* ObviousBeta: Sadly, the main campaign loses its quality after the first gemstone quest, and there are only four gemstone quests instead of eight. [[ChristmasRushed Possibly due to time constraints]]. The newly announced "Palace of Ice" DLC will rectify this.

* ThatOneLevel: [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon The Palace of Ice]] is one scrappy dungeon. You're permanently afflicted with penalties to your saving throws, action bonus, armor class and movement speed. You can't leave the place until you finish the game and [[MarathonLevel long resting isn't allowed]]. On top of that, you have to fight the FinalBoss three times which happen to be [[ThatOneBoss a very annoying and unfair boss]]. That third time is with [[DualBoss his little friend]] who happens to be another [[ThatOneBoss frustrating boss]].

* {{Narm}}: Wearing a plate armor makes you look cool as it comes with a cool looking helm. However, depending on your character's 3D model, the nose guard of the helm can hide a portion of your eyes, making you look like you're suffering from a severe case of strabismus.

** Most Soraks falls under this. They can cling to walls, become invisible, heal in the dark, are immune to poison and several crowd control effects. On the offense, they can cast spells, detect invisibility, snuff-out all light sources, deal poison or necrotic damage and attack many times per round. They also come in large numbers.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: In ''Palace of Ice'', Captain Ashenwood wants you to overthrow General Blunt who stubbornly refuses to see the Sorak/Demon threat as more urgent than the war with Gallivan. Does Ashenwood genuinely believes that the Sorak/Demon threat is real and take priority over the war with Gallivan? Or was Ashenwood saw this as an excuse to overthrow General Blunt and take her place?

** There's also parallels between it and the ''VideoGame/IcewindDale'' duology, especially with the recent release of ''[[VideoGame/BaldursGateIII Baldur's Gate III]]''. Like the ''Icewind Dale'' games, and unlike the ''Baldur's Gate'' games, Solasta lets you create your entire party by hand, rather than having various companions you can recruit. With them, you follow a scripted storyline that casts your party as eager young adventurers who end up saving the world by [[spoiler:sealing a portal to another dimension that the antagonists opened.]] The main difference is that in one, [[spoiler:the portal lets demons in,]] while in the other, [[spoiler:it lets [[LizardFolk the Soraks]] in instead.]]

* ThatOneSidequest: Saving Reya from city guards isn't a difficult task. However, if your initiative rolls are bad compared to the guards, then Reya risk of receiving tons of damage making it impossible to save her in time. If she's knocked down, you might as well reload your game.

** The Swift Blade ranger's subclass is very broken. The ''battle focus'' ability allows him to increase damage as a free action. Combine it with Hunter's mark debuff as a bonus attack for further damage increase. Most rangers fight with [[DualWielding two weapons]] meaning you can give a devastating beating to anyone.

The only consolation is that you can do the same to them, and that they sometimes waste their precious counterspells on your unlimited cantrips.
