- FoV was an "add-on" disk. Serpent's Isle is a completely new
- standalone game. From my conversations with Origin reps back at Comdex,
- it seemed that Serpent's Isle doesn't have that much relation to the Black
- Gate. The reason for not being able to transfer your characters is that
- by the end of the Black Gate, they have, if not super stats, a good amount
- of strength. Too much strength. Upsets the game balance. Wasn't it the
- same sort of thing where you couldn't transfer characters from Might &
- Magic 3 to Clouds of Xeen probably for the same reason?
