If someone could E mail me how to play a game with my own characters without getting online I would really be in your debt. That's my only real problem with BG2 I want my own people not people they force on us.

errr... are you talking about haveing a multiplayer game and create your own powerful party but not connecting into the internet? simple, go to the multiplayer option and choose for you protocols tc/ip setting and create your own game... once you have created a new game... create your own members and check them to continue playing the game.

I would also suggest that after you start your multiplayer game, with the characters you want, save it and quit. Then, move the file from your multi-save folder to the save folder. You can then simply load it as a single player game and continue from there as a 100% single player game.
