They do a pretty decent job of mixing things up and keeping some of the old pals you can hang around with. I do wish that Kivan had made it into BG2 as a playable NPC, along with a few others, but it was meant to be a new game, so new characters were probably needed more than some of the old. |
And if there is an NPC you really miss and they were remotely popular, there is a better to average chance the active BG2 modding community has taken care of the oversite (though with varying degrees of success.). So you can still find ways to play characters like Kivan...
Still, I was fairly upset when I first started playing that many of the NPCs I used were no longer available to me. Regardless, there are many new and, definitely, better developed NPCs in BG2 to recruit. So, I quickly got over that.
