Importing character into Neverwinter Nights
   

In Baldur's Gate II an in-game popup hint promised you would be able to import your BGII character into NWN. Lies all lies?

They decided to start from Level 1 characters again, which I can understand. It's pretty confusing having to deal with forty spells if you start as a fifteenth level magic user or something, and aren't used to AD&D.

You're forced to think strategically if you have limited resources, also. Some of my most fun battles in BG One were when I dumped my party and went hunting with my thief/magic user alone.

(In Icewind Dale II they have justified the restart from level one by saying "it's a generation later" as if 30 years would matter to dwarves and elves!)

However, I think you can use the editor to create your BG Two character if you want, though that might limit your options for online play.

Another factor was the change to 3rd Edition rules, which would have ruled out a lot of character classes.

By the end of BG Two, my cavalier character (with his cloak of spell reflection) bore a close resemblance to a blender, slicing and dicing everything in his way, and I wouldn't have wanted to import him into NWN anyway!

There is also the copyright issue. The Baldur's Gate series were developed/published by Black Island Studio/Interplay while NWN is published by Infogames.
