[Multiplayer] Toggle option to auto-join conversations

[Ghin]

So I recently watched a video where two guys were playing multiplayer in prep for launch. One of the issues they mentioned was that players do not get dragged into conversations when someone initiates one, and they have to make the intentional decision to opt in but they also need to see this and do so.

I would like to suggest there be a settings toggle that is an auto opt-in for this, so that we don't miss out on any story whilst playing together. It could be adjustable in settings but appear as a checkbox at the beginning of a run.

Edit: THEY LISTENED!!!!

"Added an option to the Default Online Settings to let you automatically listen in when another party member enters a dialogue in multiplayer."

I totally agree!
also it would be nice if conversation option from other party members in the conversation would appear. For example I don't want to miss a race specific response to a conversation just because i initiated it with the wrong character :(

Yeah the way one half of the party can be picking seashells on the beach while the other half goes through all the dialogue in the game sounds better in theory than it is. 99% of people want to actually be involved in the dialogue and don't just run off doing whatever. For anyone but the weirdest of weirdoes, the current system is a downgrade.

Dude, that's been a thing that has constantly been asked for Larian to do since the first Divinity Original Sin game...

When Divinity Original Sin 2 was in Early Access, people kept asking for the same thing. With Baldur's Gate 3's Early Access, same thing.

We're days from launch and it just isn't gonna' happen unfortunately. Larian just can't implement it for whatever reason.

Totally agree as well. This ruins the multiplayer experience. Also it's super weird how we can't choose who talks in a group conversation, let us choose who is doing the talking!

*+1* ... super annoying and downgrades the experience in multiplayer

[Cybran M]

Totally agree, Im honestly surprised theres no option to auto-join conversations since its such a story heavy game. Really hope they add it to the game

This one looks promising. Run before the game and it should automatically push the join button whenever your friends start dialogue. At least as I understand it... I have a business trip for a few days and can't even check it.... If it works - will be great. If someone checks it before me, plz write back on whether it works or not, for me to serf the net a few hours more XD

How did u do it?
Could u explain it step-by-step for dummies pls?

It seems to work on the sample picture, but doesn't work in game for some strange reason. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

[MA7ERICK]

There is a new version out 1.04.

If any of you try it, can you let us know if it works? Waiting for this either via mod or official patch to buy a copy for me and my wife to play together.

Thanks!

[Nylim-Lara]

I tested it and the newer version works, but even after clicking on the listen up button, it keeps the mouse there and kicks endless :/ It works better but still not perfect

I'd like to hear whats happening but dont want to get dragged in all the time. Maybe just having the subtitles and audio start playing, so you can join the cutscene if you want, but you wont lose out on the story if you're in the middle of something else.
