Multiplayer:
Seriously though, if you don't want it, I respect that you don't want it.
It might not be your decision, it may be down to bandwidth and online access.
It may break immersion for you to be running around with 'ButtBreath6969' next to you.
I don't think you should have to do it and it should not affect your ability to experience the whole game untouched
There.
I don't think it is reasonable to expect single player and multiplayer game code which may use common assets and common files to have be separated on physical or digital media, that's not a reasonable expectation and to do it would be more complex and cost more.
We've addressed the funding issue, arguments or not, as there is much to support the idea that multiplayers are separately funded and where they happen they are planned in from the start.
If multiplayer is a lame derivative griefer-filled experience then I won't be playing it either.
But the prospect of multiplayer that complements the story and involves me playing - as part of the wider story - with others rather than just me or AI characters is very appealing.
I guess we will have to wait and see - we don't really know either way do we.
Or we could fill another 50 pages of 'I hate it' - 'I love it',,,
EDIT
I have seen a Romance DLC request thread by the way
