How do you import your save from episode 1 into 2?

SNF

I've been replaying these games lately, and I can't for the life of me remember how to import my save file. I can't find the option to do it.

The game usually asks you if you want to import automatically when starting a new game. I only play insane mode, on a mac, don't know about other settings or systems...

edit: I think it's required to beat the final boss in ep1 though.

SNF

I'm playing it on a mac too.

I did beat the final boss in the first game. It even has a "Completed Games" file for it in Ep 1. I didn't get anything asking me to import a save in Ep 2.

I fire up ep 2 and it says play game. I click yes. it gives me options: I choose Insane mode, it asks me wether I want to import (my/a) character from ep 1. every time. Did you upgrade your games to the latest versions?

SNF

I assume I have the latest versions, since I installed it on this computer recently.

I just looked at a Let's Play of it, and it definitely had a pop-up about importing a character that I don't get.

I'm playing the mac app store version, perhaps the importing a character was cut out in this version?

I had heard the App Store version had a lot of problems with it, so that might be it.

Also, there really isn't a reason to import your character. It isn't like Mass Effect where what you did in Ep. 1 has an affect on Ep. 2. Just start a new game and make it look like your Ep. 1 character, and you might as well have imported it.

SNF

I thought you needed to import to have a few items and stuff, though?

I think I remember a summon character you had to import to get.

zombiefriend

Not that I know of. I imported my character, and I didn't get anything unless Anne Claire is the summon character you get.

I was thinking of Div.

Apparently you still get him, but I was thinking about an upgrade he can only have if you got the phonograph thing in episode 1.

Maybe I'll email Hothead about this.

zombiefriend

Oh, yeah. I forgot about getting the phonograph with Div.

Yeah, I'd just email them.
