can you?

How is this at all relevant to someone lacking basic knowledge of self-sustain? Sorcs can solo WBs, Magblades can solo WBs, Templars can solo WBs, DKs can solo WBs. I solo WBs on my healer setup, it's so simple as long as you don't play stupid. Normal dungeons are a fkin joke if they aren't DLC. My crappy stamblade could breeze through all of them solo.

If you have some garbage build or zero knowledge of attack patterns, then sure you're gonna suffer when you don't get to faceroll like all the basic quests let you do, but that's cause you need to learn how to play the game properly.

Well it seems that this is a mmorpg (massively multiplayer online role-playing).

And their main punchline was "Play how you want"

And you can. I sometimes chase butterflies and do screen shots of the sunset. Other times I shoot monkeys just to watch them do that ballet move before they die.

you've slightly missed the point - the real question is: if my goal was to fail, and i failed, did i succeed?

Yeah haha! Why complain about that. Go play Pokemon Gold! That's single player as you like.

You're in the minority.

Not so sure that poll shows what you think it shows. It asked if people played the game solo. It didn't say exclusively solo or mostly solo. Just solo. So technically if you spend some time running around harvesting or mining you played solo. Wasn't a well worded poll.

That aside these forums represent a very small amount of players in the game and most likely do not give a fair representation.

208 out of 295 people voted "Yes, and I enjoy it!" to the question "Anyone else play this game *sort of* like a single player (so far)?" Take what you will

New players will typical want to quest and exploring a lot.
For other its kind of depend, many like it, other do it on slow times or then they want to relax.
Did all the morrowind quests explored every locations.
Then I had to much to do so just did random normals to burn enlightenment. Started to get some good sets and it was fun, So I continued to do vet dungeons.
So much to do, so little time

yes your right there... it WAS

that option pretty much went out the window when the got rid of damage caps effectivley killing hybrid build & diversity

Why are we complaining that a multiplayer game is multiplayer?

We're not. The complaint is about group-play development being favoured over solo-play.
The game is multiplayer; many people playing singly is still 'multiplayer'.

I think the OP is in craglorn and attempting to do lower craglorn, where the quests take you into the Group Area's. As long as you have a halfway decent build, even these are soloable.

OP - It's only craglorn that does this. Go to thieves guild (Hews Bane) and Dark Brotherhood (Gold Coast) and apart from the WB's, having anyone grouped with you is at best an inconvenience. Most content in those areas is is best done solo. Same also applies to Wrothgar, again barring the WB's.
