Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Suggestion: Barter works for whole party in co-op

When we get around to quality of life updates, I'd like to request a mod or a patch that enables barter to function for the whole party in co-op mode (based on the character with the highest skill).

The way it works now it's best to have one character do all the shopping and selling, but then the other characters can't participate and may be sitting there with nothing to do for a while. They can't even browse the same shop at the same time to communicate what they want.

If Barter worked for the party we could all go about our business independently and save time (and boredom). Speaking for myself, it would make processing our hauls after a good run much more satisfying. I know it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but if I had such a mod or option I would surely use it. Thank you.

I don't understand what does this mean: how does barter work now?

It works as expected: person who initiates buying/selling with highest Bartering gets best prices, for the whole party--but only in single-player.

In co-op, only one person may speak to an NPC or trade at a time. The other player cannot interact with an NPC while the one is speaking to them or trading. This makes it so in co-op, anyone with less Bartering gets poorer prices, because they must initiate on their own, based on their skill.
