So I have done a solo campaign and finished the game and on my second solo play through, and all is well.

I bought my partner the game the other day so we could play together, however multiplayer seems super buggy?
It doesn't seem like we are actually in a party as the NPCs, even though I will listen in on the convos (as I am allowing him to take charge on the gameplay), will then go ahead and repeat everything even though I'd already listened in/was apart of the interaction.

This now leads in to approval with origin characters- I have taken Karlach on to my team and he, Lae-zel. However my relationship with everyone, including Karlach remains neutral while he is getting the Approves/Disapproves with the interactions. As I have never played mp until yesterday, is this a bug or how mp is set up?
We share an exp pool and level up at the same time, so surely I should also be getting my relationships with the origin characters up at the same time as well, no? It's honestly frustrating haha

Who is hosting? I'm playing through with my friend who hasn't played a solo campaign yet so I was wondering how this would play out. For some Origin character interactions it seems like its based on who is talking to them, such as Astarion night time visit.

My partner is hosting, I had Astarion come to me for his little visit because he was in my party but apart from that I haven't had any other interactions.

Okay interesting, im hosting the game for us. I'm not certain if we had Astarion grouped at all when he visited my friend, but I am pretty sure he was the one who first talked to him. We havent gotten to any romance yet so if I find anything helpful, I'll share it. I'm nudging him to Shadowheart and, Im bee-lining Lazel.

I was under the impression that NPC approval ratings applied to the host only, but maybe I'm wrong?

What I can report is if using multiple custom chars created in a multiplayer setup to use solo is that whichever one initiates dialogue with npcs is the one who's approval rating changes.
