How do i kick my coop friends character out of my party?

So my friend dropped in to play with me co-op for a bit and made a character on my session. We played for a couple hours then he left. I now have a character in the party that they made with no way to remove it for another of the origin characters. From what i can tell im just stuck with this character in the party for the rest of the game unless i want to change my save file. Anyone else find a work around for this?

Sadly there are no workarounds for it. It's a well-known bug that apparently has been debated by people to be an intentional game feature, which is stupid. Hopefully they fix it soon.

ok thanks for the heads up, hopefully a mod fixes this at some point.

I think it is feature, because friends are supposed to be allays in the party... And because of that it has not been removed.

When I play with my friends, we use a separate game instance so we do not have that problem.

I doubt it's a feature. Not being able to remove them is most likely just a bug, it will get fixed in time.

You’re supposed to keep 2 dif saves. One for solo and one for coop / MP. Its the same as in Div. (This) is the feature part. If you “start” a game as coop you cannot ever remove them. Thats by design

There is however a bug too though. If you were already mid game and they joined “BUT” it then asked them to make a new char anyway. That should not have happened and yea its a bug. They shouldve been prompted to take over one of your chars instead. When they patch it you can pretty much guarantee that the fix is to start a new save sadly

i know why people would argue that its intended but you cant argue with the fact that you should be able to send them to camp like you can every other companion. there is no reason that it is not allowed and is most likely a bug

Definitely don't play with someone who will flake out on you and quit

Its the flagging in their coding. Div was the same. If a character is marked with a crown icon, ever, aka “player created” it stays that way and they cant be removed. Not a bug. It was annoying doing the spiders kiss quest multiple times in div due to this for the auto reraise item

At the same time, they kept it this way so players COULD abuse it by making themselves 2 custom characters at the start. Then simply “disconnect” the 2nd controller after, because some people hated origin characters (customs were way stronger until the mirror came along)
