Question on Co-Op Character Progress

[Mordliss]

Hey, all so this is my first post and ive been reading that the their is no "Bring my character to your game" type system in place. However my question is lets say the following example:

 

My fiancee and I buy the game,

I host and am Lucas, she joins in as Katarina.

We get 2 hours into the game, and she has items and such and I found neat items and such.

When SHE LEAVES my game

I stop playing, and dont progress any further.

 

I understand all of this up to this point.

 

If she REJOINS my game, and picks Katarina again, is it the same Katarina that she left?

 

Or are all her items/abilities reset and she just gets whatever the computer gives her???

 

Thanks in advance for the help on this clarification.

 

 

Basically I understand that the Host is the only one that saves the game, but does the host save the game including his character and any of his friends characters as they are when he saves. So that if a group of people wanted to play together, and they stopped and started at the same time always, they would always have the characters they built during that play through, provided that the host always hosts???

She will keep the same equipment/abilities she had when you saved the game .

Oh so, in essence my fiancee and I could play through the entire story while keeping both of our characters built/equipped the way we save them at...

 

So we could both enjoy the story mode with "Our" characters together, we just could never bring them into another game?

 

If thats the case, then thats not that big of a deal.

 

PS: How sure of this are you? Are you almost 100% sure that she would retain her abilities/items from the save that the Host saves?

The save file is tied to story as are the characters for that file. You cannot have YOUR character. It is just the character you choose to start with and then whomever joins you may pick one of the three other characters. The items you find during this playthrough are saved just like any other game but they are a part of the save file for that game.

This is exactly the case. 100% confirmed by devs.

Just so you know, control of your other character when your co-op buddy isn't in goes to you(The AI takes over but you can do the equipping and levelupping) . So you can progress the storyline without her and she can come back with a souped up character as you progress.
