How good is it in multiplayer/coop?

[Siodog]

Same as Divinity original sin? You gotta tell always and control where your buddies are or you don't miss stuff is someone is doing anything?

I'm not really sure what else you want. Yes, if you aren't accompanying your multiplayer partner, you won't be included in what they're doing.

Just wondering if there is "You need your team here" change added or something coz it's easy to lose stuff with a loose party like when you are selling and they decide to explore randomly

New player here. Was kind of wondering the same thing.

I play this game almost exclusively with my partner, which is fantastic. Playing with randoms, however, was horrible. I suspect level of enjoyment of multiplayer will vary wildly depending on how well you know the others playing.

But there is nothing, as yet, that limits activity based on whether your fellow players are there or not. IE, no "You must gather your party to continue".

You will most likely not enjoy this game with randoms if you care about seeing everything.
It can be extremely chaotic and not in a good way. Playing it with a friend however, is really fun, though you might have to engage in some diplomacy or have a convsersation between each other on how to approach a situation.

I've spent about 1800 hours in multiplayer, and it's pretty great. The caveat to that is you need to use Discord since there is no in-game chat whatsoever.

Like every multiplayer game since the dawn of time, other players can be total jerks and ruin things. But since that's every game, always, I don't really see a reason to spend a lot of time pointing it out.

If you need the game to stop other players from doing something in particular, you're plain out of luck since creative jerks will always find a way to make your experience garbage. If you can't handle that, multiplayer in general is simply not for you.

I play alone or with a friend who is just as slow and methodical as me otherwise you will miss out on alot of content.

If I feel like spicing up my playthrough there is a particular friend I look to for it, which results in dead companions, lots of fire and having everyone hate our stomachs.

Although I admit there is some humor in him running ahead and me coming across a ton of corpses 10 minutes later.

I mean you dont have to control where you buddies are nor do you have to get the same stuff they get but in general if one of you rolls thru a dialogue everyone else misses it, if you play while they are not online then yeah they will never see what you played thru but they can rejoin and take control of their character again at any time.

I personally like the choas approach myself, work against the forces of good by playing an evil while the rest of the party is like "i would never betray my friends" im like pssh just met em hardly know em #notmyfriends! lol its nice the game lets each player have agency and it wont force everyone into turn based if i get into conflict which is good cuz they wont know when im up to the shanans again xD

Play with friends so you can plan accordingly and run it how you want it to be

I wonder if anyone ever finished DOS2 in COOP.
And if someone ever will finish BG3 in COOP.
It's 100+hr game.

COOP is just their marketing trick and rest of the game has to suffer with worse UI and control elements thx to it.

Implementing a feature that no one uses as a.. marketing strategy? Interesting take, I guess.

"Will you buy this game?"
"Hm, not sure, I'm on the fence"
"It has co-op"
"Co-op?! God, I'll never use that. Here's my money"

I don't know, I'm lost. Everybody is answering the thread title question, but I'm not sure what the specifics of the question are.
