Some things stop me though..
1. You need an xbox/microsoft account to play multiplayer.
2. Connection bugs cause loss of stuff due to having to connect through microsoft.
3. Game is more balanced around multiplayer. Single player would have a rough time of it in combat and grind.
4. Due to balance for multiplayer and connection issues with microsoft I don't see having a good time if solo is unbalanced and multiplayer has bugs.

I have over 160hrs solo, it's not that bad. Planning/strategy just like Valheim for most part.
