I had just started to play Divinity: Original Sin 2 on my PC with my wife and was barely into it.

One thing I found really odd is that I am having a conversation with a NPC and my wife can completely ignore it - matter of fact, the default is she ignores it unless she listens in. I thought this was poorly set up - how does she know what we are doing? Does she have to repeat everything person I talk to, or follow me doggedly around?

Or...is it actually that this is working as intended. Meaning, even though we are on the same game, she and I can do totally different things and work together when we want to...or not, as we wish. Or is it in the middle somewhere?
