I tried to play it with someone I was dating. She spent like an hour in the character creation menu. Had a lot of fun making her ranger look interesting. But as soon as we got to the actual gameplay, she checked out. I think we got to the druids and she was done.
Turn based I think is kind of double edged. There’s a lot of waiting, that’s bad. But you also don’t get overwhelmed when you’re trying to figure out how to move the camera or whatever.
DND 5e is a shallow system that you have to go out of your way to make a weak character. That helps. But it also makes it kind of boring for people looking for more depth.
Played through it with my partner, 10/10 great couples activity.
It’s a great story rich game solo, but the multiplayer is where it really shines when you want that sweet dopamine.
