Vanilla BG, an NPC creation question...

[The Angry Druid]

OK, after doing the Tutu thing for a while, I decided to try a vanilla BG game, but quickly became frustrated. I wanted to do two things.

 

1) Get the NPC's at as low a level as possible (love that G3 mod)

2) Bring along the 5 from Candlekeep (I'd gotten used to meeting them at the FAI)

 

To my dismay, it seems the two are incompatible. If I do the Obe trick, then Imoen and Xzar are at level 2 due to the higher level and mulit-class NPCs (Osprey).

 

Next, I tried "creating" Osprey via the cheat console, which worked, but I can't get her to join. She's created, but there is no dialogue.

 

Is there anyway to kick start the dialogue to get a "created" NPC to join the party? Or another way around the problem?

Console in Obe? He joins them to your party.

Cursoring over the NPC and ctrl+q should also work of course, if your only goal is to get them into your party.

Thanks for the suggestions...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll report the following..

 

The Obe thing worked, with two drawbacks.

 

First, he would eventually say that's enough, and transport me back to Candlekeep, where I was stuck.

 

And two, when I tried to get off the area with my created creature, the whole game froze/crashed.

 

Because of that, I didn't really try the cursor cover CTR-q option.

 

What I did do was Gatekeeper the NPC's to single class before leaving CK, which allowed Imoen and Xzar at 1, then changed them back. Presto!
