With respect to The Composer, I hope you don't mind me quoting you.

Thank you, this is exactly what im talking about. Divinity was a huge disappointment to me, because I felt it lost the D&D feeling without the character import/export. I am just very nervous they are going to continue that awful forced narrative in multiplayer by making your friends be an NPC. There is no investment there. I dont want to be the annoying vampire, or the grumpy elf and gith. I dont like the lame Warlock or the magic item eating Mage. I just want to make my own Party, use MY characters in games with friends, maybe they are stuck or an item I acquired would help them. Again this is D&D, lets make it feel like that community and allow us to use the characters we invest in.


I know there are advocates for this both in Larian and outside of Larian so its on the Radar, but my expectation is we likely won't see it until after full release. However the idea of making it a Platform means that Larian can continue to build and sell separate Campaign DLC for the platform, so WoTC wins, Larian wins and the players win. There are - conservative estimate - 40 Million D&D players worldwide so the market for this is considerable.
