A quick question about MP with 6 characters (and 2 players)

So, the time has come for me to finally embrace the MP-component of BG; The party is (almost) rolled and summer vacation is nigh. In my first ever MP-campaign both me and my brother plan on contributing 3 characters each and since I've never done this before, here's what I wanted to ask:

What about NPCs, such as Edwin, Rasaad, Imoen etc.? Is it possible to temporarily (that's the important part) kick one of our generated characters to do an NPCs quest-line (they should still be present in game, right?), coming back to pick our party member afterwards?

I currently have no way of trying this out on my own, since my brother doesn't have access to the internet ATM. Cheers and thanks a bunch for answering. :smiley:

    In the 2.3 version you can't temporarily kick generated characters away - you get no option to say them "Wait for us here" - they're gone for good if being kicked away.

    That's... a bummer. Is it known whether this intended behavior or a bug that will be fixed?

    Maybe I'll have to go with 5 then... :neutral:

    You could remove any containers and export your generated character and remove them using the character arbitration menu, then bring the NPC for the quest. Once you are finished with the NPC you can import your exported character again.

    Phew... That means that there's a workaround. :sweat_smile: : Thanks. This way I'll probably only loose their statistics, something I can live without.
