Well... ~93% of content is soloable (including the main storyline) and I'd argue game's more enjoyable that way.
As long as you're fine without some lore from dungeons/raids (in-game collectibles - you can still read it on wiki and shit) - multi is optional.
I thought the main gripe with the game was that it's an MMO, but not because it's "multiplayer" - only that it has crappy MMO combat.

Game has horrible combat, the engine is horrible and probably one of the worse engines ever developed for an mmorpg, most modern computers even the ones far surpassing the recommended specs will struggle with this piece of shit.
My 6 year old can play it with sliders at 3/4 (4 doesn't add much except a bit longer view and some bonus lighting) - doesn't die even on world boss fights. I don't spazz out when framedrops goes below 30 though.
If only you could try the game for free for let's say... 10 days to see if it plays well on your PC....

I've played it though tokyo and the performance has been consistently bad, for such mediocre visuals.
I don't notice a drop in performance in Tokyo. Art-wise it has a more sterile look, don't know if by design or by not polishing it enough (c wat i did there).My 6 year old can play it with sliders at 3/4 (4 doesn't add much except a bit longer view and some bonus lighting) - doesn't die even on world boss fights.

Yes it is a great deal. Bought the game so I can have it on Steam, although I bought it already from the developer years ago.

I'm really enjoying this game. It really does appear to be "soloable", but finding a group every now and again would be nice. The story is where it is at. I like finding out how to solve the quests too.
I've never been a big MMO fan since I was burned by Vanguard, missed out on WoW's prime, and missed the City of Heroes train by a few years, but this one might keep my interest until it crashes and burns suddenly.

it kept my interest high until i reached tokyo, the very last map, where grouping is mandatory.
Surely you mean The Manufactory and not all content?

when you reach tokyo you have shit equipment and no shield. to get a shield you have to go where you don't know to do something you are not prepared to do and without some mandatory equipment like a frigging shield.
in tokyo grouping is mandatory.

Shit equipment? Since at least 2015 you can get to 10.9.5 without ever doing any group content.
No shield? Pretty sure you don't need the shield in the beginning, just the controllers (which you get from a quest).
And it's hard in the beginning, it's something to challenge advanced players (at least for a while) - but grouping is not mandatory.
I soloed Tokyo until I got to 1.9 - way before token streamlining, when you had to do Tokyo quests to get Tokyo gear. I started grouping for Penthouse to get 2.0 upgrades, but now you can just buy everything with tokens gained doing some mundane stuff

Tokyo is shit, the game in general takes a nose dive in terms of quality content, half way through Transylvania.

So got this through the humble bundle. I heard ARPG quests are good but combat is bad. Is there any codex presence in the game?
Best quests ever, combat is standard MMO crap. I'm taking a break now since not much is happening.
Waiting for a video review.

Can you romance anyone in this game?

Depends on your tolerance, combat is standard MMO crap with awful animations to boot but the game world is quite engaging, there are really high points but keep in mind, are you a guy that get frustrated easily at puzzles? Do you like the idea of googling outside the game for obscure references? Can you tolerate backtracking? Can you tolerate simplistic gameplay?
There are really, really awesome moments, Solomon Island, the first area, in particular, but there will be ALOT of bullshit to try out your patience. I fucking love some brillant ideas this game has, as you already has it, recommend you to play all Solomon Island content and by the time you reach Egypt or you will be in loved with the game or uther bored by it, I gave up three times before reaching Transylvania. The combat is indeed all the bad people are talking about, especially bad in comparison with new MMOs that are implementing more actiony combat systems

You receive a blowjob from a highly suspicious lady at the start of the game, does that count as romance?
