View Full Version : Drinking when not adventuring anyone?
Azardu Mon, 4th Jun '01, 1:29am Anyone else here feed their character some well deserved alcoholic beverage after yet another heroic act, like for example saving D'Arnise keep. I think they deserve it. Especially Minsc and Boo. They need some happy-time between the grim battles. Anyone agree? Care to recommend a beverage served in the many taverns of Amn anyone? And should I allow them to go find themselves some tavern wenches to have a good time with? I know they want to, but I think as the player I should restrict them a bit. Otherwise I might leave material for a third installment in the BG series (as discussed in the offspring of bhaalspawn thread) all over Amn. Comments are, as always, welcome.
Lokken Mon, 4th Jun '01, 1:31am I always drink till my character and viconia are intoxicated (a kickstarter for those nightly activities) ;) I usually have alot of gold, so I go for the most expensive one!

Azardu Mon, 4th Jun '01, 1:50am Lokken: Clever, never considered the possibility to lure a party member into the hay, keeping it inhouse so to speak. Wonder if it would work with two of them at the same time... :)
Lokken Mon, 4th Jun '01, 2:02am perhaps if you get them reeeeaally intoxicated...
ahh, here in the hay, viconia and me and who's this, oh hi korgan.... ARGH! KORGAN, what the H*** are you doing here!? GET OUT!
Crawl Mon, 4th Jun '01, 3:12am LOL! Well the only time I remember going out and having some rounds was after I finished off Kangaxx. I thought the whole party deserved so RnR at that point, so I went to the closest tavern and inn and drank my party silly :D Usually, well, no I don't...I got the gold; I usually just don't want to spend it on beer.
Sir Belisarius Mon, 4th Jun '01, 4:09am Crawl - Always the miser. ;)
I usually get a little crazy at the Coronet...There's always something fun going on there! It's funny, Aerie gets wasted quick!!! :D
Grovflab Mon, 4th Jun '01, 11:57am And when they pass out, there is nothing to prevent you from slowly removing their clothes and abu..... Ups, wrong board. :D
jester1137 Mon, 4th Jun '01, 5:53pm My crew doesn't drink, but for no reason I can explain I always rent them the best room in the house
Ironbeard Mon, 4th Jun '01, 10:33pm Being a dwarf, whenever I can remember I drink evryone in my party into unconciousness with the 1 GP ale before resting. A wee bittie night cap, an' if the elven ponces canna hack it and start falling out o' winders an' stuff it's their own dang fault!

Mollusken Tue, 5th Jun '01, 1:08pm Kagain always complaints about the lack of ale.
Viking Tue, 5th Jun '01, 5:03pm After a particularly nasty battle, I tend to break out a can of beer for myself, or pop down the pub for a jar or two. Does that count? :D
The Wise, The Grey Wed, 6th Jun '01, 6:22am I'll get my characters drunk. I do it on a whim. For instance, when I return to Athkatla from a trek across Amn. Or a long day of work (battling). These are times that I, myself, like to have a few drinks; so it seems fitting.
I'm thinking Viconia would be more than happy to comply, heh, regatdless of a few drinks. - She's a good sport :p :D :p
Headbanger Wed, 6th Jun '01, 1:56pm Hehe Lokken, you're lucky that even the most expensive beer in BG2 isn;t that Expensive as the beerprice in your Denmark, otherwise you wouldn't have had money to buy good items but you would use all for the beer :)
Grovflab Wed, 6th Jun '01, 5:07pm Whoa, beer isn't expensive in Denmark. Only in Sweden and Norway. Untill some years ago, it was even possible for children under the age of 15 to buy alcohol in an average supermarket.
Headbanger Wed, 6th Jun '01, 6:13pm Hehe yesterday on the chat, Lokken told me it's 2 dollars for half a liter beer and that's 3 times more expensive as it is in the Netherlands.
Sir Belisarius Wed, 6th Jun '01, 6:40pm I remember buying beers with 12% alcohol while I was in Russia for 10 rubles each! The exchange rate was 110 rubles to the dollar when I was there!!!! 1992.
Needless to say, we were drunken fools while in Russia. It was such a blast!
Nobleman Wed, 6th Jun '01, 6:46pm I drink "krudt-ugler" (Danish) something like "Gunpowder-owl" in english. DONT ask me why :D They cost 1/5 of a £ in denmark, Odense. Where I live anyway :)
Tyresian Wed, 6th Jun '01, 6:56pm Getting back on topic, my fighters always get drunk before fighting a dragon. I can't really see the difference in their fighting abilities when they're dead drunk.
Ironbeard Wed, 6th Jun '01, 11:41pm Beer in half litres.... the pint is dead? This happened in 1984(the book, not the year), and is the only thing the guy from before the revolution moaned about.
BogiTheWaverer Thu, 7th Jun '01, 9:54am If you drink it in 2 litre mugs you have a good exercising for your swordarm. :D
Ragusa Thu, 7th Jun '01, 11:08am Yep, I let my party get drunk after a serious fight, just as I let Jaheira get drunk when she starts to mock about my good reputation. She seems to stop then for a while. I always have the Baalor beer from umar hills in my backpack for that purpose.
