Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Game Master Player Progress between Adventures

Hey everybody!

I'm interested in how other DMs are approaching this issue? After players successfully finish an adventure they most likely intend to take their existing characters onward to the next play session.
There does not seem to be an option for the DM to save their player's characters. The only way to re-create a player's character (that I've found) was to note down everything about the character (levels, attributes, talents, what loot they had in their inventory, what their magic gear does etc.) and then add all of those things back to the character in the next adventure.
As you can imagine, doing this for 4 characters every time a new adventure starts gets real tedious real quick.

I haven't tried to have every adventure take place in the same campaign file but I'd imagine that doing so would eventually bloat it up to a point where just navigating it would become a nightmare. I'm also not sure how save games interact with content that gets added to a running adventure (Say my players went through a forest last session and we saved and stopped playing. After that session I went ahead and added a cave in prepare mode. Would that cave then show up in play mode if I load from the previous save?).
e: I have tried this now and if you have an existing save for an adventure and then edit the adventure in prepare mode the changes will not show up in the saved adventure; only if you completely restart.

How are others handling the process of moving player characters between adventures?

I just posted what I think is a workaround to the problem of continuing to write content after your players have played the first session

Not fully tested that yet but hope it works and helps you.

Having a Export/Import Characters option for the GM would be really useful however. I can see times when for the sake of avoiding bloat; or (and I'd really like to be able to do this) drop one player out for a session, because maybe they cant make it, and bring in a guest player/character.

Cam you click on a character and create a template like you can with npcs? If you do that can you move them aroind like an imported item?

Templates aren't carried over between campaigns; they are something you can only use in the campaign you've already loaded up (sort of like a quick access), but there is no way (at least to my knowledge) to get them out of one campaign and into a different one.

Oh, that's lame. I thought it would add it to a folder kinda like if it was a addon.
