Fully Created Parties

For you veterans of these forums please forgive all the threads. I've just recently returned back to this amazing series. I've played thruogh it countless different times. But was unsure if you can create a full party in BG EE and bring that entire party with you to BG2 or is it just the First (Main character)?

Essentially you think of the must have classes (Dmg absorder/tank, Rogue(Traps/chests), Healer of sorts(cleric)) outside of that you are left to create and have fun with 3 damage dealers or hybrids. So This play through I made a full party instead of bringing along the characters from the story. Not thinking it through I put my Tank as the first slotted character (Main).

Is he the only one I can take through to BG2?

    nope, you can take the whole band, I usually do this for about 80% or so for my playthroughs ( since I love power gaming I made my own team of 6 quite a lot)

    so what you have to do is ( or at least this is what I do) is when you get to the final confrontation, export all of your characters manually ( the game does this when you beat the game, but sometimes I find that it doesn't do it all that well in some cases)

    so for example, I would export my first guy as : CHAR0001, second guy: CHAR0002 ect.. you can export with any name you like, but I just do it this way to I can keep track of all my guys and gals

    then what you do is, is you go into your character folders ( which if you have windows, it will be in your documents folder inside the BGEE folder) then copy all the CHAR files ( and bios if you want but its not necessary, pretty much only necessary to bring the bios along if you made custom ones for those CHARs) and then paste them into your BG2EE characters folder, then start up a bg2 multiplayer game, and import each character for each slot, then whamo

    also to note, if you want to play your fully made team without the hassle of the multiplayer layout, save your multiplayer team game, then copy paste that save file into the single player save folder ( again found in the documents folder in the appropriate game BGee, bg2ee etc.. ) and then wham, now you have your multiplayer team in a single player format, so then you don't have to keep going through all the multiplayer protocol nonsense

    happy gaming :)

    You are the man, thank you so much for taking the time to lay that out for me. It is such a breath of fresh air to find a forum of mature gamers. I have played BG since its creation and we had all those CD's you had to keep putting in ;p. Yet sadly never joined this forum until just recently.

    Since then I have been playing most major MMO's pretty heavily and the online gaming community just continues to degrade year over year (or I'm just getting to old for MMO's Not sure).

    Thanks again for the information.

    When making a team of 6 for the the entire play thru consider what eventual gear you might want on each guy. IN SoD there are some race restricted and kit restricted items. In BG1 and SoD there aren't any real god katanas and hardly any at all period. so devoting stuff to them early really doesn't make since for a play thru IMO.
