D&D 5e Is Fully Represented In Solasta 2, For Better And Worse
In my brief playtime with Solasta II, I noticed that it follows the rules of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) 5th edition more faithfully compared to games like Baldur’s Gate 3. Unlike Baldur’s Gate 3, where you can drink a health potion and make a melee attack on the same turn due to the rule change allowing healing potions as bonus actions, Solasta II maintains the traditional rule that considers drinking a health potion an action, requiring you to choose between attacking or healing on separate turns. This adherence to D&D 5e rules is evident throughout Solasta II, and while it ensures accuracy, it does underscore some limitations in D&D 5e that games like Baldur’s Gate 3 have already addressed by altering their gameplay mechanics.
