The commentary aspect of the game, if it is introduced, could be a solo experience too. It would be akin to watching TV. (Many people are turning away from TV these days, for many reasons.) Streaming is popular enough for Larian to build support for it into the game. I think that commentary needs to be included with that.

Think about why some people would point their browser at a BGIII stream. It is "the same story", so why would they repeatedly watch BGIII streams? What would the audience be getting from it? How would the views help BGIII itself?


It wouldn't help IMHO. I have watched twitch ruin 5e campaigns because players stop having fun and try to script for the audience.


It must have been very disappointing to see that happen. It is a good reason to have the "6th player", the "Commentator", who could leave the players to focus on their game play. If the commentator had the ability to intermittently hide their audio from the players, that could be useful.
