    [​IMG] In my current game, I have 3 characters (the protagonist and two NPCs). However, I've found that this group is lacking in a few key areas. I know that there are some NPCs about who would fill the gap, but I don't like their personality. Is there a way to create a new character, and add him into the group mid-game?

    Note, that I'm not worried about level (I can always increment that later with ShadowKeeper). Equipment is also not an issue - that's what all this gold is for!

    Well, you can always start a multi-player game, assign the control of all the created characters to yourself, and then move that saved game over from your multiplayer saved game folder to your default saved game folder.

    Of course, if you're proficient with the console commands, you can always console a random creature in and then modify his/her stats with Shadowkeeper.

    Shura's got it, use a multi-player game. To do it to your existing game, just copy over your save into the multiplayer save folder. Load it then add your extra characters, go to the game and save. You can either play in multiplayer or move it back to the save folder to play single again.

    If you copy it to you mulitplayer games first, do you have to be connceted when you load it (I pretty sure you would do but i just hopin you don't) Cause i play all my games on the Laptop which has no internet connection and my PC dnt have BG II installed and i really don't want to do it just for that?

    Its easier to (i think its CTRL-R) a creature and modify wth Shadowkeepa. I added a Slayer Shadow this way. It is really cool, as my char is evil and i reckon he needs a few demons to help him.

    You dont have to be connected to the net for the multiplayer to work. Just keep with the default options it provides and you will be ok.

    To enroll anyone into your party forcibly the cheat to use is Ctrl-Q when the mouse hovers over that charecter.
