How does he die?

I just start the game and he dies i dont even get to see the character he dies before anything happens

I imported him through a BG1 character file, would've it been better if imported him through the final save?

He shoudnt be dying. not even if he had 30 hps, he shoudnt be dying. try loading his character in Shadow/Gate Kepeer (you have a choice here since you have the character in both games) and checking out hi HP - it might be corrupeted. does he have any weird equipment or such.

and does the game work if you create a new character?

And it is better to import through a final save.

I've always exported the characters from the games to the Char.file, and then moved them from there to the Char. file in BGII with windows explorer. I think that you can get them through the game, but I can't remember how. None of the hit points should matter, as the game automatically boosts the char to where it should be starting out.
At least that's my understanding.

Thankfully i could load get my import my character through the final save it must of just been a buggy character file, but is there anywhere tht i can download a patch which make the paper dolls on th inventory screen go back to the one from the original BG coz these ones just look ugly
