Is Baldurs Gate going to be multiplayer?
Yes. The multiplayer and single-player games are actually based on the exact same story. The whole point of all of this is that we want to capture the feel of the old AD&D adventures, where you entered a campaign world with friends and adventured! The multiplayer game that we are creating is a simulation of the old AD&D sessions of our youth. People can “join” the adventuring party (up to six people per game) by taking over one of the NPCs and if they have to go for supper the party can either stop or continue (with an NPC AI back in the character). We are not creating a “story-less” multiplayer game, we are creating a complex story-based RPG that can be played either single player or multiplayer.
