BGI Character Imports to BGII

IdiotRogue · 01-31-2001, 12:29 AM

As I am (finally) nearing the end of BGI, I have questions about importing my character. He's a pretty fair fighter (18/98; 18; 18; 11; 12; 10) and I think I'd like to dual him as a thief. If I do, will the thief kits be available to me or will I have to choose a fighter kit and settle for a "straight" thief? I know from the manual that you may only have one kit per character but can't figure out if I'd have a "default" kit with an import.

This has probably been asked much earlier and I apologize. Too tired (lazy?) tonight to wade through posts.

PS: Hope my update to my "Rikard Pox" thread proves I am no antimagite, just a poor excuse for a mage... no offense to anyone, okay???

You can choose a fighter kit and settle for a "straight" thief. There is no such thing as a default kit, you get to choose from berserker, wizard slayer, kensai, and of course, fighter.

Also to import the character, just use windows explorer, copy the character's file (ie .chr file) from BGI's character folder to BGII's character folder before starting a new game. Enjoy!

Thanks for the info. BTW, I actually figured out the import stuff on my own . Mayhaps there is hope for me yet! LOL

I probably phrased my question poorly but your answer seems to settle it, Accord. I couldn't figure out (but suspected) that if I started with an imported fighter, I would have to choose a fighter kit which means no thief kit. Drat, I was hoping to combine one of the cool thief kits with this butt-kicking fighter.
