Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Help/Tips/Tricks NPCs chain not working properly

Ive been playing a while with my friends and sometimes when we load the game i cant chain the npc, only the host can... why is that? Any player should be able to chain a NPC, in my team im the only one willing to control him, and we always lose progress cause of this *bug*.
Besides that, we sometimes send him away so i can talk to him and chain, but now he doesnt seem to re-apear at the town, maybe cuz we killed the guards?
Thanks!

The host can press "escape" and select "assign characters" to assign the characters to any players in the game. Have him do this and assign the extra character to you, then you will be able to chain him with your other characters.

Basically, all characters in the party have to be assigned to one of the players. The host can change these assignments at any time. Players can only control and chain together characters assigned to them.

Another question, are some quests bugged? I complete them and when i load the game later they are not completed nor advanced in steps, is it normal?

This is Alpha, so yes, some quests are bugged. However, I'm not aware of anything like you describe.
Could you be more specific?
I haven't noticed any of my progress disappearing after saving and reloading.
