Ok i'm back after a long hard sleep.
There is a dialogue box beneath the playing screen that you and your other players can communicate back and forth. We have to type to each other, but i believe you can set up a live voice chat on "roger wilco" If you do type your dialogue you learn really quick to use anagrams and shorthand I.E. rl=reload, u/s= upstairs, d/s = downstairs
and so on. we use a lot of pausing throughout the battles to coordinate our attacks. It doesn't work all the time especially when we trap each other into a hallway or with summoned critters, but we just rl and try again. Its really a blast
We plan our attacks before we go wandering into an area. Charlie and I have been through the game so we usually know whats around every corner. We cast alot of defensive spells on the party before we go too. Its really cool because you have to make decisions with other people on how your going to approach a battle or a situation. Not everyone agrees, but we are very compatible to each other. It's funny too. Charlie likes to get his character drunk before we go into battle and he has a bad habit of pickpocketing and turning the whole place against us when he gets caught. Can't control him, but its funny as hell.
You can give permissions to your other players if you are the host. I give everyone all the permissions. Anyone can go wherever they want to in an area, but you cannot leave an area without everyone together. if you get lost in a large area say like the Underdark, you can put your cursor onto the player portrait that you want to find and it will automatically take to that player's position once you click on the portrait.
It's a lot of fun!!! Cloudbringer, Charlie and I are all addicted to multiplayer now
Any more questions and I'll be glad to help.
