Alrik, I know your post was adressed to the original poster and not me. But what I was trying to say is: There could be a middle ground between RPG-lite multiplayer hackfeast and story driven hardcore singleplayer. It could have been so with :BE: : make it a single player game as it is, but where the DK is controllable by a RL buddy when available.
I know it is just wishfull thinking at this point, but one is allowed to dream...
