Importing save file to SoD before last boss

Hey! I beat BG:EE and I wanna contiue with SoD. But I have forgotten Golden Pantaloons before
Sarevok
so I had to reload. My last manual save file is before
Sarevok's coronation
. So my question is if I import this save file to SoD, do I loose anything? I've already reached the level cap, so exps aren't problem.

    In my experience (windows PC), you don't actually have to import to SoD. You can play BG:EE through SoD.

    If you're importing rather than continuing, I expect you'd only import the protagonist rather than starting with your whole party. The prologue dungeon will play differently, and any gear on your other party members is likely gone for good.

    Not that I'm speaking from experience here; I don't have SoD myself. I just know how the systems work in general.

    Alternately, you could just replay the end sequence. It's pretty quick, after all.

    (on the windows version) if you import rather than continue after the final battle then the containers (Scroll case, potion case, Gem bag) don't get imported

    Thank you, If I only loose containers which I can't still carry over to BG2 then I am totaly fine with that.

    The technical reason for the bag thing ... the contents of bags are stored as separate "store" files. If the import process just grabs the character, it can't get the contents of the bags. So, in order to not confuse players, the process also removes the bags themselves.

    The "continue" process, in which you just keep playing from the old campaign into the new one, doesn't have this issue.
