Importing Team from BGI

Sorcerer Dave · 04-09-2001, 01:25 PM

Can you bring your >>>TEAM<<< over from BG 1. Not just your PC but NPC as well ? Also if you can will it affect the story ? ie: You bring over Jaheria's husband.

No, only PC can be imported from BG1.

Jaheiras husband is already in BG2. Unfortunately he's the mutilated carcass near the end of the first dungeon. A lot of BG1 char's are in BG2 already (albeit with different portraits.) It isn't possible to "export" the NPC's from BG1 as far as I'm aware but it is possible to use Shadowkeeper to match the existing portraits in BG2 to match those of BG1. It should also be possible to create the BG1 NPC's including their portraits with Shadowkeeper and then introduce them to your game in a multi-player single user game.

One love, peace.

Well....I guess you can always use the CreateCreature Codes to add them to your party (provided you have or can find the code for the NPC).

Thats why I asked. If hes dead on a table and you bring him in what would happen ?

Hi Accord.

I wasn't thinking along those lines. I was just thinking it should be possible to roll a character and adjust the stat's, name, portrait and spells etc to match those of your favourite NPC's from BG1. All the BG1 portraits are available within Shadowkeeper if that's your preference (I had to match them to keep my niece and nephew happy as they had an affinity with jaheira and Imoen and were most displeased that they looked different in BG2.)

Or am I way off the mark here?

------------------
One love, peace.

Personally I don't see why you can't just do as I've described above Dave and call the bloke Khalid. I don't think that would cause problems.

OH!....Did you still want Jaheira and Khalid to interract, that would be a different kettle of fish entirely.

One love, peace.

Heehee...don't worry Charlie, I wasn't implying anything.
I don't think Khalid's character exist in the BG2, or maybe I did not look hard enough using Infinity Explorer. You can always create an artificial Khalid, but that is just another PC(ie. not special party interaction), and I think Sorcerer Dave actually wants the "real" Khalid in the game. (Let me know if I am putting words in your mouth Sorcerer Dave

)
My apologies if my comments led to any misinterpretation/misunderstandings.

Accord my friend,

there is no way in the world I would even contemplate that you were implying anything. For what it's worth I've always found you to be one of the most helpful knowledgeable guys on the board. It's only through the help and assistance from guys like yourself in the past that enables me to sometimes assist others in some small measure now. No apology from you will ever be required.

Cheers mate.

One love, peace.
