Now I can finally play Baldur's Gate 2!

Finished 'Baldur's Gate' - copy that I got from 'Good Old Games' = gog.com. It took 8 tries to beat the final boss and his cronies, but I did and got a final save. [My old copy of the game refused to do the final save.] So I installed the copy of 'Baldur's Gate 2' - also from gog.com - and was able to import my character.

I was able to keep all stats, xp [and with the 'cheat' of pausing at game start and dumping all equipment I was able to keep all of that, too]. The final save import ALSO kept the stat adds I gave to Minsc [CON] and Jaheira [WIS] - and they also retained their levels, as did Imoen. So = very much yay!

Wow...you sure bring back memories..."Evil, meet my sword! Sword, meet evil!!"

I wonder where I put my copy of BG2? I played it for MONTHS for the sole purpose of seeing all the possible dialog outcomes.

The new Minsc quotes are already making me RotFL. Jaheira's icon ia gorgeous! Imoen is cute-tho-whiny. And I am happy! to be playing BG2 after having bad game copies before. [ranting: for gosh sakes guys, at LEAST make the games save & install right, K?] ... Plus new rule & inventory mods have been amazingly good improvements!
