I'm waiting for the BaldursGate3 update but until then I grabbed solasta. Also DnD based and more chill than BG3 but very fun. I love that you can design and play a whole party instead of just the "main char" like BG3.

I'm itching so bad for the BG3 update. It's been one of those games where I'm in the shower and a new multiclass build pops in my head and next thing I know I'm reinstalling it. And now I get a bunch of new toys!

My least favourite character is Wyll so in my next run he will be my avatar. What multiclass do you recommend with Warlock? I (ofc) already did paladin and sorcerer.

[–] Ashtear@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

I actually don't have one with Warlock as the main class! I love debuffs/CC, and trying to get my spell DC as high as possible means staying in the class (and short rest spell slots).

Whenever I multi Warlock it tends to be in martial builds, getting the extra attack with Pact of the Blade, or a quick dip into it for Mortal Reminder. I have a crit build I do this with.

Have you ever played Divinity Original Sin II? How would you compare it to Solasta?

[–] FreeBeard@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 days ago

I played and enjoyed both. They feel very different. Divinity was built without the pen and paper foundation and solasta is very true to DnD 5e. While 5e is nice for roleplay where in theory everything is possible, it lacks in a videogame setting. I don't go into detail here but in all DOS2 feels more like a complete game that isn't hold back by sticking to a rulebook that was designed for something else.

As already mentioned, DOS2 also has premade Characters on with the story builds. Solasta focuses on 'White Canvas' characters which I like.
