RCV: I recall seeing somewhere that some of the treasure that is
scattered around Irenicus's dungeon/prison can change depending upon what
your character was carrying when transferring the character from a BG 1 save
into BG 2 as an imported character.
I think [but could be wrong] that this affected the +1 Long Sword, the
Mail of the Dead and [possibly] the Helm of Balduran .

What I'm curious about is what items can change, and what items can
"follow" you in. I'm not interested in cheats to keep all your items [the
"pause - drop - pick up" routine] but simply whether or not there are
legitimate item variations, and if so, what are they?
Thanks in advance.

I've heard that it's possible to keep the horn & claw of Kazgaroth.
Ok, the spelling is buthered and maybe it's not actually a horn & claw - I
never get these items, but you know what I'm talking about. I've heard that
it's possible to get one (or both?) of these items as a replacement for the
helm of balduran. IOW, I believe it's an either/or situation. Like I said
though,
I've never tried it.

RCV: Yeah I've heard that as well - although I am not that interested in
either of those items. The pantaloons "follow" you as well, but again that
isn't what I'm looking for...
Basically I'm wondering, is it the +2 L Sword Varscona that replaces the
stock +1 L Sword, and what replaces the Mail of the Dead?

Thanks for the reply.

Varscona does not come across. My PC has had it when he came across,
and the regular Long Sword +1 awaited him.

There is a mini mod here that allows you to get BG 1 items even if you
start a new game in BG 2 without importing a character from BG 1 at
all.

RCV: Rats. <laffs> Its in the game's items though. Two versions
actually, you wouldn't happen to know who, if anyone, uses the KILLSW01
version of it? Quite the nifty little sword - if one was going to cheat
something in...

I knew at one point what the items were that followed you, but I've
since lost my notes on that. Checked a few FAQs but no info on this. Oh
well, thanks for the reply.

No one, it was probably used for testing/debugging.

According to GameBanshee:
(http://www.gamebanshee.com/baldursgateii/equipment/longswords.php)
Long Sword +2, Varscona (SW1H41)
Location(s)
Random Encounter - Loot from Catti Brie, one of Drizzt's friends
Suldanessellar - Loot from Elven Guard by the palace gate
Suldanessellar - Loot from Elven Captain by the palace gate

Can't remember if this is true, however.

RCV: Thanks. With -10 to AC, permanent Prot from Evil and a few other
things, it would be quite good for de-bugging - de-monstering as well....

It's quite true...but it's not what Rich asked. KILLSW01 =/= SW1H41.
