I bought the retail version of Sacred a few months ago and download the free PLUS expansion for it (the retail version I got was the jewel case in the white sleeve). I decided that I liked the game enough to get the expansion, but I couldn't find JUST the Underworld upgrade anywhere. I bought the retail DVD Sacred Gold, but it installs like it's a different game. I go to "import," and it won't give me the option of bringing in saves from my normal Sacred game. My question is: Can I import characters from the original Sacred/Sacred Plus into the Gold version of the game, or do I need to start new characters? Any info would be appreciated.

It has been forever since I have done anything with the game, but I know I was able to bring a character over from Sacred without Plus into UW, but if I remember right you can not go the other way. If the import option is not working then just try to manually do it. Just find your saved character files from Sacred and copy-paste them into the UW saved areas. You could try and save something in UW first so that all of the folders will be set up for you by the game. The files you want to look for have the extension of pax, so you could have Windows search for that, or you can look for the entire name, which would be something like HeroXX.pax, where XX will be some number, but 00 will be the one used for your first saved character.

Thanks! I exported the character in Sacred Plus, manually copied it from the Scared Plus save folder into the Sacred Gold save folder, and everything worked fine. I know that the documentation for Sacred Gold says that importing characters from the original version can cause a lot of glitches, and suggests that you start a new character from scratch in the current version instead. I hope this isn't true...

Glad it worked, hopefully there will not be issues which affect you though. I never had any major issues importing myself from a really old version of the original into Plus and eventually UW, although small things would happen like items being gone, and stats changed, but my character did not change.
