While it would be cool to have multiplayer in the game I don't think it is necesarily needed very much. Puting in the time to create a multiplayer system that would work well in the game would take awhile and would take away from the time they could be spending on creating a more immersive game, such as the hardcore mode you recommended.

Just look at Mass Effect 3, part of the reason why that game ended up coming out so crappy was because Bioware put alot of their time into making the online for the game. Don't get me wrong ME 3 had an awesome multiplayer but when it takes away from the main experience of the game that goes a bit too far, especially when the multiplayer really isn't needed (which applies to just about every RPG other than MMO).

When it comes down to it, I'm perfectly willing to just talk to my friends on the mic while they play their own games if it means a better less rushed gameplay experience for the end product.
