make coop so friends can play

[Cryptic]

would sell alot more

[MissRockyqo]

That takes alot more effort than they can put into the game currently. They're smashing bugs.

would be so good though

Kind of pointless for single player turn based game. I mean you'll literally sit there and watch your friend take a combat turn, which would take you same amount of time and with same amount of strategy.

Just imagine what kind of mess it would create when it comes to quests, trying to continue each other's quests without having any clue where they stopped, what switch they flipped and so on. At least as one player you can keep these things in your head and logically follow through, with another person you'd just have to keep talking and communicating, meaning stupidly reading text to each other.

Ok you want a honest response? It is way too late to add multiplayer to this game. The game has been released and most developers work on other projects now. For coop to happen, the whole game needs to be built around this feature. Network communication isn't easy, especially if it should be fluent, stable and without any asynchronisations. Adding this on top of a finished game (as compared to having it planned and incrementally added during development) is a big task and will probably yield bad results in general.

Besides: this game would bore your co-op partner to death: he or she would have to wait for your decisions in conversations without being able to do anything there and would have to wait for the player character(s?) turn in every fight. As good as nothing could happen simultaneously. If your friend is doing something and you enter a house, he will be stopped and teleported into the house (since latest patch). This all would just lead to frustration. Big frustration. Not fun.

Cars would be better.

We used to play Baldurs Gates, and Icewind Tales, coop. I'm guessing some of these repliers are a bit too young to know much about those, and that's why they lack the imagination to understand how it used to work in all these games.

One does not simply fiddle their thumbs while the other person controls everything, I mean, that doesn't even make sense. Why would they?

You move around with your own character, or characters, while the other person moves theirs, in and out of combat. You stayed in the same map, but could go around anywhere you wanted to. The turn based combat is awkward if combat starts in a separate location, but that's what you get for splitting your team up.

It would work great for this game. Anyone who's ever played Gladius on the old Xbox will also know that even if the world map is controlled by one person, the game itself is not boring at all.

I'm in a location right now, where one of my characters had to stay behind to control a computer. Situations like this would be nice in coop. It is possible, anyone saying it isn't lacks imagination and/or knowledge of old school gold. They managed to make coop work perfectly back in 1999, I think they can manage to make it work now :D
People are just being fooled by lazy developers and unimaginative people who say things are impossible because they don't want to create a full product, or they lack vision. But this being the first installment in modern times for this series, that is likely the reason they didn't do coop. They sell this, and then you can start pressuring them to add coop to the next one. And pressuring is exactly what you need to do, or otherwise you'll get CoD.

But in order to get it to work, you'd have to work the game over, so it is unlikely they'll put it into this one. But maybe in the future games. One can only hope.

Sure coop would be nice-to-have, but seriously the effort of making a good co-op mode is huge, and I doubt they would put it in now. Besides it is not really "crucial" for this game to make it enjoyable. They would have had to add it from the start, see my previous post as to why.

I myself i am a lover of co-op games, dont get me wrong by judging based on my previous posts. But for games like this one it seems less fun. The roleplaying elements are too small and the fights wouldnt be fun. Fights and running around make up most of the game.
