Spiritual, ay?

Well, the Infinity Engine for BG was designed to allow the same single player experience to be playable with 6 real ppl taking a character each.

You'd roll your character then you could take NPCs in the party for more content, or real players for more awesome.

I've played BG and IWD 1 and 2 with a friend taking just one character each.

When I think about the "sprit" of the game the first thing that comes to mind is wandering around the BG1 forests fighting Xvarts with a friend.

Why did carry across characters die out? I loved taking my guys from Champions of Krynn all the way to Dark Queen of Krynn. yeah?
