I enjoy the lone wolf scenario too, as you can see by my name. I always had a craving to find the things I need and keep socialization in the servers to a minimum, as I had trouble trusting others and couldn't really find a good reason to have a partner. Then as you progress alone, you start to realize that having a partner or people you can rely on is ever so important. For example, you cant give yourself a blood transfusion if you need one (Hopefully you can in SA), and this game being as depressing as it is, you really need someone to help you out. No matter how hard you try, the solo path will always go the same road and eventually become boring, even for the loneliest of bushes, and there comes a time we a friend is needed.
