Got put in wrong order when doing a core story co-op playthrough?

[Wyrdern.4092]

So yesterday I made a new character with the specific intention to play through the entire story with a friend with matching story choices in character creation. All went well until reaching the step where you have to choose permanently which Order to join (Defending the Keep). At this point my friend chose Order of Whispers, I was not given any choice here and the game never warned me otherwise so I assumed It would just put me with them and I accepted credit for the mission. However once doing the follow up mission I was not given the option to get credit, turns out I was instead placed with the Vigil and therefore I could no longer gain progress from doing the story together.. What should I do now? Is there any workaround for this? (short of remaking the character and redoing everything I did up to that point so I can choose the correct order)

Your story will merge again in a few chapters, don't worry. It gets more and more linear over time, with it becoming entirely linear in the Living World seasons.

 

Just enjoy experiencing both storylines for now.

That's odd.  If this was a new character that had not played through any of the Personal Story before, your character should have stayed on the same line when accepting the friend's choices. 

Usually, the lament here on the forum is from players that do accept another's choice and are moved to that choice's Personal Story line.
