8. Pawns are a great help in the earlier levels, however their usefulness fades beyond a certain level (primarily influenced by player knowledge of each enemy type and how to approach them), and nothing beats playing directly with a friend instead of their pawn. I understand the technical changes for such a thing are likely far beyond the scope of any DLC for the current title, but what can you tell us about the possibility of seeing full cooperative multiplayer in the sequel? Even if only in the post-game; the Everfall seems to be a place where past generations of Arisen converge, and possibly a place where the infinite worlds might intersect. -- Anon
