Just got the beta, fired it up, aaaand... where in the world is the Pre-Generate Character button? Why was it removed?

    I noticed too. Maybe because there's still an "export" button in the character sheet in-game.

    It's not the same, though. The Pre-generate button allowed you to pre-generate a completely "fresh" character, while the Export-button exports all data from a character that you've already started using.

    @Dee: I'm assuming hdnainaosshl is a spambot.

    Yes, but if you export right after starting the game, you get a "fresh" character, don't you? Well, other than having a wooden quarterstaff, I don't think there's any difference. It's not that I don't want the pregenerate button back, I'm just saying there's still a workaround.

    I think the amount of GP you start with is set for a exported character as well, while a pre-generated one would get a fresh roll when starting the game.

    Pre-Generate Character needs to return. Creating a new game to export a new character is an unnecessary workaround.

    You can still create a charname when in a multiplayer screen, but I agree I miss the convenience of this old feature.

    Sometimes I'd just pop open Baldur's Gate for the sake of rolling a character. It bothers me that this feature was removed.

    This. It's why I brought it up in the post here, but no reply. :(

    We'll try to get to this one by the time we hit Phase IV. There's some other wonkiness going on that can probably be fixed here as well.

    Alright. Thank you very much, Dee.
