Agreed 100%. I was looking towards this game for years because DOS1 and DOS2 were such marvelous coop games. The current state is terrible, it is borderline unplayable as a coop or at least deeply unenjoyable. Honestly did Larian even play test the coop? The books are utterly unreadable on splitscreen, even my GF that has the best eyes I've ever seen has to stand up and walk right in front of our TV to read it lol.
The worst of all is the lack of merge though. Being forced to split screen completely ruins exploration and combat, most of the time I have zero idea where I am and I have to rotate the camera just to get some idea of my surroundings. It is very immersion breaking and disorienting.
We are actually planning to just play it solo and pass the controller, which is... extremely sad.
Larian please... fix this.
