How Baldur's Gate 3 Multiplayer Works : All Info Full Details

Can we fight each other online?

You mentioned there's the ability to start a campaign from scratch where each person can make a character, but you didn't say how.

so many spoilers on these cinematics

I had no idea there were so many options! Couch co op for me and my non gamer gf is coning soon!!

This looks amazing. I can't find anybody locally to play D&D with. I'll be playing both single player and custom multiplayer with 2, possibly 3, others.

Very useful, thank you!

I can't wait till they add cross platform co-op.

wish i had friends that like to play this but its single player for me

One thing I'm still sort of lost on is what happens if you're playing with a buddy in a "from scratch" playthrough and they get off?

Can you still continue on as a solo player but with your multi-player party?

If so, does it affect anything aside from progression?

do you share xp even if you are both on the other side of the map?

i had this game on steam since it was in beta so never bought it got to keep it free but i want to buy it on ps5

I have BG3 on PS5. Me and my friend have been trying to play online but it won't connect. We have tried different solutions but no luck. I was able to join his game just once, it took me to the character creator screen. I wasn't able to replicate what I did. Is anyone having this problem? What are doing wrong?

first time viewer here, I gotta know, is that your voice or like a Theo von voice ai?

i’m begging someone to answer this question: how does companion approval work in co op? i have a friend and we’re going to start playing together soon but we still want to romance our favoured companion. is approval separate and based on collective action or individual? i need to knee 😭

If my girlfriend isn’t here I can’t still add her character to the party. However she does not follow my character? If I switch to her though mine does follow? Why is this. ( I have made sure they are grouped together)

Great video. Well explained. Helped my wife and I decide how we'll play together. (From scratch)

is there any way to use my current character from my own playthrough in a multiplayer world with my friends? or do i have a make a new character from scratch? i cant just use my current character? the whole thing seems super confusing

if i want to make a copy of my current character (just race/ class/ looks wise) i have to literally just build the character again? spent an hour on this already just the other day when i got the game myself

is there a con to playing online co op, is the story butchered slightly without the npcs and their side quests/ lore?

Can I play on PS5 with my buddies on their PCs?

If I play a solo run through, and now my friend has it, can we start a from scratch campaign with them as host, with a separate character created?

I just purchased BG3 on PS5 and then tried to co op with a friend. But when we try to join game, either by invite or matchmaking system, we are presented with the character creation screen and cannot chose from any existing character.

Had to listen at 1.25 as it was so slow to watch, I wondered if it had been slowed down, ..but thanks for the info

I will be playing next weekend with 3 friends on PS5. Should we play with 4 created characters or 4 origin characters? I heard origin characters get special story and items?

Also the host holds the saved data. It is not jum in jump out coop. You make a new character when joining your friends story. Or you both start from the beginning, but remember the host always has to start the game. Its like this because each character has there own story, you cant just leave your story and join a friends. Makes sense

"future expansions"?

Finally clear and detailed explanation. Thanks.

Does anyone know if you can do split screen, and play with 2 other friends online at the same time?

Is it cross play between PS5 and PC?

Is this going to be cross platform?

I hope they add additional campaigns, like Ravenloft

So lets say we start the canpaign with 4 players, but later on one loses interest, can a another player replace him? Can they create their own character? Cant find information on that, thanks

It is nice to see that they don't destroy single player in sake of multiplayer. :) I respect it as an SP player. :)

List the first modern Dungeons & Dragons game I have ever played in 20 years for online gaming that feels like the creators actually sat down and played Dungeons & Dragons great job to the team who developed this

My wife and I are gonna split screen it

Lol that squirrel, the look of shock then drops its nut.

It says I can play with friends on the PlayStation

They should add pvp

Can't wait to play this with my friend group!

going to be watching some streamers play, thanks for the info!!

Sorry just to confirm...if me and my mate buy this game start it together same day creating our custom characters we cannot finish the story together ? So if he always joins my game when we finish the game only i technically have finished it, meaning he gets no story trophies/achievements or story progression nothing ?

And if i can't play cause im busy he can't continue and do side quests or explore alone, then when I come back we just continue the main story?

For example is it like the borderlands games where you do main story together and I (the host) leave to go bed, other players can continue playing side quests leveling up and that not doing story missions, then when I come back we continue the story.

Or is it like we do 10 story missions together I go off-line, does he lose all those 10 missions we did together, so if he wants to go do side missions in his own game while im not there, all those missions we did are gone for him in his game if he decides to play alone...if so that's shit as and we won't be getting it...could anyone please confirm for us

Thanks

Ive always wanted an rpg where friends take turns and can influence the story in a video game. Finally one that dose it.

Next i want a co op beat em up game where the 2 to 4 characters play vastly, different like spiderman and wolverine playing together

After It-Takes-Two I will play it in couch co-op with my wife :).

Great video, great content. Subbed!

can you have segs with your homies?

Great video, thanks. But the game footage is quite spoilery 😪

Hi, if me and friend begin together and each has character created. On Day 2, friend play ahead alone and progress the story first without waiting me who doesn't log in. On Day 3, is it possible for me to log in to join friend on his progressed?

My friends and I are creating one with three sibling dragon born bards and a rogue/ theif who is a cut purse/ security for our bardic band called "The Blades"

If i decide to play with my friends, are my saves gonna be dissapear or the multiplayer saves and my own solo saves are gonna be separated ?

Oh yes, I am so excited for this
