It always makes me laugh :P

Mind me, not many will share your emotion :)

Well why not?

btw know where the goggles of identify are?

The merchant on the second floor of Gaelyn Bayle's home.

And you can get a pair of the djinn who you summon with limited wish.

ah, i see you read dragon lance fizban. god i love those books!

The ones written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are ok but I really wouldn't comment on some of the others... Especially not the fifth age books by Jean Rabe.

Ya actually I haven't read a fantasy books for a while, I finished the dragonlance series borrowed it from my bud. Since it is summer and I only got a part-time job, I started reading lord of the rings. THey are so fricken boring, when does it start getting interesting?

Never. But I recommend the Dark Elf Trilogy(FR), Dragons of Summer Flame(DL), or Vampire of the Mists(RL).

I have to stand up for LotR. I thought they were a great series. They are just a different style of writing than D&D books.

Hear hear, Magnus. (-:

People, this is the BG2 forum and the topic of this thread is "Got to love that talking sword". Take your reading material discussions to the proper forum please...

Oh yeah. Talking sword. Heh. Sorry, there.

Well, personally I don't find that sword even slightly amusing, but then I find Jan's stories incredibly boring and he has some people in stitches, so, different strokes. (-: The funniest NPC where I'm concerned is Edwin, and the funniest non-party character hands-down the beholder in the Sahaugin city. ("Oh, I get it, a beholder's guarding it, so it HAS to be cool, right?") (-:

That's what I meant when said that not everyone would relate to the initial idea.

I personally loved the sentient sword. Some of it's dialogues are the funniest in the game. My favorites are "I may be an intelligent sword, but I have no formal education" and "I don't know what you were expecting, but as a sword I'm pretty one-dimensional in what I want."

The funniest thing I heard on this message board was one person saying that Lilarcor said "Who's your daddy?"...at Nalia's father's funeral.

I thought that was hillarious.

I find the combination of Minsc and Lilarcor one of the funnier aspects of the game. I realize they do not really interact but it seems like they do when the sword tells Minsc to "choke up" and "swing harder". Minsc's comment of "I need a bigger sword" is also very fitting. Of all of the character in BG2. Minsc is the one that would actually listen to the sword and follow its advice.
