Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General How Origin characters work in Multiplayer?

So myself and 3 other friends are planning to play this game, but we have a couple immediate concerns with playing at max players and was curious if someone knows the answers.

1) If we have 4 players that all picked origin characters, will we be able to swap out for other origin characters? I saw that you can't swap out a customer character and hope this isn't the case.

2) If you choose to have an origin character as your main character, will you still see the story/cutscenes with them? I remember in Divinity OS, if you picked one of the "origin" characters, it changes the way their dialog works.

I really don't want to miss any fun interactions with any of the characters but going into the game with 4 people worries me.

Fingers crossed these are both yes's.

I feel the need to add, I saw that you have to talk with a party member and ask them to stay at camp before you talk to someone different and ask them to join. But how does that work when all 4 characters are being played by a person?

Nobody knows ...
Since we werent allowed to test Origin characters... ypur guess is as good as ours.

Thank you! That's what I had assumed up till this point but wasn't sure if I missed anybody commenting on this I definitely think I'll be running a single player mode either way, but I am curious if something would be potentially missed (story wise) playing with 4 people or if it'll be much different.
