However, an especially tricky mechanic is concentration. I'm assuming a Lone Wolf Solo character probably won't be able to concentrate on two spells at once, whereas a party of 4 could have up to 4 concentration spells going on at once. Or hey, maybe that'd be an appropriate and very interesting mechanical change by Larian - double concentration? At the very least, the novelty would attract players to at least try a lone wolf playthrough = game replayability.
Yes, that's a good point, double concentration would be a very welcome addition in that case. And not only in combat encounters, buffing characters for social encounters is important too. Which also makes me think that Lone Wolf should probably grant you some extra skill proficiencies.

Unless Larian simply buffed all saving throws by ~+5 (roughly giving you 50% more chance to succeed) I can foresee this being a big problem...
Agreed, that one is tricky, because on the one hand the players shouldn't feel immune to CC, but on the other hand getting CCed when you only have 1 or 2 characters can be quite deadly. I don't know if a flat buff will be the best option here. What do you think about advantage on saving throws after the first round of being CCed?
