Why we can't pick any character in solo mode?

[Yoghurt shot]

I'm getting characters I don't want to play, then I can't instantly quit and I have to load the game again, and again, and over again.

I need to restart game 5 times ti pick a character I want. In solo mode. This is wrong.

Currently this game plays stricktly by the boardgame rules (apart from a few bugs), so thats why you can only select between two

This is good for multiplayer, but for solo weird. Just sharing my thoughts. Thank you for the reply.

I agree with the author. For solo, you should be able to click an option that allows you to select your own players, rather than play by the multiplayer rules.

Honestly it's one of the things that annoyed me as well and caused me to refund, when I run a game solo or duo. I let people pick unless there are two people that want the same character. Though this version removes any player freedom.

It was a really odd design choice as it would be obvious that removing all player freedom from the game would make less people interested in playing it. Home rules are a staple of any board game or TTRPG.

Yep, they're even missing the what I'd call superior way to play, the full co-op mode that isn't even a home rule it's just an optional way to play.

Funny enough, you'd think games would be more challenging when PVP is involved, but with the Full Co-Op mode you can't repick your objectives and have to complete all of them to win. In the PVP mode for example you can easily win by doing nothing pretty much if your objective is for someone to die. So the co-op mode is actually more challenging.

Fairly certain most people who play the Board game don't do the draft stuff as they just want to pick who they want to play so it's also a silly design choice to not have it optional.

I hear ya, it's why video games are nice but so often inferior due to the limitations. I won't get the game so long as there is no ability to choose characters or have some control over the game.

I believe Talisman solved this by having a toggle in Settings to choose from:
1-Player choice
2-Player choice from a random few
3-Random character
