Hi all, this is my first post on Lemmy so sorry if i break any rules. Im looking for a party for play through BG3 for my first run. I have kept myself spoiler free and will start playing on release date. Would anyone like to join? My time zone is BST/GMT+1 and id play mainly in the evenings after work.
In the same vain others looking for a party feel free to comment and maybe we can all start organizing parties for everyone.
I will play alone because of my schedule, but was curious how this looked. Seems like player would go everywhere and others would start conversations with NPCs. Would everyone stop and listen to the NPC even if they are not in the room or area?
[No spoilers, just discussing game mechanics with a second player]
In early access, if you play with another player who is talking to a NPC, you can click on their party portrait and select “listen” so you can observe their conversation. During the conversation, when your partner has choices of dialogue, you can click on your preference of answer and your partner can see how you would like to reply. But ultimately, the conversation choices will be selected by the player who engaged in conversation first.
Ideally, you and your partner will be close enough that if the dialogue has a skill check, you can potentially help them out if you have something that could improve their roll. Also, if the dialogue ends in gaining XP, your partner wants to be close enough to get XP from the interactions too.
I’d love to join anyone that’d have me, whatever time zone
Sounds like it would be fun for people who want to play as a group.
Does Baldur’s Gate 3 have multiplayer?
Up to three players can join you in Baldur’s Gate 3 and take control of a character. Companions that you recruit can be assigned to any player, and for the most part, you can all split up and embark on your own adventures. There are some limitations to this, as certain cutscenes and activities require all players to be together. In combat, a party will take turns at the same time if they have an aligned initiative, whereas everyone else will have to wait their turn. Relationships and choices are also independently tracked in Baldur’s Gate 3 multiplayer.
From the large news article I just added to the community. Fun.
