Wait is this actually single player?

[Underprivileged White Male]

Was looking forward to playing, but I honestly don't see a reason to play D&D solo. :x
Pretty much exclusively game with friends. Have so since... you know the internet was invented.

[Dr Duh]

Yes, you control a 4-character party.

[Underprivileged White Male]

Ahhh dang. Never mind then. I never play solo stuff.

plenty of MP trash out there you know.. Since the you know.. Internet was invented.. Try searching for them if you know how to.... Glad devs broke away from the NORM! I'll be buying this for sure!

My friends and I like to play these types of games together. Sad that this game is single player only. However, I am excited for this game and will still play it single player. (Though multiplayer would be awesome XD)

You don't have friends do you.

That is the very reason why of my 4 friends tight group of players, I am the only one to own it. The others do not see the interest of going through solo.

I play D&D tabletop with friends. Rather do that then play a game together online.
When friends don't play TT with me I will be playing this.

Single-player is a lot simpler technically to develop and eliminate game-stopper bugs and meet a release deadline. OTOH, adding in multiplayer is a lot more work than developing it that way from the start.

I'd say you've got two audiences: those with tabletop 5e experience, and those without, but that have a lot of computer gaming experience (mainly crpg). If you aim for the former, you can please them with a faithful 5e single-player experience, although longevity will require more content - additional campaigns, and ultimately good modding tools for player-generated campaigns. TT players would like to have multiplayer as an option, but I question how many additional sales to this group would be holding out for MP.

The other group (without tabletop 5e experience) is more problematic, because if you listen to them, you'll be pressured to make the gameplay faster. This will mainly be by drastically reducing or eliminating misses in combat, although you will get some calls for simultaneous turns, or even real-time combat as well. You will ultimately be turning the game into just another crpg with no faithfulness to 5e and little or no special attraction to tabletop players. Plus you will find your players consuming content like locusts and declaring the game to be a dead desert if you fail to feed them fast enough.

don't see the the point of having multiplayer when you control four characters. Last thing anyone wants in a game is underprivileged white male in multiplayer

There's never been any successful single-player DnD RPGs made for PC. Ever.

Underprivileged indeed.

Often in error, but never in doubt!

The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ point is this topic. Do you go on every single player game forum and ♥♥♥♥♥ about it not having multiplayer?

[Grumpy Old Dude]

Yet everyone gives them the attention they so desperately crave anyway

Silver Blades, Eye of the Beholder, gee, the entire series of DnD games back in the day of the 8088 CpU when we used 5 1/4" 260k floppies and it took 6 to load a game. Those were ALL single player.


ever...HA!
