Game's a buggy as hell mess. MP with my partner has had many, many bugs. Until this patch many spells were straight up wrong in the tool tip. Unacceptable stuff, imho. Reviewers have been way too kind.
Edited to add
Played again tonight. In a fifteen minute span of playing, we had four significant bugs. First my dialogue got bugged and didn't get the speech choices (my partner did, but I was leading the conversation so that didn't matter). After a quick load that was fixed. We move to a new zone and suddenly I have a characters outlined permanently. Check settings, it's set to off. Quick load doesn't fix it, quit to menu doesn't fix it. Have to completely restart the game.
Then I listened in on one of my partner's conversations and when it was done, I was randomly stuck inside a box. Quick load later, we're going along and after climbing down a ladder my partner is teleported into a box.
Like... Honestly, I don't believe anyone who says they are playing MP bug free. This shit happens every play session for us.
Wyll is completely borked. You can google wyll multiplayer for more details, other people have had the same issue. I don't want to give too much spoiler away for anyone else reading.
There were 1st level spells that had missing info or flat out wrong info. This is content players are immediately going to interact with.
There's a major NPC whose story line gets broken beyond repair in multiplayer if you don't do things just right. This is only a few hours into the game.
Scope is not an excuse for bugs and I'm tired of people making that argument. If they couldn't deliver this scope as a polished game, maybe they should have reduced the scope.
I'm not interested in comparing BG3 to other games. I'm interested in judging it on its own merit. And I've encountered far more than two bugs. Plenty of games across 20 years have been released with fewer bugs than this game, what an absolutely absurd comment.
They are literally noted in the most recent patch notes. Shield had the wrong duration (until long rest, VERY different to how it actually works), Warding Bond made no mention at all that the caster also takes damage (pretty key detail). Many spells didn't have listed ranges or areas, I haven't looked to see if those are all fixed now.
