Solasta 2 character creator update means you can manipulate face-sliders until you're hot at last

Solasta 2 Character Creator Update: Finally, Customization That Feels Right

When Solasta 2 launched in early access, many players voiced their frustrations about the character creator. While it was a marked improvement over the first game’s bizarre, plasticine-style faces, it still left much to be desired. Creating a party of four distinct characters was a challenge, especially when it came to making them visually and vocally unique. Now, with the latest update, the character creation experience has undergone a major transformation.

A New Era of Customization in Solasta 2

The new update introduces a host of face-sliders that allow players to tweak features like nose bridge width and upper lip height with precision. This level of detail is a game-changer for those who want to craft characters that truly reflect their vision. Additionally, body morphing options let you fine-tune the musculature and physique of your party members, giving you more control over how your characters look and feel.

Voice customization is another standout feature. Players can now adjust voice pitch, which helps differentiate characters even with the current limited voice options. For those who prefer presets, the update doubles the number of available choices, offering more variety without the need for manual tweaking.

The developers have also hinted at future expansions for the character creator. More haircuts, tattoos, and other customization features are in the works. According to the roadmap, the Q3 update will bring multiplayer support, a new class, and additional world events. The Q4 update is set to introduce another class, two more ancestries, a crafting system, the beginning of Act Two, and a level cap increase to 6 — up from the current limit of 4.

A More Classic RPG Experience

Beyond character creation, Solasta 2 continues to impress with its deep exploration mechanics. Unlike the original game, which offered linear paths through the map, the sequel embraces a hex-crawl system once players reach a certain point in the story. This approach harks back to classic Dungeons & Dragons mechanics, setting it apart from other RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3 or Esoteric Ebb.

If you're looking to enhance your Solasta 2 experience, the new character creator is a must-try. With its improved tools and future updates on the horizon, the game is becoming more accessible and immersive for players who want to craft the perfect party.
