They're supposed to be where you first found them I think
Running with a full multiplayer party. We were having quite a bit of trouble the first couple of levels, biting off more than we can chew and having a very odd party composure. Going a lot smoother now as we're actually winning fights. Still not sure where to take my witch, the dex/int hybrid is odd.

What are you guys favorite origin stories so far? I'm really enjoying Sibell but that character is locked in a co op game. So whose everyone's favorite so far?

Just wondering, how is the game in single player only? I don't have anyone to play with so I wouldn't want to buy this and then find out the best way to play is in multiplayer. I always got the impression this was a single player game so I was a bit surprised when I heard it had multiplayer tbh.
It's honestly better in single player, unless you're playing the dungeon master thing

Multiplayer is not required and I reckon most people the bought the game due to single player. Think of it as a full-fledged single player campaign that can be played in multiplayer to do crazy shit you would never think of with a second/third/fourth person playing alongside you.

Ah good to hear thanks. Makes me a feel a lot more confident in buying it.
It's definitely playable that way but my ideal way to play it is with one co-op partner, making two custom characters and then each of you taking an Origin companion as a battle buddy. That's how me and my friend played through Original Sin 1 and it's a lot of fun here, too.
Use tactical retreat to move him to high ground and haste him, etc. Definitely not leaving my party.
Yea, I think I've decided I don't want to shuffle party members in a game like this, I'd rather micromanage one solid team

Alrighty, after my little adventure on my new ship (let me just say that ship is awesome, I love the music that plays when you're on board), I'm finally in Act 2 proper. I really need to get Fane some magic armor as an Inquisitor/Death Knight archetype
So everyone fighting Griff is interesting. I took a different tack.
I retrieved his "oranges", gave them back to him and fingered the lizard as the person who took them. I then booked it across town to the lizard just in time to find the assassin he sent to kill the lizard, I killed her, saved the lizard and kept Griff alive.
Wow. Never even considered that. Amazing that it can be done.
Without spoiling anything, they come off later. I was worried about it too, but just keep going.

The goal changes (if you're willing to RP it) once you escape Fort Joy (the actual fort, not the island itself).
You can make custom campaigns, but that's not on the GM mode, you have to download the editor.
Switched to explorer mode because normal was too difficult most of the time without pre setting up battles based on how I knew they were going to start once I had already tried and failed them. Which is essentially just cheesing enemies through a choke point, which doesn't seem very fun or what the game wants me to do since the battles seem to be set up in large arena type areas. Pretty disappointing, since I think I played through on normal in the original, and while difficult I didn't have to cheese / pre-battle set up as much.
Perhaps I'm just using a team that doesn't synergize well or something though.

So what are some good combos to do with two handed knight? Or one handed glass cannon types?

What I'm getting is that the game is balanced around having a party with gear, which is bullshit, since your first few levels don't have even mediocre gear. The moment I got my entire team in armor, accessories, etc the game took a HUGE turn.

i actually think it's weird you guys are using default companions

still get the story, don't follow their default skills
I'm going to post some super low-level tips that I will admit that I didn't realize right away.
1.) Grab a bedroll and keep it in your inventory. Basically can use it to fully heal after every fight, I assumed they would be consumable but they are not.
2.) You can waypoint from the minimap in the upper right, you dont have to be at a waypoint to waypoint.
