Companion approval in 4 player multiplayer

[Shurastei]

Hey there! I will start a new campaign with 3 other friends, but we’re concerned about companion approval during gameplay.

I know that in some cases it’s not required to have the companion attached in the party to gain the approval, but most cases we need to have the companion in the party and attached to a player to get their approval or disapproval.

I’m wondering how we’re going to get high approval with 4 players. If one does actions that Astarion f.e. would approve, but he’s not in the party, will it count? Will romance and other story-related dialogue be available?


Thx a lot!

Pretty much none of that will be available in a full player party, as approval from NPC/origin characters (NPC) go only towards players' avatars. So if everyone is an avatar, nothing will happen.

That is why 2 and 3 players multiplay croups are best… Unles you just don´t care companion stories and quests.

Not like the companion stuff is nearly 50% of the games contend. If i take favorites with me alone , i have 3 massive questlines thrown at me that get well into act3. Otherwise with my GF i get only 2 max (and one is not even for me then) and with 3 players only 1.

4 player COOP is nice when you say "frell it we already beat the game anyway soooo lets go fun stupid mode here".
