On a side note, you can click CTRL+click to force attack. Could easily turn the whole game into a PvP arena when the players like it. Confirmed when David was talking to Quill/Ohm's LP. I forgot which one.
That's not the same. You guys always think to much "from the nerdy or professional site"....
Tbh I doubt that many people will install much mods for D:OS after all, that's a simple fact. Many people just want to play (that's imo the biggest advantages of the consoles), they have no interest in searching for mods in forums, installing the manually, looking for patches every 5 days and stuff like that.
If you want to make a featuere which should attrack people and make your game "bigger" and "more appealing" simply by offering more game modes you have to do it in the vanilla version.
In the vanilla campaign mode only two people can play together meaningfully. That's too less, even if you can attack other players manually by ctrl+left-mouse.
A PvP arena is about fighting against other people or other "teams" in a controlled and defined environment. Especially for a turn-based game which uses such things like weather, environment, elements, line of sight, friendly-fire and so on, a game mode like that would be awesome for team tactics, not only against the AI like in the campaign but against other players. Such a game mode can offer real long-time-enjoyment out of the box after you finished the campaign even if you don't want or don't know how to install and use mods. And to be honest, I don't know any game on the market which offers a turn-based PvP mode which the combat features of D:OS so it would be a clear unique selling point (which is also true for the campaign due to its innovative conversation feature).
IMO it would be a complete lost opportunity to not make something like that for D:OS, at least in a patch/update later on if there is no time to include that from the beginning.
But please, Larian, think about it. A PvP mode out of the box could attrack even people who don't like RPGs in general or some of the "modern console game fanes" to buy the game. And we would all benefit from better sales......
