Just a quick update. I've noticed even the fights take into consideration your internet connection. At 5000ms a goblin can take 3 minutes to actually "Get into position". Multiply this by 10-15 goblins and you're looking at 30-45 minutes for one turn and God knows how long for an entire fight. I've disabled cross save, LAN and direct connections and ensured no one can join. Is there no way to play an offline single player game? I think the game is amazing and certainly does some justice to Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 but these were both primarily single player games. It's an enriching story and a single player experience would be nice. There needs to be a means to play this game solely single player as some internet connections cannot handle the way you're designing the multiplayer. Other online games have most things driven client sided (hard-drive) while the server retrieves minor packets indicating movements and positions. There must be a more efficient way to do this if you're going to take this route.
