there are a few people in bg1 that are related to or are mentioned in bg2. some of the ones i found is with prism talking about ellisime and some guy called ralio windspear. just wondering does anyone know of any others

We also have Ribald Barderman and Drizzt do'Urden.

Who talks about Ribald ?
And there's Elminster and those.. i think if i understood the post

First dream sequence, Imoen talks about Gorion and Sarevok

Some Bard at a piano in Waukeen's Promenade recognise's you from another Bard's tales. The bard was Garrick. I think it was in Waukeen's promenade, anyway. You also meet some guy from Ulgoth's Beard. His name escapes me.

not a person but a place: Candlekeep, return in the dream with Imoen, however Candlekeep looked better in BG. What about Neb, the child-murderer from BG? And Tiax of course! And Tazok returns too.

And don't forget, when you ask about Sir Sarles for the temple quest people say "he's the greatest artist in Amn, apart from poor Prism of Nashkel - what a tragic loss that was" or something along those lines.
Also- Garrick, Coran, Safana, Tiax, Xsar, Quayle and Faldorn all have cameos in the game, as do the corpses of Khalid, Montaron and Ajantis. The bloke in the asylum who's paranoid about werewolves was from the werewolf island in Tales of the Sword Coast, and I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them.
Non-related BG1 easter eggs
- Umar Witch Project
- Cyrando's scene with Garrick (supposedly Cyrano de Bergerac?)
- In Waukeen's promenade there's a moose and a squirrel in a cage together - Rocky and Bullwinkle?

Biff The Understudy in both BG1 and BG2!

i meant the less obvious ones not stuff like drizzt and imoen

I can't believe you guys forgot Shank and Carbos! Those were the two idiot brothers who tried to kill you in Candlekeep. You can talk to their sister to in Baldur's Gate. You find them again in the brige district of Athkatla I think. They are arguing over some girl so they decide to fight for her(one congratulates the other for the great idea). They then procede to kill each other. I think it's random who wins heh but either way the girl walks away disgusted. Also their is that theif guy who helps you with Bohdi if you ask for the Shadow Theives help. He was one of the guys you could control in the cellar in candlekeep(your training with party control). Also he and another guy helped you out in the catacombs under candlekeep later on. Suprised you forgot that too.

Some more obvious ones are faldorn and Safana both who could join your party in BG1.

By the way, Lord Foreshadow in BG1(you find him on the map right above Nashkel) says something about a Lord Ribald from Neverwinter but I don't think it has anything to do with Ribald the(retired :)) Half Elven adventurer.

And another thing. Back in BG1 Ajantis' biography said that Keldorn was his mentor.
