i was using mods and Shadow keeper soo hard back in the early to mid 2000s that i actually caused my game to have an identitiy crisis when i was in Chap 5, so i stoped BG2 for almost a decade lol. some day i may try the mods again.

Eh, honestly, i took what was said in the start of BG2, i knew the Ward was still adventuring around (hence TOSC which actually after the fight with the deamon could be the end of BG 1 and the Start of BG 2, and that would be of sufficent literary strength for me) and the party was still together (hence the party at the start of BG2). We knew he was being haunted in his sleep by the call of bhaal for lack of better terms. i havent finished the SODS content, but i assumed the party was fed food that had a magical form of sleep aid (which i is a reacurring them in the game, Yoshimo did it to the party, it happens in BG 1 with the time delay death quest, and i recall some one saying they did it to us again) and then was bum rushed while trying to sleep (the distorted memmory suggests that) or they were Dues Ex Machina'd mega sleep spell + minnion hord to get captured.

Honestly the stuff that happens in the end of SODS is borderline end of BG2SOA with going into Avernus and stuff.... I dont know about you, but in my table top days, violent incursions into hell dont last long, out numbered, not in your plane of existence, its like attacking Char in SC2 WOL. you get there, do something quick and in a hurry, and get out before too many know you are there.
