This may seem long winded, but it really only takes a few minutes, the time
is spent creating the NPC !!
You can do this at ANY point during your single player game.
1-Follow the command prompt C:/Programmes/BlackIsle/BG2 (or what ever is
your designated path to your bg2 directory)
2-Locate the folder named "save"
3-Open this folder and highlight your latest saved game (you can start bg2
and save at the first possible moment in Iranicus' dungeon if u want, but
you do need to have a saved game in the single player mode) It will have a
load of numbers in front of it followed by the save name
4- Copy this folder (COPY DO NOT CUT!!)
5- close this window and open the file marked "mpsave"
6- open mpsave and right click your mouse button. Select paste option
7- begin a multi-player game (usually using serial when it asks for your
game type) >connect>create game>load game
8- you will be able now to load your single player save in the multiplayer
game (dont worry, its safe)
9-check all the Tick icons to assign control of all your party to yourself
10- begin the session(start the game)
11- Click on your main character, select "Reform Party"
12- Remove an NPC if u wish to make room for the one you are about to create
13- click the multiplayer icon on the left hand side menu (its the one that
isnt normally there during single play)
14- select "modify party" then "create"
15- create your NPC the same way you did your main character (whatever you
want its up to you, i wanted a good aligned mage)
16- when this is done, click the tick icon next to your new character to
assign him to your control
17- You now return to the game, and will see your new NPC in your party,
same as in any multiplayer game.... now here is the trick!!!!
18- Save your game (give it a specific name i use "NPC is entering my single
player mode" so i will recognise it)
19- Quit the game back to your desktop
20- Open the BG2 directory again (where we started)
21- Open the "mpsave" folder
22- locate your save game folder ("NPC is entering my single player mode"
for me!) and right click the mouse, select COPY (NOT CUT!!) and left click
23- close mpsave and open "save" folder (where we started)
24- right click the mouse and select PASTE
25- close the BG2 directory, start the game in single player, and VOILA!!!!
you get a customised NPC to call your own with out all the multiplayer crap
26- you can make virtually unlimited NPC's this way, simply import or export
them from your game
27- DO NOT CHEAT!!! This is NOT a cheat, it is a way to customise your game
play and equalise out the race/alignment inequalities in the NPC range
supplied
28- Enjoy the game, that what its there for, good hunting!
