Is there any updates on this? This is a huge pain point for me and my friends. We hated the "play as companions" in a friends game in DOS2. Its not fun. I want to be able to use my character to drop in and out of a friends game. This Makes Multiplayer viable. Just playing in someone else's game is meh at best with static companions. I know there are some people on this forum that complain about people being over-leveled, but in a game where you can add mods and cheat engines, who cares if a legit character helps friends out with gear and leveling. Its not a competitive game, its a video game. I want to play this game many times over and the import/export is the only way I feel I can truly enjoy multiple playthroughs. I can gift items to baby characters. I can add my grizzled veteran character as a mentor to my next playthrough as a companion. Please don't respond with BS about "the character is bound to decisions in the world" in a game where there is already multiplayer with the second player not mattering what so ever. Its happened in many similar games and I bet someone is working a on mod to do this. I feel without this feature this game isn't going to do as well as they hope. Its a big deal. Out of the 20 people I know that are interested in this game, I am the only one that bought it. That's 19 people that are willing to buy, once we know this feature is installed.
