Questions About Co-Op

[Nox Tenebris]

I don't have EA and don't plan to play the game until release. I'd like to know how Co-Op is and if it is worth playing over just playing alone. Questions:

1. Can two players break the party in half and go across the map to do their own thing (quests, leveling, etc.) but still be in Co-Op? Or are you tethered to each other?

2. Is there a Player One that typically has control over everything like dialogue and teleporting places or can any player do anything?

3. How does dialogue work for Co-Op players? Do both players see the same dialogue and cutscenes or do other players have to opt in or something?

4. Are there any special actions Co-Op players can do while someone is in dialogue? Like adding extra lines or clearing stat checks for the person in dialogue?

5. Are there special combos or things you can do in combat that are easier or more viable to do in Co-Op?

6. Can Co-Op players romance each other and get gameplay bonuses from having done so?

7. Does the game treat both players like they are the same person? For example, if one player murders a town, is the second player also blamed if they weren't in the vicinity? Do NPCs have different opinions of each player based on choices they respectively make?

Be tough to get answers because nobody plays it.

It's hard enough to get single-player info and that's the mode that everybody plays.

1. kind of, your still in a party but you can separate and get into different fights, if its anything like divinity 2 each act will be a new map and you cant go back.

2. no dialogue is first come first serve in the ea atm and teleporting is person by person basis

3. yes everyone can see the same stuff, but if you are far away you have to click on them to see the dialogue and stuff.

4.atm the only special action is like casting guidance or other buffs that might change your skill checks.

5. sorta if your friend knocks a dude over it gives you a better chance to hit them and stuff like that.

7. They did in divinity 2, i havent really tested that when i was multiplayin ea.

Is it Co-Op not implemented well in the current EA or something? Or do people just not have friends?

2. That's super lame.

4. So if the rogue player starts dialogue and there is a skill check for something arcane and player 2 is a mage, players 2 can't help with the dice roll or take over the conversation?

5. You can just do that in single player, too, right?
