I really want to see the option to have a 6 person party. Whether it is default, or if it is a setting in "casual" or "easy" difficulty setting, I don't care. But I want it available. Why? Because as brought up, D&D assumes that you have a party consisting of roles like: Defender (a melee warrior such as fighter), Controller (somebody with AoE spells or abilities such as wizard), Leader (a healer or buffer such as cleric), and Striker (somebody who is tactical and dishes out DPS such as rogue).
Generally if you don't have people dedicated to these four roles, you are going to have a hard time in D&D. If I am going to be "forced" to fill each of these slots, I would like to have 2 slots that I can fill "for fun" as opposed to "necessity".
