It may well be that you can import the items over from BG1/TotSC to the very start of BG2 but hey, who wants that? Well if you do thats fair enough i guess but youre starting in a prison where everyone else has nothing. As for importing someone, well the whole point of the game in many respects is the character building of your PC. I just liked the idea of bringing him through from start to finish, the legal/ish* route. (*I remove the XP cap. For me XP earned is yours because you earned it. I dont like playing if my guy no longer progresses in levels.The transition from BG1/TotSC to BG2 removes any XP level advantage anyway). At the end of the day Baldurs Gate "the series" all in all is a trilogy. For me and my character, well, we just want to see it through to the bitter but highly enjoyable end.

It's bleedin dark down here, slippery too.
