I think the only way to play the game is solo as it would be a nightmare trying to coordinate multiplayer for such a long game.
It’s a turn-based combat game which isn’t for everyone so if you hate those mechanics then this game isn’t for you.
Just like tabletop, the lawful good Paladin or Cleric in the party is just seething while the devilish rogue pickpockets anything in sight, alive or dead. It evokes the same feeling, and that’s what makes it great.
Oh you better believe I'll be playing this game with a friend in co op for first playthrough.
We both have a lot of freetime to dedicate like we wish, and we'll definitely make it work.
I'll probably be streaming it
One of my greatest gaming achievements was playing through D:OS in it's entirety with my wife. When she was home we played Couch co-op, when she was TDY we played via XBox Live.
I would love if my partner was into videogames like myself but she’s not. However it does mean the kids have at least one parent present this week while I play BG3 in my every waking moment around work.
My best days are when my three sons and I get to game together. Doesn't happen near often enough.
The stories of people who play their prior games but with multiplayer sound interesting. Fun to read about.
But I can barely get the same group to come for dinner once a week.
