Doubt most of you have played the older Larian games these were strictly singleplayer games and were a lot more action-focused and weren't nearly as deep as the last 2 Coop DOS games. So nope adding Coop does not mean less complexity and of course BG1 and 2 had Coop as well.
Well, I guess this is where I have a different view. I just didn't see the D:OS games as being deep or complex at all. Playing D:OS, I clearly felt the game was designed to be played co-op, that this was the default, expected way you were supposed to play it, and the SP experience was very much secondary.
And yes, the BG games did have MP, but those games were clearly built from the ground up for the SP experience, and this is evident in the fact that one of the most common and strong criticisms of those games was how lousy the MP experience was (beyond technical issues).
