    I read in some preview for BG2 that there is an extra NPC if you got one of the bonus CDs. Is this true and if so where do I get him?

    Those guys arn't official I think. If they were they'd have a portrait, and normal sounds. THat's IMO though.

    Well, they are in the game. I didn't use any user made patches or anyting to access them. They're like a big easter egg. The stat bonus books aren't in BG2 either but people are always talking about them...

    Kivan was my favorite NPC from BG I'm glad that I can still sorta use him. I know they're not fully implemented, but it's still cool to try someone different in the party...

    I am not sure that there is any new NPC's from the bonus disks. The only people the disks seem to give you are special merchants that you cannot have join your party.

    [​IMG] Here is the text that taught me about the console and these hidden NPCs. It worked for me, and will work for you...

    __________________________________________
    http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/cheats.php

    This part of the site explains all you want to know about cheats.

    ____Unlocking Cheats

    Enter your Baldur's Gate II directory and find the baldur.ini file. (Should be in the main Black Isle folder.)
    Double click on it, and the .ini file will open in Notepad. Scroll down in the file until you reach the heading Program Options, and underneath, you should find a list of commands with numbers following (i.e., BitsPerPixel=16, Acceleration=0, etc.). Begin a new line anywhere under the Program Options heading, and write the command line: Debug Mode=1. Save this file and exit.
    Now start the game and open the console prompt by pressing Ctrl and the space bar.
    ______________________________________
    The NPCs are here...

    CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("Boo") creates Boo (and we all know who Boo is). CTRL+Q him to add him to your party. He's very powerful, and even has his own paper doll. To keep him effective, don't equip any weapons in any slots, and DO NOT LEVEL HIM UP! (requires the EnableCheatKeys() cheat to be active)

    CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("Gorion") is fun, though it does require you to exit your game once it works. If you create Gorion, talk to him and choose a few of the dialogue choices (it's keyed to a different dialogue, so you'll see some pretty weird, including NPC, dialogues). He'll bring you through the BG sequence with him (bringing you over, casting Cure Light Wounds, etc.) and bring you to a forest (area number is the same as circle of stones in BG). There, you get stuck on a tree. Too bad. I wonder if Sarevok would have appeared and all. Oh, and the BG loading screen appears in front of the BG2 one, though off center and much smaller.

    CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("Kivan")
    From what I've seen, Kivan doesn't say anything, his dialogues are bad, and he says what he should say on the bottom of the screen. He also speaks in Imoens voice a little. Still, it's pretty fun. You can do this with Drizzt too, and get him to say some of Korgan's (voice acted) lines.
