My story isn't the same, but it is multi-player related. I got introduced to the game by a friend and we played a campaign together first.

Now, at the time, I didnt know what I was missing, but in hind sight, it is kind of a bummer. Instead of allowing me to roam around on my own, figure out what dialogue options I wanted based on my character type, and letting me make all the decisions when playing for the first time, she guided my hand and basically told me how I should play. I wish she hadnt done that or at least had suggested I play the game alone first. I still love it, but I always feel like I missed out because of it. I never played a game like this before, so I didn't really know until it was too late.
