ah cool thank you , tbh i dunno if i should start a fresh or carry my character over from bg1 to bg 2 ?, i haven't started playing the black pits yet either and i still have icewind dale to play
Black pits is more a small side thing, i would advice you to play BG2 first and then give IWD a try.
Awesome, i will...thank you again for your time and help its most appreciated
As @FinneousPJ said, BlackPits(2) is a standalone "campaign" unrelated to the main BG1/BG2 storyline.
( sorry to sound like such a dumb ass guys )
Icewind Dale is a different game with no central charname, different locations and, a different time period.
However that would be a silly strategy. Cumbersome and boring.
You'd better set the stats you want with the EEKeeper editor. You can use the console too.
High stats are nice but perhaps you overestimate their influence on the game.
For instance an initial sum of 90 points is a very nice roll for most classes.
but then again i suppose it would save doing the same quests over and over about 10 times lol
so i take it that the like of wisdom, intelligence and charisma do not play as big a role as i thought
they might in bg2 ? it was only reason i was going to go through the game so many times ? but yeah its already becoming a little boring. ive done most of the add on missions and there is not much to gain from them ?
All stats are important, it all depends on your class.
Don't play a mage without a high INT score for instance.
There are two tendencies though.
1-Everyone wants a high dexterity.
2-Unless the class requires a high CHA score, people tend to use it as a dump stat.
I would get through BGEE doing as much as you want to and can, which will get you all the XP you can have, and at least some of the tomes, then transfer to BG2EE so your characters can continue to progress. then you'll get to see how they really develop, with stronger items, spells and enemies.
The attributes do play a role, but not so much that I would invest that much effort into boosting them, at the expense of gaining xp and getting into BG2. When people talk about having played the series multiple times they normally mean with different characters to try different skillsets out, and develop different stories.
Another Question:- ( probably another dumb ass one too
So to try and save time, when you finish the main quest. the game then ends and it gives you a final save ...
is it only the final game save file that can carry over to BG2 or could i import a quick save or auto save or would i have to carry on through the game to import my character ?
i have been reading a walk-through and there isn't much left now i haven't done already, so i am pretty much ready to move on to BG2...i may even just roll with a fresh character to give myself a challenge...or is there any kind of special item i can carry over from BG1 to BG2 ?
Again thank you for your time and help guys its greatly appreciated
BGEE helps make sure you have a good save game to do so, that is the final save you are referring to.
Moreover there are items (and variables - romances probably - not sure about the status) that will be made available in BG2EE if you have them in your imported savegame.
You can import from any save.
Out of interest, am I right in thinking you got quite far, then restarted with the same character? How far? If you didn't finish it might be fun to do that before BG2.
When you import a saved character from Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition to the beginning of Shadows of Amn, your romance status with Dorn, Neera, or Rasaad will now be carried over. Find your lost companion in Athkatla or the surrounding region and your relationship will pick up right where it left off...
... Simply add the variables you wish to import to VARIMPRT.2da; any imported saved games will carry your variables over into a new game.
I haven't tested it yet.
correct, my very first attempt i had been poisoned and had 10 days to find a cure, i had 1 day left to find a cure by the time i realised and was in the middle of map no where to travel so i had no choice but to restart lol
my second attempt i had basically gotten to about chapter six or seven playing straight from the beginning just doing the main quest, i had done durlag tower retrieved the soultaker dagger but then went to ducal palace with a invitation from sarevok, i had to then fight him he then ran, i chased him down fought him and 2 mages again and it gave me a final save...
it was then i realised i had been missing a few items such as scroll carrier which can only be done in the first chapter of the game and other missions i had missed so here i am near the end of my third attempt
