Co-op doesn't actually save? Thanks for the heads up.
First off, I absolutely love this game! Brilliant ****ing beautiful game. I bought this and DA: Inquisition thinking that the latter would be played more, but that is just not the case. I'm having way too much fun with this game.
The problem is the Co-op. Me and a buddy of mine bought the game, unlocked co-op, and played together until the next morning after the release day. Had a blast!
We liberated every bell tower and outpost we could with the are we had unlocked so far. We got so many damn collectibles in the midst of all the hunting and madness. I thought it was really cool to be able to achieve this all with a friend at your side. Too bad NONE OF THE PROGRESS SAVED.
I don't understand how this happens. Nobody is going to play co-op if the things you do don't even matter unless you are hosting. The game even asks you if you want to save progress at the beginning of the co-op experience. I even received trophies throughout the night. I log on the next day to continue the campaign offline and find the I have like 2 collectibles and only the beginning area un-shrouded.
My experience with this game has been extremely tarnished. There was no indication that only your xp and guns/crafting would be saved (what the ****?) so I never thought, "well maybe I shouldn't spend 12 hours putting in work for platinum on this game because none of it going to matter when I go back to my campaign."
This is very frustrating and needs to be fixed. Currently there is no reason to play co-op unless you don't care about your progress and just want to screw around. I'm so unmotivated to play through everything I did for a second time.
PLEASE FIX THIS
