Welcome to the forum. :slightly_smiling_face:

If you have a backup of your characters from before you made the choice you could delete the latest versions and replace them with those. Otherwise the only way to do it is move on to the next difficulty of the game when it becomes available and make sure you both choose the same faction then.

There is only 2 dungeons (Fort Haron, Tomb of Archon Barthollem) where the choice really matters in Multiplayer, you won’t be able to do these together without one of you getting bored. But imho it’s not a big deal, you can do the quests in Singleplayer really quickly if you want to tick them off your list. Or remove them from your quest list manually (these yellow buttons in the quest log interface) until you get to the next difficulty.

But if you don’t wanna wait until the next difficulty playthrough to set things straight, there might be a technical solution.

Quest data is stored in this file

C:\Users\your name\Documents\My Games\Grim Dawn\save\main\_character name\levels_world001.map\Normal\quests.gdd

If your “accident” just happened recently and you haven’t played more since then, try replacing the quest file with the backup file quests.gdd.bak.

If that doesn’t help, try copying over your girlfriend’s file to your computer, or the other way round. Just make sure to create manual backups of your entire save folder first before trying anything like that.

Edit: Not sure where faction reputation data is stored, you might have to correct that with a 3rd party tool like GDstash.

My wife and I had this same problem! It seems odd they’d make one faction quest line able to continue but not the other. I guess I have no choice but to abandon the sidequest line entirely. Very sad

So if you just leave the game and turn in the quest and rejoin every time it works…
