Quest rewards and CO-OP

[Fielhoor]

I was wandering if anyone could let me know how this works with both players playing the campaign, do you receive a reward or is it only the person who finishes the quest who is allowed to select?

I am playing with a friend who just bought the game so I am allowing him to be the storymaster and dedicate our playthrough while I mess about with different builds and I am going to be playing a Tempest Cleric and need to aquire specific items in Act 1 to boost my playstyle.

Only 1 player gets rewards, multiplayer was an after thought with this game.

your entire party (you and all other players) count as 1 team. same as in singleplayer. so you have to learn to share rewards and work to earn things for one another at times.

every player getting duplicates of rewards would lead to an unbalanced and unrealistic reward system.

BG3 very much does not support two players playing the same spec and class gear wise, as aforementioned you'll only get one reward, and unless you're willing to turn to modding you can't dupe said rewards usually. Generic things such as "+1 Shortsword" will get lots of repeats through drops and traders in game so it doesn't mean you can't play the same class/spec AT ALL, it just means only one of you will get specialized drops for said things or quest rewards.

you can play the same thing. just cant have the exact same build with the exact same unique one time items.

there are plenty of options for 2-3 of the same class being in a party despite the limitation of 1 reward per party.

We're both kind of saying the same thing. xD

Also, your PFP is awesome and if you drew it yourself you deserve to be proud of it. :) Saw you around before but context of situations and hot heads made it kind of hard to say anything in the moment.

Yeah it's a bit lame how you get singular unique rewards like hag's hair, araj's str elixir and such.

It really isn't.

its not really. just like singleplayer. and its more than balanced in singleplayer.

the only difference is there are multiple players now. and there are dozens if not hundreds of unique items to build around. there is a very very small chance you will both need the same pair of boots or whatever. and most of the time there are alternate ways of getting the same effects.

thanks a lot, its not drawn by me but the character is mine. I had a talented artist on etsy draw them <3 (I cannot for the life of me remember their username)

I quite like it as well hard to change to anything else since this one is so clean

Nice! I regularly hire artists for various things, usually just memes, but sometimes personal stuff, like I hired Maco at Macomixart to do a "coming soon" animation sequence for my streams.

I would link it but I need to keep my streaming account and this one separate.

I can relate to that part as well about it being hard to change, I've had this little black neko avatar now for over 2 decades, just like it too much to change it. I do wish I could figure out who originally drew it...

Yeah that's why I'm referring to unique rewards/buffs like that which can't be replaced.

the multiplayer is just the singleplayer except your friends control some of the party members.

the singleplayer and multiplayer are fundamentally the same experience. you just control less characters. so no its really 50/50 the same thing.

So an afterthought.

mmmmm no. literally the definition of after thought is to think after...

the multiplayer was decided to work the way it does alongside the singleplayer at the same time. they coincide as one experience. so by definition. not an afterthought.
