There's a jump between your first paragraph and the second. In the first one you said you wanted to play with your friends. But in the second you got the worst of Internet boys.

I also wanted to play Morrowind with my friends. We got Elder Scrolls Online but that's a monkey's paw wish. I wanted drop in multiplayer and an experience more like left 4 dead. I don't want randoms. I want my friends. I don't want a big always online persistent world. I want the single player world, but with my friends.

If I keep going I'm just going to reinvent Baldur's Gate 3 multiplayer. That's basically what I wanted back when. Not the MMO shit.

Hell, even the dark souls "summon a friend in" is like 70% of what I wanted.
