I searched this forum and found some "instructions" about selecting "serial port" and checking little boxes but I have no clue as to what these people are talking about. I click "multiplayer" ... I click "connection" and "serial port" ... I enter a name for the game and my player name ... then I click "new game" and absolutely nothing happens.
I've created some characters (four, I think) but I can only import one (a protagonist) for a single-player game.
Do I have to actually be on-line to start this mythical multiplayer game, save it and then load it as a single-player game off-line? If I have to be on-line, how do I do that? Where do I go? Do I have to pay a subscription fee to do this just one time?
If there really is a way to do this, could somebody post detailed step-by-step instructions that can be followed by a dummy?
