As the game fast approaches I have some questions and concerns about multiplayer that I hope you fine people can answer. We have a large group of 7 people who play a weekly 5e game, and most are excited to play BG3. We know larian in its finite wisdom decided to limit groups to 4 players, but beyond that...
1. Are multiplayer games designed like Divinity 2, where the characters are baked into the save file? Ive seen some posts that say that everyone needs to be present when a game is made, you all create and add your characters at the same time, no takebacksies.
2. Once a game is running, is is possible to switch out players in a game? Or are you stuck with what you start with? Could you drop out and try a different character?
3. If a player drops out or cannot play for a time, can you remove them from the party and add NPCs?
4. Do we know if players can take on the roles of Mercs and join an existing party?
TLDR, how flexible is the multiplayer system to accommodate a number of players who may want to drop in and out of a game?
