Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Importing Characters and Gear to another game?

Hm. I personally don't think I want this-- only because I've never had this issue with DOS or DOS2-- I just had games that I played with specific people. Plus how would impact the story or the logistics of the characters who have accomplished X thing within their own storyline or is that not a thing?

Are you just saying "I want this character's specific stats while they are 15 hours into their own specific game?"

DOS/DOS2/BG3 are games I would plan to play with someone from beginning to end as the story evolves etc. As much as it is kin to DnD-- I really think they all drive inspiration from them, as far as BG3 being DnD it draws inspiration from the rule set of DnD--- But it is not and shouldn't be 1:1 to the tabletop game. Joining midsession with your own character that has already interacted with things in the world --- how would that work?


I think this would rely on what matters in the game and I don't think gear or levels is something I specifically care about in Tabletop games, DOS/DOS2/BG3-- it is the arbitrary thing in the game that helps facilitate me going through the world to do the actual thing I care about-- which is to experience the world as a story.

Another player joining the game that is overleveled making the game easier just seems pointless-- I'm not against it being in the game-- I think more options for people to play the game the way they want is nice-- but that *is* what mods are for. I think giving players a means to basically make the gameplay pointless-- which is almost what would be happening if some overleveled character could just drop into a game.

So that being said-- I don't think they should add it.


I feel like that feeling is misplaced considering how well DOS2 had done.


This is super anecdotal and I don't think this supports your argument.
Because I have 45 friends that own DOS2 that never reflected your thoughts.
Out of my 45 friends-- it didn't stop them from playing DOS2 nor have I really heard anyone complain they couldn't import a character. The idea revolved around "Lets start a game of DOS2-- who wants to play. Most people were like "Ill play if we can skip fortjoy" Not "If we can add a mirror and cheat vendor so I can make the game easier." <--- which is basically what you want... What other reason would there be to bring in an over-leveled character to "help out" than to just make the game easier.

What would be a good idea-- is if there was a way in-game to change your race and class to what you would want if you joined someone's game mid-session.

IF there is a NG+ I think it would be pretty awesome to be able to have or meet up with With limitations--- because... it's NG+ and shouldn't be easier.
