The statement came from studio head Feargus Urquhart. He explains that the effort to include multiplayer in the game was to interest potential publishers.

I kept at it for a long time.Urquhart said, before adding:When you ask for 50, 60, 70, 80 million, you need something interesting to talk about, and make this multiplayer interesting.“.

Urquhart also revealed that insisting on team play was “the wrong decision”. Next, Obsidian’s head of development, Justin Britsch, explains all the difficulties the team faced when trying to add collaborative features.
