Question about co-op romance

[A1 Steaksauce]

So my friend and I are playing through together and are romancing Shadowheart and Karlach as our custom characters. When it came time for the party at the camp, I got my scene with Shadowheart, but he didn't get his with Karlach. We think it's because he just didn't do the right dialogue to trigger it, but just in case, I wanted to see if this is an issue in co-op at all? Has anyone experienced this?

Like the party after saving the Grove? There's nothing with Karlach there, she's still too hot to touch.

At the party Karlach can come cuddle with you.

But the game doesn't really look or behave as if there are "two" main characters it has to give attention to. Only one long rest scene (like romances) can occur for one person per night as far as I have seen playing multiplayer.

No issues in co-op. Just make sure you share the opportunities for talking, more or less. Because that affects approval.

Shadowheart is easier to romance in Act 1, because Karlach's approval boost becomes available by Act 2 earliest. You do not need to spoil yourself to look those up. Just act... with common sense.

Aka stuff where Karlach is involved, let the player who wants to romance Karlach do the talk. And vice versa with Shadowheart.

So basically we have to long rest more often if we want our respective scenes?

There is no romance scene for Karlach in act 1. There's some dialog at the party but that's all. You can't do anything with Karlach until you cure her as much as you can with two pieces of infernal item and Dammon only does one in act 1. You have to wait until act 2 and meet Dammon again to continue it.

I'm playing through with a friend. We've both gotten a camp scene at the same time before. Most of the time we end up on different nights.

Someone mentioned it already but just make sure you each get chances to lead conversations. If you think something you are going into is going to go best with one party member or another, change who is going to do the talking accordingly.

As for resting, you don't necessarily have to do it more often. But it creates more opportunities to go around and talk to people. I usually knock out some smaller fights and then tackle a larger fight before camping. Seemed to create enough opportunities for us.

Now I did notice the hosting player seems to get more chances to gain approval or potentially gains bigger approvals. So if you are hosting you may need to let your friend take the drivers seat more often for some chances. (Or the other way if your friend is hosting.) But I haven't tested too extensively.

Sorry, sharing a bedroll with someone who is actively talking about wanting to bone me is very much a romantic situation. She does say she is too damn hot to do anything but it was still a sweet and intimate scene that I feel likely is required to progress further romance.

There absolutely is an Act 1 romance scene with her. Every companion has one, except for Minthara and Halsin ofc. What I am trying to figure out is how my friend and I can get our own romance scenes in the same instance, preferably just at the same time, but it looks like that might not be possible.
