Specifically, whose story am I playing?
I’m playing two games at the moment, a single player run through as a custom character, and a coop run-through as Wyl in the second player slot.
I’ve noticed that in coop I get a lot of story if I instigated chats with NPCs or scripted events even while sleeping at camps.
How will the game end in this way, will player one and player two get two endings?
In my single player playthrough, if I decided to move Gael to my first character slot and control him would I get a Gael playthrough instead of my custom character? Would that mean there’s no point in starting as Gael as an origin character?
Does anyone know the difference here?
In some cases it really matters who is initiating the conversation and I think that way you do get some of the information of their origin story. I personally choose who I think is suited best to lead in the situation, sometimes even when I lead with a companion, the game still initiates with my custom character, I then have to unlink the group and try again.
I have no idea how the game decides or behaves in coop.
I’d assume for the best origin story experience and ending, you should go for the origin character as your “main” character. But I haven’t finished the game myself yet.
