Starting inventory

in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
I haven’t found a thread with this problem so I will ask (sorry if it is there already somewhere).

Playing on iPad. I export a save. Yeslick and Minsk inventory is the same as in BG1. Dynaheir loses the gem/scroll/potion cases which are replaced by crappy items. Charname’s inventory was empty but gets filled up with more +1 items.

Is it normal to lose the containers? Why do I get all that extra inventory?

    Some npcs don't join you in SoD. When the prologue is over, the items in their inventory (bit not what they have equipped) will be transferred either to you, or a chest next to you in the next area. If that's not what you are talking about, there IS a bug some people are experiencing with transfers over to SoD. I think the devs are aware of it, but just in case. @JuliusBorisov *Lights the Borisov signal*

    Thanks, @ThacoBell. I just get different items at the start of the prologue than the ones I had in BG1 so it must be an export bug (perhaps only for iPad?). Basically lose all containers and then get new random basic stuff in Charname’s inventory including a set of keys

    I don't know of the mobile specific bugs, but if its similar, I think 2.5 is planned to fix it. SoD will get 2.5 after IWD, BGEE, and BG2EE are patched.

    Interesting that you mention this bug happens on the iOS version of SoD, which is already 2.5.

    Please, attach your saves (both from BG:EE and SoD) and create a bug report on support.baldursgate.com , @MacHurto

    Will do later today. Tried to keep them by leaving them in Imoen’s inventory but it didn’t work. And now they also took my money away! No wonder most Bhaalspawn end up being evil :-P

    The extra gear is a bug. It's taking gear from BDSTWEAP.2DA.

    Cannot attach the saves here, for some reason. Is there a mail I can send them to?

    Minsc/Dynaheir also lose their items when I meet them at the Three Kegs inn which makes it extra annoying (I am ok with Yeslick taking the stuff he used for RP purposes but these guys should not lose their stuff so quickly). Anyway will restart SoD.

    Sorry if this wasn't clear: attach your saves (both from BG:EE and SoD) to a bug report on support.baldursgate.com .

    @JuliusBorisov Done. Thanks!

    I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard that containers imported in become things like standard mage robes and rings of protection +1, that sort of thing. Whether these are crappy depends on your point of view I guess ;) Personally I think that this is a god solution to the problem of people importing too many items in after BG1
  • MacHurtoMacHurto Member Posts: 731
    Why is importing many items a problem? Specially since they don’t take your items, just your potions and your scrolls.

    They are crappy in the sense that they are worse than the worn items. Also, it makes no sense from a RP perspective.

    This sounds like a bug. Containers and items on NPCs transition fine in my install.
  • ThacoBellThacoBell Member Posts: 12,235
    I don't personally have to import, the game automatically transitions to SoD when I clear the final fight of BG. All of my items (including containers) and npcs carry over normally. What you are experiencing definitly sounds like a bug.

    I think it is an iPad thing. You need to import. I also got Brawnen to wake up with me at the Ducal Palace after the prologue. Try to explain to her it is a “programming mistake”

    I play on a windows notebook, if that helps.

    Has this bug been fixed? I’m experiencing the same thing when starting SoD on iPad. I lose tons of important items from BG1, and some are replaced with things like basic leather armour.

    This didn’t happen on my PC. Anyone know a work around?

    I have the same problem on a Surface 3- just happened last night. So not fixed it appears.

    Are you using the Import Game option and longtap of a quicksave, or the import character option and export character?
