Why not let a single player try competitive questing?
Because it's impossible to play multiple characters at the same time, race against yourself or sabotage yourself. You can choose which quest path to follow when the avatar's quest conflicts with a companion.
I mean...was this not something people expected? It makes about as much sense as if someone wanted to play chess against themselves. You don't really get even remotely the same effect as with multiple people. So how is it that no one just assumed this was the answer here? There are just some things that really aren't practical with only one human playing.
I for one happen to know that while I may not get a chance to play the GM mode as much as I'd like, as a huge fan of tabletop RPGs I'll have a ton of fun with it. Sure, I'll mostly be playing single player, not even co-op, but additional features are a good thing.
Also let me assure the doubters, at least the alpha version's single player is pretty awesome. I have it on GOG.
