Thanks for the quick response.
I suspect that was the case. And while that's usually a good idea it's not really working out as well here (and possibly not on PC in general? Outside of logo movies no one gives a shit about anyway.)
Just to clarify further, it is possible to open up single player games to multiplayer at any point even after creation, but the second player will take over the existing second character - so if you plan to play the entire game in coop it makes much more sense for each player to create their own character.
Thank you so much for this.
Does anyone know how much intelligence is required to cast the highest level spells without a penalty?

You can probably run it on medium. I run it on my wife's 2 year old a6 laptop on low with no problems.
For RP reasons, I will not be stealing anything unless it is absolutely necessary to progress the story. Lockpicking to gain access to a locked area or open a new chest is a different matter and I have no problems with that.
As OP as thievery and random murder sound my "good guys" Knight and Mage team aren't going to be participating in anything like that. I trust that Larian understands that there are folks who want to play the game like that and has systems in place to support them.

This has been annoying me as well. I get that they don't want to slow down the other player every time someone gets into a conversation but I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of info simply because the game doesn't have a good way of showing me the whole conversation. Your partner's responses don't show up in the message log and NPC banter drowns out the NPC responses forcing a lot of scrolling.
I strongly suspect the entire system around following conversations between your co-op partner and NPCs will be looked at posthaste by Larian. That and the intrusively persistant NPC voice barks are by far the most common (and, in my opinion, valid) complaints since launch.
Yeah I wish I could have the option of joining the dialogue box like my partner is in. Hmm..

For a crowd control / disabler...what elements do people recommend? I made one of my characters (My main PC that I'm personally controlling) an Enchanter...and I'm unsure as to how to level him up.
By default he has a point in Air / Water...but I'm curious if Earth has good crowd control too.

Kudos, exactly what I needed.
Yeah. Hold Shift, then click and drag the money to a different inventory slot.
You can read up on missed dialogue in the "Dialogue" part of the log.
We currently chose the option of reading our lines out, which is more entertaining.
Air/Water is a nice combination for CC from what I've tried so far. You can make it rain to create a puddle and then electrify that puddle, stunning enemies who try to cross it. Against individual enemies you can also teleport them away (damaging them in the process).

Does anyone have any thoughts on bows vs. crossbows? I know you can't start with a crossbow, but what's the difference between the weapon types? Do both work with marksmanship skills?

Keep in mind that Loremaster also allows you to inspect the stats of a character/object on mouseover while holding CTRL. Higher levels give more info.
It will be very handy later on, at higher levels, because level 1 only seems to give current HP and sometimes AP. Once it starts giving strengths and weaknessess, its usefulness will expand greatly.
I believe it's based on your loremaster skill.
Also, this is still the #1 top seller, even ahead of perennial favorite DayZ.
I have a loremaster of 5 and not even lvl 2 monsters show up with anything but ?????
I think they should have changed the implementation slightly. Have loremaster level tied to the level of the enemy. So at loremaster 1 or 2 you should be able to get some good info on lvl 1 or 2 enemies. Otherwise it doesn't seem worth investing much at all.
I'm having the same problem, why hasn't it said anything?
I didn't even realize that! I was wondering why I could see exact HP counts on some enemies and not others.
I got Loremaster just for identification, I really hate not being able to immediately identify magical items (for free) in any game. Seems like I actually got a better deal on that skill point than I expected!

Your loremaster ability is tertiary to combat survival, and it is quickly outpaced by the level of the enemy. So, I don't think that sort of implementation would work at all.
Far as I can tell, it's a non-voiced text quip that appears over the character wearing them every once in a while. Everything that's I've seen so far suggests that it isn't very impressive, varied, or frequent. It's really disappointing.
Also, I've no idea where that gold converter thing is. I might have sold it thinking it was a regular gold cup... beyond that possibility, I don't think I've seen it.
At least the soundtrack is worth it. (as always)
Regarding ACTION POINTS:
Did a little experimenting.
Speed - base AP - start AP - round AP
6 - 7 - 7 - 6
7 - 7 - 8 - 7
8 - 7 - 8 - 7
9 - 7 - 9 - 8
10 - 7 - 9 - 8
11 - 7 - 10 - 9
Essentially you get +1 start and round AP per 2 points of Speed.
It may change later on with higher Speed.

Apologies if you've already done this, but I guess it's worthwhile just to make sure -- have you actually equipped the underwear on your character so it shows up on the paper doll? Additionally, I'm unsure whether the additional dialogue requires the equipped character to be the selected party member for it to proc.
Real life is being a complete obstacle to my D:OSing. I've only been able to spend an hour or so in the game so far. I think I've spent twenty times that amount since Monday reading D:OS threads, ha.
Thanks for this. Makes each point of speed quite a bit more valuable than if it was 0.33.

So far I prefer the bow and I believe they both are tied to the marksmanship skill.
From manual:
a crossbow does more damage than a regular bow and also has a higher critical chance, but its ideal range is lower than that of a bow, and it costs more Action Points to use.
I know! I'm not sure what to do with my mage character now. INT doesn't reduce your spell AP cost at all, but it increases the power/effectiveness of your spells...
I'm not sure how many AP higher level spells cost, but if they are in-line with 1st level spells it could be useful to get a few more AP so you can cast a 3 AP and a 6 AP spell right off the get-go.
You get a fixed amount of AP each round. If you save AP you will have them extra in the next turn. So if you get 6 AP per round and you save 4 in the next turn you'll have 10 to work with.
Thanks for this, I think I'll go with 7 speed for all my characters.
You get N points a turn. If you preserve M points, you'll have N+M in the next turn.
Unless N+M > C, where C is the maximum amount of action points a character can accumulate and depends on their constitution.
I got so much questions lol... /sigh
Should i choose to have AI for my companion? does it mean i won't be able to control her or??
I won't take AI for my main character, just wondering what to do for my second character in the character creation screen.
(whats kind of weird is that the only choices are either Loyal or Random)

Yeah I equiped it on my main character (the one I use at all times) to be sure to never miss the funnies, but well...I saw some lines popping over my head but I thought it was the characters talking.
You select them as an underwear option in character creation.

You should get them automagically by the time you fight against the three skeletons on the beach, right before the tutorial dungeon. That is, if you're talking about Zandalor's trunks. They'll equip on your belt slot (go figure?)
