I'm gonna feel really stupid I'm sure, but...
I just got the game Sunday (how about that! USPS delivering on a Sunday! whodathunkit?) anyway, after doing the " do I have the most current drivers?" hopscotch, the game was up and running complete with the latest International & English patches installed ( in that order ).
I of course was enthused about importing my dyslexic fighter/sushi chef, Trebor, from BG1. I clicked on "import" and got a option window that says, "Select the type of file (BG1 or BG2) to import from" with the options: "Character File", "Saved Game", and "Cancel" as options. When I clicked "Character File" I could only access pre-generated characters. When I clicked "Saved Game", I get a screen that says I can access any previous BG1 or BG2 character. BUT!!! But, the only "lit" option here is the "Back" button.
THAT was yesterday...today I figured I try to manually copy the auto-saved game file from BG1 and place it in the BG2 saved game file. Viola! That appears to have solved the problem as I can now access good ol' Trebor, though it was without his trusty Ginsu knives.
My question...Is that the way it was supposed to go? I mean, I saw no mention of having to do a manual file copy for importing. Did I miss something?
Oh...and while I'm here...would it be better to run the game with one or both patches? (International vs English Patches
Well thanx for reading this so far. And even a bigger thanx to those who respond.
