Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Split Quicksave for multiplayer and Singleplayer

Please split these into different save files. Me and my wife played for hours, over-relying on quicksaves and then I played a bit of single player and overwrote everything. So we lost pretty much everything because I didn't think about it. WAY too easy to do and they should be totally different quicksave queues.

Really bad user experience even if it was our fault

You can create multiple profiles to keep saves from different playthroughs separate.
The number of quick and auto saves kept can be increased in the gameplay section of the options.

Co-op is drop-in/drop-out, so a game can be started as single player or multiplayer, and switched back and forth.

Theoretically it would be possible to add a unique code during character creation, though, and check that when overwriting saves, to pop up a warning if there was a difference.

You can do a lot of things to prevent it. But you shouldn't have a player find that out the hard way ever, which is why I'm making this suggestion.

The fact that is HAS happened is an extremely bad experience for 2 people, and the fact that it's happened once means it will happen again. Even if it's drop in dropout it there should be guards preventing this accidentally happening.

a warning should be a bare minimum, I would say ideally you should keep the shuffle the last quicksave of a specific instance to a independent save whenever you save a new instance.
