GM mode is also a SINGLE PLAYER feature. I know what you might be thinking "But Neonivek that is wrong, GM mode lets you play with other players" but not so fast!
You actually are wrong, and that's the Reason why i fear, there will be an huge Backlash from People who still don't seem to understand what an "GM" Mode is. If you look at the Steam-Forum there seem quite some People to believe that GM Mode is an Lite-Editor to make Singleplayer Campaigns, which is, if we go by that what us 've shown, isn't possible. You can't script anything, you can't make indepth custom changes. It isn't an EDITOR - it is an TOOLSET for GM's to allow Pen & Paper Roleplaying Style with proper tools.
I won't argue that there will not an Editor for such things, because as far as i remember they already stated that there will be an Editor(but didn't announced yet what you can do with that tool) - but i'm sure it will allow proper Mods, Campaign and such for Singleplayer, like the Editor from the first one. But this Editor HAVE absolutely nothing to do with the GM Mode, except you can create Maps and such in Editor which you can import in the GM Mode...

And, what now?
I mean, Larian can correct me if i'm wrong, but since Original Sin they delievered an clear Statement about the OS Series. It have an HUGE Focus on Multiplayer if not even their primarily Aim and they want to deliever an traditional Pen & Paper experience. Now with the GM Mode they've gone so far to even do it on an Proper way, where the classical cRPG Approach is way to limited.
So yeah - for Singleplayer it might be an huge "**** You", then again, why not? There are so many (c)RPGs out there anyway which focus on Singleplayer or don't even have an Multiplayer, why can't you simply let one certain amazing RPG be primarily focused on Multiplayer. I mean heck, you can play the Campaign complete Solo, you also can fight Arena vs Bots Solo, and i'm sure the Editor will alow more Content for Solo-Players as well. GM-Mode hower is focused MP, because it makes much more Sense anyway and what you refer with - have absolutely nothing to do with GM Mode - would be more like an Sandbox Mode approach or something like that.
