Why No Multiplayer or Coop????
Please an P&P Game has to have a Multiplayer or a Coop modus. More People more fun.

Thank you for your answer. I really hope that if your game gonna be succesfull later you will think about an multiplayer in style of Baldurs Gate. Take your time and just add it maybe later when you are finished with the main game. A Coop Multiplayer Campaign has the advantage, that more people gonna buy the game, because they want to play with their friends in coop. Make P&P great again :) !
Best wishes

I hope that the game sells so good that they will make another Pathfinder Adaption after that. For example "Rise of the Runelords", "The Curse of the Crimson Throne", or any of the other Peals out there. Those games could reuse the implemented rulesets, classes, etc. and wouldn't need the whole "Kingmaker Stuff". That could free up ressources to implement Multiplayer, more Feats, Classes and Archetypes.
I for example really miss myself the "Undead Lord" Archetype of the Cleric...

Not every game needs to be multiplayer. I am so freaking tired of people trying to force multiplayer into everything rather than just letting devs focus their resources on making a really high quality single player focused experience.

would you say Baldurs Gate 1 & 2 are bad games because they have multiplayer ?

No and I never said multiplayer would make it bad, but that doesn't mean the feature should be forced into every CRPG to ever exist. Some games are single player focused and should be allowed to just be single player focused without the devs needing to divide their time and resources shoving in unnecessary features.

Except that still requires a lot of dev time and investment. It's never just flip a switch for multiplayer and suddenly it just works.

Not every game needs multiplayer. If you want multiplayer then go play one of the games that has and is designed for multiplayer rather than trying to force it into a game that is intended to be single player focused.

Good then go play one of those. This isn't that and it shouldn't have multiplayer forced into it just because that's what you like. If you like steak you don't force the burger joint to make you a steak. You go to a restaraunt that serves steak and order it there.

Je trouve cela vraiment dommage depuis longtemps je recherche un bon jeux comme cela mais il n'y a pas de multijoueur / coop, comme ce faire du fun avec un jeux qu'on incarne un personnage pour jouer en équipe mais seul .. bizzard votre trucs.
