Hello everyone!
Spoilers...
How much time is between the two games?
For the longest while I assumed that BG2 takes place right after the first one. I thought that maybe a few days passes by at most. But then I started thinking about all of the connections presented in the second game. Athkatla is far south from BG. You would need to raise enough money for supplies, security, and a few other things. When you meet the characters from BG1 they've been active for some time, implying they didn't just get there.
- Quayle found Aerie and the both of them either start or join the circus in Waukeen's Promenade
- Edwin has infiltrated the Shadow Thieves and traded his dashing looks for a beard
- Xzar and Montaron are operating in the docks district, and Xzar has his own pupils and conducted various experiments
- Tazok was resurrected and is Firkraag's lieutenant
That's not all of them but you probably get the idea by now. Also, why did Jaheira dye her hair? She was brunette in the first game and blonde in the other. Her whereabouts are known to you and your captor, but to the outside world (including her treacherous Harper kin!) she's a missing person. Irenicus doesn't have a reason to do that and she's not in a position where she can dye her own hair.
