Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Game Master Multiple characters for ONE player?

Is it possible to have one player control all four characters? I did a GM session yesterday and it appears that if you only have one player, you have to tailor the challenges to be pretty basic, because they have no back up. Is it not possible to have one player roll a full party of four and control all of them?

This is high on my wishlist too. I am gonna GM for one player only.

One thing I do if I want to start with a party of 4 in SP is to boot up the game 4 times.
So long as you run it from the .exe rather than through Steam, you can set the game up as player 1, then join player 1's game via LAN. The additional instances show up as debug accounts.
Now although you wouldn't want to play it like this, it means you can completely customise your characters. Once you're through char select, kill the other instances of the game and voila, only one person running 4 characters.

I haven't tested this in GM mode, but I get the impression it would work the same way. You could probably load your custom campaign then have your friend join. Then, have the other "players" join in 3 additional instances of the game. If player formations still work like they do in SP, you should find you can assign them all to your friend.

Worth a try at least

Interesting. Thank you.

Hey Shapeshifter, If you try this out, please let me know how it went . I might try this when I get home tonight.
I played a small game with my wife the other day, and it was fun and we both had a blast, the dynamics of combat is limited with only one character. Not to mention much more lethal.

I just tested this and it work just fine .

I just tested this in GM mode. Works fine . Awesome tip! Thanks!
