Hello PC Master Race!
My brother and myself were super excited this title came to console.
We bought it day 1 (10/27), we even both took half days at work to dig in.
Sadly, we cannot connect to one another (or anyone else for that matter). We tried a variety of ways... inviting in game, in the character creation screen, just setting the game to "Open" and having a player join versus being invited, to no avail.
I even went as far as changing router settings to set my console up as DMZ. Which, hilariously enough, we could never connect to one another in Assassins Creed Unity (pretty sure everyone has heard that that coop experience was plagued with issues) but after making my xbox open via router settings, Unity worked flawlessly.
The above did help numb the pain of not being able to play Divinity (Unity has sat on the shelf for a month, untouched), but we really want to experience this game!
Help please! I feel we tried everything possible on our end, short of making his console DMZ as well (he isn't as tech savvy).
It also seems like we are not alone. A few other people are talking about this on reddit:

Thanks for your attention to this! We really want to play this game and while I love my brother, I will be damned if I have to sit in the same room as him to play it :).
-Warm regards.
