OR, the closest thing to what you want to do could be achieved via Baldur's Gate: EE or the Neverwinter Nights series. In these games you can host the campaign, locally or online, and you each can make characters and essentially experience the campaign in the same world at the same time, doing the same quests with the same NPCs yadda yadda dooda dada.
TL;DR if that is the experience you want, Dragon Age won't provide it. Just move on to a different game that migh lol.
Ew, I won't touch SWTOR with a ten foot pole. A F2P MMO experience is not what I'm looking for at all. Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter are also not what I want.
The "multiplayer option" in DA:I that you mention is tacked on and horrid and offers nothing of the RPG experience of the actual game. You don't even get to use your own character. It is so far from the heart of the game, it's almost insulting you'd suggest that as a legitimate option for someone wanting the story in co-op mode.
I disagree completely that DA would crumble if its story involved more than one character. I mean look - you already run around with other characters. It is NOT that hard to make one of those another player. The whole argument against it stinks. Move on to a different game? Sorry, but having a co-op campaign isn't going to sully your precious single-player experience. You don't want to do it? Then you choose not to do it.

It would become incredibly complicated if they tried to replicate the same freedoms(or close) for both characters.
They don't have to replicate the same freedom. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a particular character take the main helm.
TO be quite honest, I don't know why you're being so snippy with people who took time and tried to give you suggestions that you might enjoy. We were just trying to help. And honestly NwN and Baldur's Gate were EXACTLY what you were looking for since it's a co-op campaign that you can both make characters in and do every quest together as you would as a solo player.
Also, SWTOR is a good game. I only play it when I sub because I don't like the restrictions. It may not be exactly what you were looking for, but Dragon Age isn't co op storyline and there's nothing any of us can do about it XD.
I'm sorry you didn't like the suggestions, but you didn't have to be so sassy about it lol. If you don't have anything nice to say, probably best not to say anything at all because it just came off as REALLY rude to the people in this thread..
