![]() Phil Iwaniuk played both Larian's Divinity: Original Sin and Original Sin 2 with a friend, and said that "the uniquely combative nature of co-op in Divinity is the best thing about it." The sandbox freedom may create opportunities for real bonding, or at least comedy, like the kind experienced around a real tabletop RPG session.Dividing responsibilities among a co-op group lets you focus on just your character's build and actions. Managing a full party alone is a lot of work: You're playing four D&D characters at once. ![]() Here are the pros and cons of Baldur's Gate 3 co-op as I see them: After trying both and listening to the experiences of others, neither co-op nor singleplayer are obviously better in my view. (Image credit: Larian Studios) Should you play Baldur's Gate 3 multiplayer?įor games like Borderlands 3 or Remnant 2, the question of whether or not to play multiplayer has a definitive answer in my opinion: yes, you should, because it's just more fun. We were also able to reassign characters in the Session menu so that I could keep playing as the character I made when I initiated the co-op campaign. I sent a co-op save file to another player, who was able to load it and then invite me to the session. Users > AppData > Local > Larian Studios > Baldur's Gate 3 > PlayerProfiles > Public > Savegames > Story I found my Baldur's Gate 3 save files stashed away in Windows' hidden AppData folder: Only the host can save the campaign progress, and so only the host can load it back up to start a new session-unless they give the save file to someone else. ![]() What happens if a player disconnects or isn't available? When you're missing a player, control of their character can be assigned to another player in the Session menu.Ĭan you switch hosts? Yes, with a little effort. As of Patch 2, it is possible to dismiss co-op party members. Reminder: If you invite a friend to your campaign and then continue solo later, their character will remain in your party. The new character will be granted levels to get them up to the host's level. (They cannot select an Origin character.) When they're done, their character will be added to the party, sending one of your companions back to camp if your party is full. Inviting new players to an existing campaign: If you invite a player to an existing campaign with no player characters for them to control, they'll be prompted to make a new custom character. The host can then assign the characters to their players. Anyone who joins mid-campaign has to make a custom character.Ĭontinuing a multiplayer campaign: To pick up where you left off in co-op, the host player must load the campaign's most recent save file and invite the players from the "Session" menu (press Escape to find it). This is the only way for players other than the host to select Origin characters. When you start the game, everyone who's connected will be sent to the character creation screen, and then awaken together at the beginning of the campaign. Players who bought Baldur's Gate 3 on GOG need this. Now you can click on the empty player boxes to invite players from your Steam friends list, or set the lobby to Public to allow anyone to join.Īlternatively, you can send the Server ID to friends, and they can use it with the Direct Connect option from the Multiplayer screen. From there, select "Create" at the bottom of the screen to make a lobby. Starting a multiplayer campaign: To start a fresh Baldur's Gate 3 campaign in co-op, hit the "Multiplayer" button from the main menu. ![]() Originally, there was no way to remove those characters from your party, but as of Patch 2, Withers' Wardrobe of Wayward Friends allows you to dismiss co-op party members if you want to replace them with NPC companions. Note: If continuing a co-op campaign alone, you'll have to control the other player characters yourself.
