Mainly Multiplayer?

I have read that this game will be geared at multiplayer. I will be very disappointed if the single player gaming aspects suffer as a result of this. I personally never play these types of games in a multiplayer atmosphere.

Well the aim is to be a single part as well and the adventure with the game will be calculated a 60 hours long experience.. And you will be able to share adventures both for single and multiplayer experiences. The game will however only let you control one character, even in single player.

I think that even though I will probably not play as much online as I wish too, I think the game looks to be a great game for singleplay as well. And well, there are a couple of good guys around here on IW that can share their little adventures and let us explore more dungeouns, cities and so on! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Is that to say I will only make the main character as in Baulder's Gate or is it that even when NPC's join my party I will have no control over thier actions?

Some characters will join you, and you'll be able to hire merc's as well i think. Though you'll never control them direcly.(unless you transfer control of your own char to the computer, and that only works with summoned creatures)

The GM interface and being only able to control 1 char *could* mean there will be some actual roleplaying in multiplayer... can't say i feel ad about that...

While i do agree with this, my main concern was in the single player mode.

You better get used to the feeling of beeing alone.. There will be servers where player vs player will be allowed!
