How Can I Make Our Multiplayer Run Smooth for a First-Time Player?

-

I’ve played through the game several times and even beaten Hardcore Mode, but I’ve never tried multiplayer. I’m excited to introduce my friend to the game, but she’s brand new to both it and D&D mechanics. I want her to feel in control while I support her. Should she ‘host’ the game, or does it not matter? And how can I avoid taking over the gameplay accidentally? Any tips for ensuring a smooth multiplayer experience would be appreciated!

Honestly, it doesn’t really matter who hosts the game, so I’d suggest you take the reins on hosting. Just make sure she gets to be the one leading the party—like initiating conversations and exploring first. That way, she’ll feel more in control. Let her shine!

That makes sense! So I should probably back off and let her start dialogues, right? Should she also go first into rooms to trigger those conversations? Asking because I’m totally new to multiplayer.
