i would like to see an improved multiplayer chatlog.

Now the problem is that you might have problems to follow the dialogues of your co-player, especially if you are in a crowded area (the marketplace for example), or if your co-player just clicks fast trough it.

What i would like is basically what other games did: if you are in a certain range, and your friend starts to talk to someone, you get a dialogue-popup too, but you can't click anything (except for multiplayer dialogues, ofc).

I have the feeling they wanted to create a multiplayer game, for two players with equally "important" main characters, and this is what i was really waiting for.

some stuff is still really hard to deal with in multiplayer. It starts with the book you find at the beginning: it is quest relevant and triggers a dialogue between the two main characters, but only one player has to pick it up and read it. Right after you did read it, the multiplayer dialogue starts, and basically you have to tell your co-player what the book was about, either in chat or skype, give him the book so that he can read it himself or tell him to read the quest-log for a quick summary, because the multiplayer dialogue implies that both characters know the book and have an opinion on the subject.
So eiter i would like to see the multiplayer dialogue as "oh hey lets read the book together" or that it starts only when both players read the book, and not just one.

see, i appreciate that both players can move freely and that you can split the party and then teleport back, this is why i want this dialogue-popup only if you are within a certain range - could be very close if you ask me. Either you should be able to directly overhear the conversation, or you are too far away. What i don't like is that you have to filter the chat-log for the relevant text, because you can't even adjust the chat-log in a way that you don't have to read all the chatter and npc spam too.

also, the game lacks a few multiplayer options such as "share gold" (this would just share the gold coins you or your friend picks up equally between both characters), while it has brilliant other stuff (such as friendly fire, teleport, the homestead.... ).
