BmoEp

Well, consoles are also mentioned in the same context.

no, I'm implying that he's talking about mmo-style multiplayer. So maybe it's a way around the question and they'll add co-op as a post-ship addition

But right, issue is closed

I know, I've read that many times. I'm just not convinced he's talking about the same multiplayer that's the issue here.

Doing a kickstarter for this project seems underhanded anyways. Basically WE are the loan, risk free, for this project. We are funding a corporation which is feeding on our desparation for a great game.

Sorry Aedrelic, I don't mean to disrespect your vote, I meant that the inclusion of multiplayer co-op should not interfere with your single player experience, much like Baldur's Gate, so it's addition would be "irrelevant" to your experience. If it DOES interfere, by all means it should NOT be included. But I have a hard time believing the addition of a relatively simple style of co-op would interfere or be that hard and expensive to implement, as Hypevosa said. There must be something else that's holding Obsidian back- maybe security issues?

Well, then put up an obscene goal for multiplayer and see what happens. Their decision lost my pledge and respect. Ignoring a desire that would elate 41% of your gamers and be irrelevant to the other 59% shows me that this project is going to be a rushed gimmick. Until I see that they've changed their minds, I won't pledge a dime to this project.
