First time I'm trying the "solo" run, and I really don't get the system around sidekicks.
Everytime I met a key NPC, I only get "this character wants to talk to XXX" with a yes/no answer. Then I have no clue whatsoever what's going on, nor can I influence the situation, I just get an entry in the log without no more background...

What gives?
Is there a way to "actually" play my characters and decide what they'll do??

I guess you mean you only played co-op before.

Each origin has certain characters they want to talk to. If they are not an Avatar, you can only see their conversation from the outside, and it follows a pre-scripted path (assuming you haven't interfered). If you are playing as that origin, you control the conversation and it can go in a few different ways.

I don't even have the conversation, just kind of a sum up of what happened...
When you say avatar, you mean my main character?

Yes, someone created by a player. They get a little crown icon on their portrait and hovering over the portrait reveals the label "Avatar".

It is normal not to get the conversation if a non-Avatar origin is the one talking to an NPC. Talk to that origin to discuss what happened and maybe glean more information.

Ok thanks for the heads up.
I find it weird but ok.

As I think I said, it's the difference between BEING an Origin and just observing their stories from the outside.
