HotU - Imported Character from Main Campaign

[Legacy_TheAwesomologist]

                It's been forever and a day since I played NWN and I realized I never played the HotU expansion. So I fired up the game imported my character from the main campaign. However when I go talk to my old companions for the first time (Linu, Tomi, etc.) they don't recognize me? Deekin however does recognize me as though I completed SoU (which I did but with a different character). I checked the old save, reloaded to save after defeating the end boss of the main campaign so I know I'm using the right character.
Does HotU recognize which campaign you imported from? If so and this is a bug, is it a known one? Fixable?

The two campaigns aren't directly connected. The SoU / HotU campaign is intended to be played with a different character so actually you are not using the right character (SoU actually takes place at the same time as the events in the OC). It can certainly be done, but it causes some amount of confusion on your part, especially when said companions start talking about the events of the OC in HotU and what became of the hero of Neverwinter and you're sitting there trying to figure out how it is they don't recognize you.

If you'll recall, SoU starts you off as a fresh graduate apprentice of Drogan in the Silver Marches some distance from Neverwinter. That should be the first indication that using the same character from the OC doesn't quite fit the narrative.

               Yeah. The OC starts at level 1 and takes the character to the late teens. SoU starts at level 1 and takes the character to the low-mid teens and HotU assumes that same SoU character is being played. (Some people play that character through one of the SoU-HotU "bridge modules" to get him to ~15th level to start HotU.) The OC henchmen in HotU (and the whole storyline) know about the OC, but they all assume that the character played is the one from SoU.

FWIW, HotU will play okay with the OC character, as long as you don't mind that some of the dialogue refers to you as the SoU character who (with Drogran) saved the region from the threat of a risen Undrentide and no one knows you are the hero of Neverwinter that they sometimes talk about. Also, a character taken through the OC is likely to finish at a higher level than is intended to play in HotU, so it might not be very challenging for that character (and HotU isn't really that hard anyway).

BTW, just as a personal preference, I prefer taking the SoU character through HotU because some of the magic items one can find in SoU are more interesting, especially for arcane casters.

               Thanks for the responses and thanks for the links to the modules MrZork. Sadly the continuity thing is bugging me. May just have to make a new SoU character.
