here's what i do. i make 2 or 3 people in multiplayer. and start a game. then save it. then close the game. now open your bg2 folder, open the mpsave folder. and find the file for your game. (the name you saved the game as will be part of the file name.) copy this file and paste a copy into your "saved" folder.
now when you play the game. you can pick single player and load your multigame.
this will make it much faster.
