Which is why I added my last sentence about the community taking part.
If, for example, we get a post explaining that saves won't work because the inventory has been revamped - I for one would give it a few hours to try and transfer my character with an empty inventory.
I understand a lot (maybe even most) people are well content with just starting new characters. But I have about 30 hours of continuous co-op, which is harder to achieve than single player, and continuing the story from where we left off would be much easier than restarting.
I'm not saying Larian needs to drop ANYTHING to do that, I completely agree that current issues are more important.
