Hmm, that might be a bit of a mouthful, but you never know. Mequel project exists in etherea at the moment, so don't go hallucinating just yet (in reference to drugs).You mean, the other guy will be in the guild instead of Edwin, if Edwin is dead, Imoen will remain dead, if she was killed in BG1, or dumped, if she was dumped in BG1, and the whole plot branch would go differently, "right" NPCs will be with the PC in the beginning of BG2, with full dialogue, not as silent shadows, there will be a compelling reason for PC to follow Irenicus in chapter 2, and it all will be relatively bug-free and compatible with most other mods?
Point noted...all that was meant by 'continuity' is that you can get the same NPC you left off with, nothing more. So, if you don't get the same Xan NPC in BG2 as you get when you finished BG1, he is not continuous. Probably not the best definition, but it has just stuck. I recognise this as a flaw, but some people like it, and it was the original idea of BGT, so nothing drastic will happen to that, unforutnately.(Seriously, I'm just annoyed that BGT introduces no real continuity, and yet the pinned thread claims Xan and Kivan don't have any. Pfft.)
