[Windows] Created/Exported Characters Do Not Retain Custom Biographies
1. Start Game
2. Choose Icewind Dale
3. Choose Single Player
4. Choose Pre-Generate Character
5. Create Character and Customize Biography by clicking Biography button
6. Select Export (Or just Start Game)
OR
1. Start Game
2. Choose Icewind Dale
3. Choose Single Player
4. Choose New Game
5. Delete a Pre-Made Character
4. Select Create
5. Create Character and Customize Biography by clicking Biography button
6. Select Export (Or just Start Game)
Observed:
Characters do not retain a custom biography. This occurs if you create them either of the ways described above. When you enter the game, their biography is gone, and the default biography replaces it. Once in game, you can enter a biography by using character customization, click "SAVE", and it will be retained in that save log, however upon exporting the character, the character will again lose the biography entered.
Expected:
Biographies should be able to be saved as part of an exported character template. Custom biographies should be retained during character creation.
--UPDATE--
Found a bit more unusual behavior with biographies related to the above issue:
If you create an entire party of characters, once they are in game, they obviously lose their biographies as described above. If you then begin entering biographies again manually one at a time for them, after creating a few if you go back to the first or second character you already had completed, you'll find their biography is gone again! Also, if you do a biography for one and then go on to complete another you haven't done yet, he'll sometimes have the biography of the first character you already entered.
Also, I am noticing strange placeholder text in some of these biography slots. Some say "This space intentionally left blank" some have the default biography for their class, and other say something like "Base THACO is 0."
After going through my characters and entering, saving, entering, saving, I finally got all characters to take their custom biographies in the save log (however they still don't hold them on export).
