Split screen did not get as much attention as other parts of the game during its development. Split screen wasn't even available during the entire early access period so there was no time to listen to community feedback. Whatever happened during development, split screen is available to us now and we should be making ourselves as loud as possible to Larian that we want a better experience. This thread is one of the most active ones in the forums right now, we need to keep it going if we want Larian to address this.

To any Larian employees reading the thread, we want to have the best experience possible when we share this game with the people in our household. Many of us recognize the monumental effort that went into the game, and we feel gutted that the couch co-op experience is not as good as it could be because of the forced split screen. We're only going to get one chance to experience this game for the first time with our loved ones, and we know that you can do better because you've done better in your previous titles.
