We've done that as well, we're in both playthroughs just getting to act 2 has been fun, he choose Beast and Fane while I had my own created character, I enjoy playing with friends more then alone. My boyfriend in our group will change his voice and commentate in the game for his character super halarious to hear. Our other friend does it as well, it's funny hearing over the headset, my boyfriend does like a Scottish accent and what seems to be dwarf talk usually, our other friend has a slightly more high pitched voice so it's funny hearing them more or less act it out.
