Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Purpose behind the Single/Multiplayer option?

I have no idea how to explain this any more clear....

let me try caps..

SINGLE PLAYER = One person, You..the One running the game.. Makes BOTH of the characters. Only one person in character creation.. just ONE not TWO.


MULTIPLAYER = Host and FRIEND in character creation. Each one making their OWN character. Two people in character creation....

I honestly hope that is clear enough.
So now do you see why there is MULTIPLAYER, so each player can make a character from the start of the game.

._. am having a hard time trying to figure out how this confuses people....

*EDIT* Also you will only see the two "confusing" buttons once, or whenever you start a new game. Most of the time I would imagine people will be clicking Load.
