Okay, maybe I'm overreacting.There was still a fair bit of climbing and jumping in it.Played the demo. I'm kind of worried.
Vertical levels are gone? It was one of the selling points.
And what's up with all that snazzy cinematic presentation? Nobody plays Solasta for this crap.
The entrance of the generic evil witch will never be as exciting, as the first time you see a Sorak priest using Flight.
Are all your opinions retarded or just the ones you share in D&D adjacent RPG threads?
Bro, it is probably the most revolutionary feature of the last decade (maybe two). It may not have been utilized as much as it could (and should) have been, but that's not the same thing as "not adding much".
It just forced me to equip ranged weapons on all the characters that lacked ranged options in their second slots (something I typically do anyway), I never had to think about it past that. I guess people are seeing stuff I'm not.
Verticality is a novel way to simulate the battlefield and it's actually astonishing that this kind of gameplay wasn't part of 3D party-based games long before Solasta. You had Half-Life 2 playing heavily into being a 3D game, but 99% of cRPGs didn't bother with implementing the physicality of combat before then (outside of some odd games, like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic employing physics of objects).
