There is a way for you to keep your items without resorting to a multiplayer game. Here's how: when the game begins with the cut scene of Irenicus and yourself pause the game before you hear your character scream out in pain. You have to do this as soon as the game loads. If you paused it in time you can now acsess your characters inventory. You will notice all the items are still there except gem bags/scroll cases/bags of holding(you can't keep these). Put all the items you want to keep on the floor and unpause the game. The cutscene will then play and after it is finished you can pick up your items off the floor, viola! Now you can begin with all your nifty items!
