Is this game acceptable for single player action?

Uh, yes and no. Depends on how much you like to run and die! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Seriously, parts of it can be done alone, no problem, depending on your pc and how good he/she is. But there are a few places (like the dungeons of trollbark) that are just tough, even in a pair, as I found out the other day when my husband and I ventured in. [img]smile.gif[/img]

But it's lots of fun either way!

Yeah, about 86% of EfU can be enjoyed solo, and the others--I call 'elite dungeons' are for large groups. It encourages team play.

Team play is alot of fun and I really prefer to wander the place that way if I have a choice. But some days you just want to kick some kobolds or smash a skeleton or two and collect your xp and call it a night. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Heya there, Sir Degrader.

Thought I should mention there are many people whom for whatever reasons they have do the entire thing mostly by themselves. I am one of those people. One thing you will learn to love is the (current) lack of XP/gold loss when you respawn your character. I have no idea if Ziroc still plans to reimpliment it in this module, but until he does (IF he does) this module is defintely soloist friendly. I went through the module starting at level one, and I cannot count how many times my character has died - even now past level thirty. sooner or later though, unless you actively deny any and every request that comes in, you'll get a chance to work with a partner or group of people who just want to have more people in on a quest. That has happened to me quite a few times in recent weeks, and I have to admit it was great finally having backup for some places.
