However, stat rolling in multiplayer would be a fucking nightmare for everyone.
All problems you mentioned are solvable. And its not even hard.
First of all, when you play with some people, you (and now i mean whole group) should be able to agree on certain rules for that game ... if you all agree on not rolling stats, then dont roll stats > problem solved. Yes, anyone can roll stats and just not tell you ... i presume you will notice tho.
Tell me honestly, do you really wish to keep a person who dont give a shit about anything and do whatever he wants?
Rag, respectfully, How much multiplayer have you played?
Really getting 'the game works for how i like to play therefore it's good' vibes from you right now.
Again, I don't care what people do in single player. I don't think downloading a mod that already exists is too much to ask. Where if multiplayer needs to make a change we would all have to have that mod which would require a lot more work.
Look, the multiplayer folks are all on the same page on this - because they understand what a huge problem this would cause in regards to getting games going and the potential arguments. I would invite you to see for yourself.
I am curious how Commodore feels about this since he is planning to do multiplayer as well.(has done?)
