Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback splitting the party at the end of act 1?

for a multiplayer setting would it be possible to split how the party would travel. for instance out of a party of 4 players two with some of the companions can go on the boats in the underdark while the other two party members would take other companions on the surface near the githyanki patrol. I imagine at some point maybe the two paths can link up and maybe the party could meet up again. This sounds like a weird idea but I am curious about everyone's opinion on the matter.
