Ah, the man himself, firstly, I would like to sincerely thank you for this great game, secondly, I must remark on how quickly your response was, like lightning in fact, thirdly, I must remark that I was NOT expecting this conversation to go in this direction so easily, I was certain that the discussion would boil down into a heated discussion (read: argument) about the intricacies of intelligent game design and the role of the freedom of choice to the player in the grand scheme of things, I was certainly not expecting this. In any case, might I inquire as to how you intend to accomplish this, I mean, if it's not too much trouble, of course.

Hello, excuse me, but I was wondering if it would be possible for you to add the capability to solo-run this game. I mean, don't get me wrong, this game is exquisitely crafted and I am pleased to see how the various classes mesh together to create various different parties, each with their own strengths and weaknesses and so and so forth, but I feel that the experience is incomplete without the option to do a solo run. You understand, yes? It's one of those self-imposed challenges, taking a single character and trying to run through the game with him alone. I mean, looking at things from your point of view, I can see why you would impose a restriction to prevent the player from moving forward with a party, because you insist on immersing the player in the experience of constructing, equipping, and fleshing out their own party, battling with it, watching it grow to become truly formidable, and that is indeed admirable, but it also sacrifices the freedom of the player to accomplish. I personally, can see no harm in allowing the player to do a solo-run if they so choose, aside from the no-doubt imposing level of difficulty they will likely encounter, of course, but them's the breaks for a challenge of this nature. I mean, there IS a certain satisfaction for playing through a game using one and only one character alone. You could've brought backup, you could've heeded the words of the mayor, caved in and got some companions, but no, you didn't listen to them, you never quit, you didn't take the "easy way out", and just look at you now! So, whaddaya say?
