Starting this post with hopes of many discussions of players character creations and choices made throughout your campaign. What race and class are you choosing? Will be playing solo, with friends, or both? Are you planning on going evil, good, or neutral? Have you played the previous Baldurs Gate games and/or pen and paper D&D?
I keep switching choices. I'm leaning sword bard, tempest cleric, or shadow monk. Not sure on race as im letting my daughter create my characters race and look.

I think Wasteland 3 is pretty much the ultimate example of how to handle shared stats and dialogue in co-op RPGs, so I really hope they take a page out of their book. I hope you'll be able to get your daughter to play with
