Here is an interesting one!

I loaded my single player game into multiplayer with the intention of importing the same (but slightly higher level) character that I have in my multiplayer game back into my single player game - for continuity, of course

Having tried this before, I knew what to expect. Your henchman turns hostile to your imported character (regardless that it is the same character only a higher level - and in this case only just) and attacks.

I am currently using the services of Linu, so I thought to drop her from the party lest she turn hostile, then have her rejoin. I did this, approached her after the new game had started and she remained neutral but informed me she would not rejoin as she was now working for another master I checked my pack, I still carried her flower token. So I reloaded with her still in my party and tried again.

Inevitably she attacked my character. LMAO! what was so amusing in this instance was that as she beat my character to within an inch of her life, she then - as per script - proceeded to heal my char before resuming her attack! Since she is hostile - you cannot reason with her. So she killed my character (I didn't fight back) and I selected respawn. As we appeared in the Temple, one of the NPCs there summoned an elder water elemental who killed Linu with little effort.

We are in the temple and she does not resurrect, all that remains of her is a pink dot on the map and a bag holding a couple of healing potions on the floor (which the pink dot indicates is Linu) Yet her portrait remains on my screen showing her as dead but not forgotten - yet!

So I left the temple and used the Stone of Recall to re-enter to see if that triggered anything. Still no Linu. I decided to return to the barracks to see if she was there, nope! I saved and exited the game, then reloaded. Now Linu's portrait has disappeared and she is still nowhere to be found.

I have tried loading the 'new' game in both single and multiplayer, but the results are the same...

Bizarre!

LOL! but the manual gives you the impression of continuity - you apparently can transfer saved characters between multiplayer and single player games....

So, tonight, I load up a multiplayer game and import my latest saved single player character. No hostility - this is good. But I am standing behind a magically locked door (cryptin Chapter 1) and no longer have the key (this key was in the inventory of the previous mplayer char) so I teleport back to the temple and retrieve the "dropped" key from the Divining well. Looks good? No! The game does not recognise that my newly imported character has the key (does this come down to some global variable thingy??) So I had to reload the game with the previous multiplayer character to continue.

Short of it is, characters do not appear transferable between single and multiplayer...
