It might well have been the beloved beverage but last night while playing BGII I thought I saw on one of the quicksaves that BGII characters will be able to be ported into NWN? Can someone confirm this?

Egad, as if I needed even more encouragement to play the living shite out of BGII! The possibilities of my character in 3d makes me unreasonably weak at the knees.

... Quiet sounds of drooling ...

yeah you saw this.

the same here

I thought I noticed that too.
*Sigh* Only 3-5 months to wait. :/

I saw this too, the big question is, when does it get released.

By the looks of it thought - any BG II imported characters will be 'non-vault' characters and hence not rated by the official NWN system. I'm dissappointed by this but not entirely surprised - the conversion must have been real messy to ensure validity I guess. That's probably one of the major contributing factors to my decision not to play through BG II again, just not worth it for the future.

The idea is, it's not exactly true to A&D to have thousands of level 30 odd mages etc. running around. Normally even a twelfth level character is pretty impressive, and they can't have everyone that hard or they'll have to start substituting dragons for kobolds.

... although that would be quite fun ...

I disagree with Mortis Metacarpus.8th lvl characters are rare (at least the way we play,they normal get too hard about 6th/7th lvl and retire).We do retain some old highg level favourites but prefer the threat of actually being killed by the monsters.However since 3rd Ed was written for power gamers the monsters are now more dangerous.I'll still play NWN though even if the only humans with beards are wizards(I hope otherwise, how I detested BG,IWD and BGII suffering from an infestation of the crue cut clan).Real heroes are rock hard and look it!
