This also means you’re basically scheduling your play time with the game in order to progress with your friend. In the end, this may be a good thing as progression through the campaign and any experience/loot you acquire is only saved to the host’s game, meaning anyone who joins you will not reap the rewards of their efforts back on their side.

Four players are supported through mods to the game, using the Divinity Toolkit that comes with it, but so far there aren’t any mods with that feature.
