Multiplayer Dialogue

After finishing BG3 together, my friend and I are on our first play-through of Original Sin 2. It’s excellent so far, but our biggest stumbling block is engaging with ongoing dialogue.

Unlike BG3, which automatically inserted us into character interactions when it wasn’t our own MC, we have to manually eavesdrop on conversations in DOS2. It requires keeping our MCs close, letting each other know that we’re about to engage, and checking to see that the other is eavesdropping before allowing the dialogue to progress. It’s drawing away from the otherwise smooth gameplay.

Is there some trick we’re missing? An options box we have to check? I’d really love to get automatically inserted into her character conversations.
