The thing is BG1 was also optimized for a single player experience. Only the 1st player was the Bhaalspawn and everyone else was a support character on that main quest when you played multiplayer.
Its a stylistic difference that I've never had a problem with as long as you know what you are getting into.
Yep, thats fair enough. The differences in power between the MC and their followers is far more that in Baldurs Gate however - with lots of extra feats and powers above and beyond what the other players would receive. Maybe Owlcat will consider making a SP+MP pathfinder game if WotR is successful, though it is a considerable investment for a small studio to offer MP.
