Difference of importing game and create legacy/Set PoE1 Game Stats?

[nouser]

Is there any difference from importing the pillars of eternity 1 game and customizing the pillars of eternity 1  game  through the "set poe1 game"  option in the menu to create a poe1 legacy?  i mean in terms of the impact of the decisions in the poe2 deadfire story.

Not really; the reactivity is pretty minor all around and there's maybe one or two lines of dialogue you'll miss by creating a save. I thought there was a sea shanty you'd only get by importing too, but i heard someone say they created a save and got it

thanks. but what are these 2 lines of dialogue about ? who says them?

At one point someone asks if you've ever been in love, and if your previous life was in love with Iovara you can mention her. Man I can't remember what the other ones I heard about even were

For me the main difference is that I can have Vela with my two characters that didn't kidnap her.

Very small things, whether an NPC is in a location (the doctor from the sanitarium is in the Soul Spire provided he lived, the leader of the Iron Flail is in the temple of Gaun if you let him live but I think that's available as an option in legacy creation IIRC) so all the broad strokes seemed to be available if you create a legacy instead of importing a game. That said, I've only played imported characters to completion so I may have overlooked something or not realized subtle changes. I had six or seven characters to import from and have like nine games in Deadfire so for the most part I've imported different characters and the differences between them were all fairly subtle. Of course, the legacy I created, one where I empowered Woedica (I always ended up not feeling like a character would want to do that by the time I got to the end of the game) is a character I just started and haven't really played past Port Maje so I'm really just speaking by the number of answers I gave in the creation of the legacy vs changes I noticed in the characters I have played to level 20.
