Bringing items over to BG2 from SOD...the secret revealed

brunardo

Anyone able to bring items over from SOD to BG2EE...one I was thinking of is the secret revealed and using it on a one of many liches (or demi liches) in BG2EE and workng?

That item is not available in vanilla BG2:EE. You can bring it over if you're playing EET however. It appears to work on any lich in the game (but not on demiliches).

If you want an anti-lich weapon to bring from the first game(s), The Burning Earth from Durlag's does the trick nicely at +4 vs undead.

Are there SOD items that import into BG2 or otherwise appear there without mods?

Fardragon

Yes.

There is a specific, predetermined list of items that can be carried over from BG1/SoD to BG2 as well as predetermined locations within BG2 where those items will be. (Because of your "situation" at the beginning of BG2, it wouldn't have made sense for them to be in your initial inventory.)

Does EET allow you to keep all the items from BG1/SoD?

brunardo

Thanks @argent77 yeah may use EET as should be allowed to carry weapons as a couple liches I can save them for....yeah burning earth isnt too bad @magarity carry it over before

Not by default. All inventory items are collected in a hidden and inaccessible container, but you'll need a mod (or a simple console command) to gain access to it.
You can circumvent it however by storing items in containers yourself since you can travel to BG1 and SoD areas after leaving Chateau Irenicus.

brunardo

which console command?

argent77

It depends on where you want to access the content. If you're still in Chateau Irenicus then the following command will place the items into the container behind the picture in the room with starting equipment:
C:Eval('MoveContainerContents("AR0602*K#ImportContainer", "AR0602*Picture1")')
If you left the dungeon already then the following command will place the items into a table at the Copper Coronet (near Bernard the barkeeper):
C:Eval('MoveContainerContents("AR0602*K#ImportContainer", "AR0406*Table5")')

Awesome thanks alot @argent77 as will be using this on my next run

If I remember correctly, k4thos ran into difficulties with the scripts related to K#ImportContainer though.

A good solution imo is to put every single of your items in containers(manually) before the transition, save the game. Move on with the transition then console in (or EEkeeper) your containers, everything will be as is in those. I tried consoling in the K#ImportContainer but it didn't have much compared to what I had before.

brunardo

yeah thats another option for sure, maybe as back up plan just in case.

GrimLefourbe

By containers, I meant bag of holdings and stuff, you're most likely gonna have all you need on you by the end of SoD.

brunardo

Yeah that worked for me from my saved game from BGEE to SOD with bag of holding
