Just chiming in real quick. I realize opinions abound but I wanted to state very clearly (as someone who has finished this game nearly 100 times) my thoughts on Lonewolf(LW).
1. LW was nerfed in that you cannot max/min as much as before but you still get as many points.
2. LW is still BY FAR by many orders of magnitude easier to beat the game with on Tact/Hon than a 4 man.
3. LW is still overpowered to an extent that makes it an "easy mode" equivalent choice.
-------------------------------
THAT BEING SAID (Put down your pitchforks) - there is nothing WRONG with having choices like lonewolf and easy modes in games. As has been mentioned many times by many people - not everyone wants to max/min the strategic elements of this game. Sometimes they want to enjoy the story with a splash of combat that moves along the story rather than be complex warfare.
Now my personal and unpopular opinion is that further reduction to Lonewolf power would make for a more interesting experience and preserve balance - as it stands it feels like cheating and my group of friends that play have banned it once again (after trying it in a few campaigns in DE).
