How do you start Flames of Vengeance with old Character?
Just beat Ego Draconis and tried to start up the expansion, thing is it makes me start a new character AND it starts me off at the beginning of Aleroth (all the damn quests I will have to repeat just to go kill Ygerna again). I read online that you have to start up Flames of Vengeance and then load your character from a save then beat the game and instead of cutting to credits at the end it will start up the expansion. I have beat Ygerna once (the original time) and 2 more times. The two other times I beat her I started a new game on the main menu for flames of vengeance and then once I was in I loaded my save from Ego Draconis which is right at the Ygerna fight. I beat her twice and the credits just roll, no expansions starts. It would suck incredibly hard if I have to do ALL the content in Aleroth with a new character etcetera just to access the expansion. Anyone know a fix or work around? thanks!

You finished the game. When you start an Ego Draconis character there is a seamless transition into FoV. D2:ED ended after the Hall of Echoes when you got trapped in the Plane of Hypnerotomachia with the Divine; Behrlihn showing up to bring you back to Aleroth was the beginning of FoV.

The option to start a new character in the FoV section was primarily for those who played the original release of D2:ED and didn't want to start at the beginning again to play the add-on.

Ahhh ok...what made me think there was more was the fact that Damian was not killed. Well damn I was enjoying the hell out of that game and wanted more haha!

There will be a Divinity 3 (at some point) to finish off the story arc of the Divine and Damian, but nothing else has been revealed.

love the game and all but realy? thats it? the divine walks out and we nolonger give two craps about damian? what about rhode? shes stuck as a statue in some ruin under our feet FOR CRYINGOUTLOUD!!!
what happens to us? the slayers? do they disband? do they hate us and form a new 'black ring'?
do we join them and become the most powerful guild? one city remains standing and we end HERE? what of tanala? the dragon knight that gave us here powers? her spirit lives but we gave up when she was repaced by that witch-b*tch! we could save her! so meny could be saved! and we just F*CK OFF AND PAN-VIEW OUT TO A CAT IN A RUIN? WHY A CAT? WHAT SIGIFICANCE HAS THE CAT GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING?!?!...:steamfacepalm::steamsad::steamfacepalm:

The cat is a reference to a character from Divine Divinity, a wizard stuck in cat form and friend of Zandalor.

Since the basis for the formation of the Slayers has been proven to be a lie, they would either have to disband or re-focus on fighting the Black Ring (perpetrators of that lie). That could be kind of interesting, the ex-Slayers doing penance for their misguided genocide by becoming dragon knights...

The end of the story arc with Damian will have to wait for another game to finish.

I'm can't continue with old character. The credits play and the videos play properly but then after the last video is done it goes straight to the main menu. If i hit continue it goes to the last boss battle. What am i missing?

I'm playing the GOG version

I think that is the end of the game. The D2:ED section (the original release) ends with the character being trapped and Damian attacking the fjords. The start of the Flames of Vengeance section is the spirit form of Behrlihn showing up and bringing your character back to Aleroth.

The GOG version is the Developer's Cut release, so save compatibility isn't an issue.

I had no idea that the expansion was seamlessly integrated into ED. I don't remember it ever saying that I was now playing the FOV. So I guess I finished it all after all. Thanks for clarifying that.
