Siege of Dragonspear Character Import not bringing gear

themazingness

I am trying to import a character to Siege of Dragonspear, but gear does not appear. I tried it both with a Baldur's Gate character and a Black Pits character with the same result. (I'm intending to play with the Black Pits character).

I did get gear to transfer if I import my character into a new Baldur's Gate game Then I import to Siege of Dragonspear from a Baldur's Gate save. However, then I end up with no party, just that character!

I'm considering working around it by making a new Siege of Dragonspear game, exporting the party members (Minsc, Jaheira, et al.), importing them and my Black Pits character into a new Baldur's Gate game, then importing everyone from that save into Siege of Dragonspear. I'm concerned that this will break their roles in the plot though. Will they function as normal if I do this?

Edit: Struck through that because you can't export them anyway.

I hope this gets fixed in the future.

I'm playing version 2.3.67.3 (I bought it off of GoG).
