I picked up quite a bit of D2E content last year with the intent of solo play. I have the core box and every box expansion. It hasn't panned out for me - nothing to do with D2E, I haven't solo'd any of the games I picked up for this purpose.Now, onto your advice.
I want to preface this by saying the odds of me ever getting the competitive version played are low - simply because my friends/family would rather coop the dungeon than compete (as much as I would like to compete) - so my questions rely sole on the packaged coop scenarios and Road to Legend.
Things which concerned me thus far in our coops, and please realize this are probably more mis-steps on my part (lack of research) rather than criticisms of the games design:
1) Not much long-term depth. The class decks don't have too many skills, so it seems like your character won't diversify much.
2) The Rise of the Goblins scenario is rather dull thus far, do the others get better?
3) The boxed coops don't appear to be repayable (Forgotten Souls, etc). Not really a big deal, since I paid an average of $12 for each.
4) I need to find a way to get all my content organized under "one roof", so I'm not opening multiple boxes during a scenario.
At any rate, there are loads of "RPG" games on my docket and coming in. I own Too Many Bones and Folklore, and I have Tainted Grail showing up next month. I just pledged for Aeon Tresspass and am considering Oathsworn. I realize how absurd this is about to sound, but I'm trying to streamline my collection. I don't want to have too many games in an genre, or they don't get played. Unfortunately, I am the collector in our group, so if I want to try them, I have to acquire them first.
So, what do you think? Should I purge this in favor of the others mentioned, or keep trying it?
