Well, for me it is kinda suck. I do not like and do not play strategies of any kind, and a combination of so many genres reminds me a Frankenstein monster. I do not fancy moving units and giving them orders, I wan to fly like in D2 and burn the bastards myself! Plus this multiplayer craziness again. What on Earth is happening with normal European single-player RPGs??? So no, no Dragon Commander for me. I hope this game will be just a filler between real RPGs like Beyond Divinity was, and I at least can expect a real RPG in the future. Do not go all strategy/multiplayer on us, Larian! It would be so freaking sad!
On the other hand such a hybrid opens up more possible roles to play. Specifically it opens up the possiblity of playing a leader, which could be quite intersting and different from the experience other RPGs can provide.
As to MP, I am sure Larian would never include MP at the cost of lessening the SP experience. For this game, you have to have MP to make a real game about war; otherwise, it is just a very slow and very large puzzle game.
