Sacred 2 -- co-op offline questions

On the recommendation of some people here, I picked up Sacred 2 to play co-op mode with my wife offline. It looks like a lot of fun but co-op offline mode seems to have some big drawbacks.

1. Currently you can't trade between two players playing co-op -- seriously? I'm sure this is supposedly an anti-cheating mechanism of some sort, but it's almost a dealbreaker for us. I did see that UK patch 1.04 came out on the 18th and includes this feature. Is there a patch for the US version that fixes this "feature" or any word on when they may fix it? Hopefully soon, since this is one of the sillier things I've seen!

2. Someone mentioned in another thread here that the second player in a co-op game can't save his character. Again, serious deal-breaker -- which would really stink since we bought this game to play together, not online. Is this really the case and if so, any word that they'll change it? I'd hate for us to start playing and only be able to save one character! It's bad enough when she picks up armor that only my character can use, or vice versa.

Thanks,

Arturus

Does anyone have any info? Sounds like there's been a bug in the UK patch, which may be why we aren't seeing this hit the US yet, and I haven't heard anything else online.

You can save the the 2nd player ill try to get a link that shows you how to do it as i dont have the game But i think you have to create a player on her account and start a new game on your account and then you add her account somehow in the game options

HI,

You can save and the second player. When as the second player you hit start it asks you to log in as a user. So hit accept and then it will give you the option to add a new char. or at that time you can pick a saved char.

You can play 2 player offline and save - but it's a bit tricky. Here is the link on how to do it.

I think now you can trade between characters too.
