Piranha Bytes - Facts and Information about the new Project @ World of Risen

Can't disagree more.
IMO they need to leave solo/duo model and go Mass Effect party of three style. Leave soloing for Dark Souls clones please.

I agree with JD. I prefer the solo character and solo adventuring.

I'm on Joxer's side here. Having party mambers traveling and fighting with you very much increases fun for me.

I don't really mind optional party members, but I can't say they've been handled well by PB in the past.

Considering how many resources it takes to develop proper characters and party AI, I agree with JDR that they should focus on what they're really good at.

I've never really played PB games for the characters. It was always the world, exploration and immersion. Gothic and Gothic 2 also had just about the perfect difficulty curve - so I'd like to see a return to that kind of balance.
