I like you ask all these things :) i feel excited again ..Ok..Ok, so the "evil" player is optional? Yes is optional.
How much will the game lose without the evil player? We played this game...wow i don't remember how many times the last months. Most of the player liked the dark player idea. I think the games will not lose something even without the dark player because its system is quite good and you still can make it a bit harder if you use stronger Bosses in combination with the Black Fortress. If you choose the Dark player is better i think because the rest of the players really play together, you know, you see the other player and discuss, try to find solutions, 2 players go in the same area and with their combines powers try to kill the Fort. On the other hand still without a dark player the game remains very good too. i remember time where 2/4 realms where full of creatures and 2 bosses were out and we had not all the artifacts and we tried to work together to defeat them :) that was fun too. i think both models are real great.
Are you intending the evil player to be used and the game won't work well otherwise?
No, no. Don't take this way. We just understood that with this "joker" player the games becomes like a real adventure. But i can ensure you that the game works perfect even without him
Do you need the evil player for the advanced rules?
Here is one of the great elements this game has. You can include him if you want. If you do that, it will be just harder to defeat the game. The way you play doesn't change, what changes is that all of you have to run and kill fast cause the time is against you.
I really want to play this as a pure co-op game where all the players are on the same side. Have you improved the situations from the base game where:
A) You have to wait several times through the deck?
Meaning? Give me an example.
B) A character simply doesn't have the skills needed and needs to sit around waiting for something to come up that they can use to get those skills
Ok. i get your point here but please tell me who are they?
