Hello Fellow BG players! Im new and i need some help!
So... I first played BG when i was 12 years old. Didn't even know english back then so i didn't get far.
Now, I played BG:Enhanced Edition and finished it successfully this time. But i had to format my PC so now that i want to play BG2: Enhanced Edition i lost the save. How does that affect me ?? If i had the player, would i have the levels attribute stats, items or gold ?? Does BG2 give me anything from that or i just would start from scratch in both ways ???
Anyways, i had an archer and he was more than decent to my eyes... and i knew some of the companions i had to pick (remembered stuff from my last playthough when i was young). But i know nothing about BG2! I do not want spoilers just so tips about what character to make and what companions to pick
Moreover, after completing the shadows of amn can i continue playing throne of baal with the same character ??
Lastly, i wanted to know what happened to the Pits1 as i didnt finish it
(Promise will finish Pits2 
)
Sorry for the long post and thanks for the help bros!
GL to all new players out there.
BG is an awesome game!

1) A few particularly items you might have picked up in BG EE. The Helm of Balduran is the only one that I kept using for long in BG 2, so it's not too important. You lose everything else anyway... Gold and equipment.
2) You gain the benefit of any Ability Tomes you got from BG EE. Say your Elven Archer started with 19 Dex, got a Tome to boost it to 20 Dex. You cannot create a new BG 2 EE Elven Archer with 20 Dex. This is only important if you are a powergamer. You certainly don't need superhuman characters to do well in the game.
3) If your Charname is a mage, he/she gets to keep her spell book, so will have some extra spells compared to a fresh BG 2 EE character.
4) If you completed TotSC quests in BG EE, u will probably have hit the level cap, and will start BG 2 EE with about 70K extra xp. However, because u get so much xp in BG 2, this becomes irrelevant very quickly.
If you really miss the character, I think you could probably use EE keeper to recreate him/her fully in BG1:EE (so long as you can remember the stats) then export and import into BG2:EE.
@Heinrich1988 you get the helm of Balduran even if you don't import from BG1
