delete whatever was there. You think turning water into wine is impressive? Watch me turn this +2 longsword of doom into a 1d4 damage dart.
- If your inventory is large enough to have a scroll bar, if you have only one item in the last row, drag and dropping it back into your inventory will delete it. It's like a magic trick, but a very crappy one because you don't get the item back later.
- Warlock Invocations can't be swapped during level up in multiplayer - trying to do so will simply delete an invocation without giving you another one to swap with. If you really need to swap an invocation, save before leveling, level up in solo, save again and load that new save in multiplayer.
- There's a very weird bug that makes some character values got banana, granting some players up to 40 AC, 4 attacks per turn (those blessed by RNG) and for others removing the ability to Extra Attack or being stuck at 0 Ki Points (those who got crapped on by RNG). We're working on a fix that will restore balance to this world.
- High Elves Bards can't use Ritual Casting at the moment. We're working on making the feature racism-free.
We'll also be holding a Dev Stream on Twitch Monday 21st at 9 am PST / 12 pm EST / 6 pm CET to talk about the new update and answer your questions^^
I agree about a lot of WoW classes and their design. I haven't played the released 'Classic' version but I did play WoW back on its initial release. The Warlock quests as well as the Shaman quests were outstanding class related exclusives that actually felt like the player earned something when got their demon or totem. WoW is the best possible example of how a company can develop something under a philosophy, only to change that philosophy over time without even realizing it. At its outset they put a hyper focus on making each class feel distinct, both with out of combat flavor spells, and in-combat style. Paladins not having a strike was a result of that. Instead, they gave up on that and started to cut and converge.
Community campaigns are more restricted on verticality than the main campaigns are. Extremely rare you would need/want to use shove in any of them. That said, I have one in my signature which is a full 1 to 12 campaign. Shadows over Brightreach is getting good reviews and is 5 to 12 though I have yet to play it.
I thought I'd replied to you, lukaszek, but I guess I didn't. In any event it was mainly going to be to recommend checking out Forsaken Isle, which is Artyoan's joint.
never liked the monk anyway, only one I would maybe be interested in would be a mid-evil type monk...maybe a hermit type character would be interesting, but a kung-fu character is dumb and I have no interest and I have never actually made a monk in my life.
man I hope so, that would be bad ass and really change the game a bunch for me honestly
exactly, that is what I said, scrolled out, and especially interior locations this game looks as good as any, and honestly most of the time you are playing scrolled out..so this game looks pretty good, besides is BG3 ever going to be released anyway? like WTF?Was holding back on this as I hadn't even finished WOTR (was getting a little fatigued as the amount of trash fights is still off the charts). Damn this is actually real good. That is if you can accept a game that narrative-wise is less about having an epic story, and more about providing a bit of context to pretty fun tactical combat. (I was more invested in Icewind Dale's narrative than this, tbh, Icewind Dale DOES have a pretty decent story for what is essentially a dungeon crawl).
It's also cool to play a CRPG for a bit of a change that:
- doesn't need you to engage in repetitive buff orgies before like every fight
- has fighters being fighters, rather than for the sake of "balance" let them cast non-spells (this is a party game anyway, what does it matter if casters can do more?)
- doesn't have epic +1 +2 +3 magic loot like everywhere, something that seems to have started with BG2 (my party is level 6 and still carrying standard weaponry)
- doesn't have an abundance of talens and feats that mostly bog down to like a +5% increase in hit chance anyway (ok, there could be a bit more options, in particular on level-up)
Mind you, a lot of this is down to the game being based on D&D 5e, but the implemantion seems solid, the combat is fun, there's surprises to be had during travels as well, what's not to like? Also, the production values are on the occasion surprisingly solid for a game from a team of 20. It's fairly uneven (character models, locations). But if somebody would have shown me this shot beforehand, I couldn't have told whether this was BG3 or else (but then, according to Vincke, much of the extra budget of BG3 goes straight into cinematics... MEH!!!1 ).
