![]() Why did I miss that? How close was I? What that a Critical hit? This is all information I enjoy knowing immediately when playing D&D, and this now allows that same transparency and excitement. This won't be a feature that everyone cares as much about, but Tactical Adventures has done a lot in even the customization of these dice rolls. You can customize the appearance of the die down to what kind of damage they represent. You can have red dice represent fire damage, or green dice represent ice damage (if you're some kind of monster.). Unlike the Steam demo the content shown in the hourlong presentation was from the beginning of the game, including the party introduction/meeting, as well as segments from the first two story missions. Your party of adventurers will meet one another just like any good campaign does: in the Tavern. So as to not have your party destroying boxes or hunting rats at the start of the game, Tactical Adventures has intergrated Solasta's tutorial into the previous adventures of the party. Navigate the map at different levels to solve puzzles in secret chambers Each will recount their journey arriving to the city, and each will teach players key features of Solasta ,such as navigating in the dark or the focus on verticality. With this focus on verticality, on high bridges you're able to shove monsters off for high damage. I was also told that the enemies you fight also know how to push and shove. Stories of playtesters working their way through the game only to lose a character immediately to being too close to an edge is a scary thing to hear. The rules laid out in Solasta follow those in Dungeons and Dragons 5e, so make sure when using the verticality to gain the upper hand, that you also aren't putting yourself in a precarious position. While there isn't going to be a difficulty system in the Early Access game, the team at Tactical Adventures is looking at disengaging some systems like enemy shoving to scale the difficulty. So your party now knows each other a bit better (as do you), but what are they all doing here in the first place? Your characters were gathered because they've been hired by the city to investigate an outpost of soldiers that have stopped reporting in. This outpost is out near the Badlands where all kinds of creatures call home. This quest is what leads you to discovering that a race of creatures known as the Soraks have reappeared and are terrorizing the lands. Previously, the Soraks were believed to be only bogeyman-like monsters, stories told to children to get them in bed at night. The Soraks are the main enemy throughout Solasta's campaign. While dialog and investigation was very briefly touched upon in the Steam demo, at the outpost we were shown off a number of ways that stats and character backgrounds can affect the plot. It was explained that one of the dialog checks was possible, but with an incredible high DC like 30.Ī character with the Spy background was able to use a password, and those with high charisma might get special prompts. While the game is primarily about the numbers, there will also be situations where you need to read the room and pick an appropriate choice. The rationale behind an almost-impossible check is to make sure players aren't brute forcing their way through the game with one very high-stat character. You need to know the situation, relationships between characters, and pick the right options to fit the conversation.
