KickStarter Solasta Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Cryomancer]

hit me up when the game is on sale and has some decent modules up in the workshop

I don't know if it will have a release day sale, but there are already several good class mods on Nexus. And one that allows variant (better) human rules.

Any mod which adds 5e pale master? Is hard to develop mods for Solasta?

hit me up when the game is on sale and has some decent modules up in the workshop

it's on 20% off release day sale.

And as Acrux said it already has a lot of mods on Nexus. Most of them dungeon modules

Yeah alright. Gotta dig the thread to find some value I suppose, but christ this fucking place takes itself way too much as a chat room sometimes

No one seems to mention the home brewed classes or changes to darkvision. No one seems to talk about the lighting either.

I haven't taken reviewers seriously in years. Both Solasta and Biomutant reviews solidify my stance.

this one does, the more the guy knows about rpgs the better the score gets... Solasta: Crown of the Magister review -- A treat for D&D fans (pcinvasion.com)

I don't see a reason to mess w/ Nexus (which I don't use because they 1. require an account and 2. are woke and ban "problematic" mods) when Steam Workshop exists and is infinitely simpler.

boy, have I got a LET'S PLAY for you!

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

how the fuck did half-elf beat out half-orc as the last race?

Half orcs are rapebabies and that hits too close to home for 5E lovers.

Bought it! Would be great if they decided to exit Early Access in the next few hours, but of course that likely won't happen...

Anyway, thanks to all you excellent codexers who provided these guys with feedback and let us all know how nicely the game has shaped up! Very excited to play it. Here's hoping these guys will continue making great games well into the future.

As someone with access to the private modder forum on nexusmods:
Modders hate the people that use their mods.

Soyer disease. Good way to make mediocre games/mods.

Y'all go to an eternal faculty lounge when you die.

Installing. First time I've looked at this. You really recommend day one mod?

Play vanilla first, as God intended.

Here's a review with home brewed classes and talking about lighting. Though it appears to be a place focused more on RPGs so that's probably why.

 

[Bara]

So full release is 12 hours now from this post

 

[HoboForEternity]

Any post release content planned for this game? I am torn between starting troubleshooter or this.

First time I've felt any regret moving to Linux 100%. I haven't waded into the WINE pool much yet, mostly dipped my toe. This is a compelling incentive to start though.

Have a dual boot. I love Linux but sadly M$ owns a monopoly on PC gaming and after soyny doing all types of BS, M$ will own a console monopoly too.

These are videogame journalists. Not sure what you are expecting from them. Darkvision wasn't important in other (popular) cRPGs, so I am sure they simply missed how vital it is here. And to know about the homebrewed classes you'd first have to be familiar with the tabletop.

Half orc = brainlet race product of rape.

Half elf is different?

Half elves aren't brainlets. That is the difference

Half-Elves aren't strong. Half-Orcs are. What can Half-Elves do that can't be done by Humans OR Elves?

A lot more chaff than wheat since they stopped actually moderating. Honestly I come here mainly to laugh at the stereotypes and, occasionally, discuss games.

Half Orcs aren't intelligent. Half elves are. What can Half-Orcs do that can't be done by humans OR orcs?

Orcs and half orcs should be enslaved, or better. Killed and reanimated as undead slaves, so we don't need to waste food and water with then.

Finished it. The Steam counter says 47 hours. Although I'm going back for one side quest that I was locked out of having started the final chapter, so I think it'll get to 50 hours. I think at least main quest-wise, there's about the same amount of content post EA as there is in the EA portion, but there are many more side quests. Impressions later not to break the embargo - but to give you a hint, I rarely play any game beyond the first 15-20 hours.
One thing I noticed is that leveling seems to come at a very regular pace. Like, it takes about the same amount of hours to get from level 2 to level 3 as it takes to get from level 8 to level 9. Is this a 5e thing or a Solasta thing? Because I'm used to DnD leveling being fast for the first couple of levels, then slowing down to a crawl, so it felt very fast to me - but then I never actually reached level 10.

this means it will take me like 80 hours to play, sweet.

 

[holla_cabezas_de_mierda]

Darkvision is the reason I'll be always make inhumans in this game. Basically everyone has darkvision except for humans, and it's a huge dealbreaker. Most of the areas in the game are dark, and carrying torches is a pain in the ass.

what about just casting light spell on a couple of the front-line peoples weapons?

 

[Lacrymas]

Both verticality and lighting are negated by casting a single spell, so don't expect much from those.

 

[holla_cabezas_de_mierda]

Because it was not in 3.5

But it was.

Anything that i had played doesn't have a book page limit in.

Actually, Baldur's Gate 2 has a limit on how much spells you can scribe proportional to your char's INT. And your char needs a "roll" to learn from the scroll(obviously you can save scum). The unique way to have a spell learning guaranteed is by having 18 INT(85%) and learning a spell from your specialist school(+15%). Or 24/25 INT which is extremely hard to reach even with all magical items and potions.

Exactly like Solasta. One page per spell level.

The starting spellbook has 100 pages but we don't know if there is other spellbooks with 500+ pages.

in BG if there was a really important spell I want to be sure to learn, that is what I use the 'genius' potions for
