    Oh dang... I was just going to pirate it in like eight years. It's online? I have to play it now? I have to buy it??

        But if there's a social element to the game it's best to experience it as a part of a community, isn't it?

          It's not at all focused on multiplayer. Honestly, it's probably super difficult to sink into the story if you're playing with other people because there's a ton of dialogue and that's difficult if everyone's not moving at the same pace. Multiplayer is probably intended for people who really want to invest a lot of time playing with a specific person. Single player is the primary way the game works.

            Oh sorry I didn't explain myself well enough. I mean if there's a significant online component where a large part of the content is interactions with other players, it seems like there's a shelf life to getting the best experience from the game. So maybe it's worth having a legit copy instead of pirating some time down the road.

              You're not missing anything content-wise if you play it solo. In solo mode you control all 4 of your party members during their turns, and in the multiplayer mode you control some of your party and your friend(s) control the others. The game content is the same but the experience is very different since multiple players are generally less tactically coordinated than a single person and they can wander the map separately

      Honestly mate? Buy it. This isn't a AAA game; this is a AA game made completely independently, without microtransactions or lootboxes or any of the many bullshit practices of modern gaming. The studio deserves your support.

      It does have a multiplayer component, but it's co-op. The game can be played in its entirety either way, and indeed, the single player experience is fantastic. So's the multiplayer experience. The former is similar to Dragon Age Origins, and the latter is literally Dungeons and Dragons. Both are fantastic, and both are worth playing.

      Don't skip it. This is a deeply special game, and if you're sick of the AAA bullshit, a great way to show the greater industry is by supporting it. Vote with your wallet.
