I've noticed a few things that made me laugh . . . I highly recommend that you check them out if you have'nt already spotted them.

In the adventurers mart, there are two pictures from the kiddies cartoon Dungeons & Dragons depicting their demise by Tiamat.

Just outside the circus tent there are a few cages. One of them has a Moose and a Squirrel (another cartoon related thing)

In the Shade Lord quest - theres an Indiana Jones Style Puzzle.

Please reply if you've noticed others.

Yoshimo says "If memory serves..." when you click on him. Straight out of Iron Chef. Cracked me up.

1. The Umar Hills Witch Project
2. Minsc: "Rangers and hampsters everywhere, rejoice!!!"
3. Minsc's explanation of how he hid Boo

(spoil, if u haven't gotten that far)
Tiax, from bg1 in the asylum and how he still thinks he is going to dominate the world.

My funniest moment so far: Using Charm Animal on a moose and trying to use it as a shield behind which to fire arrows (although the moose was in my party, it refused to attack. Bad moose! baaaad moose!)

The conversation Jan has with Keldorn abou the book his mom wrote. The erotic love story between a flesh golem and a mage :D

Holy cow! yes that's funny!

My favourite: Lilacor, the "intelligent" sword. Had Minsc wield it for almost the whole game - the two are just a match made in heaven. Can't decide which of the two has the funnier lines... :D

"My brother is a +12 Hackmaster" (I love KOTDT...)
"I may be an intelligent sword but I had no formal edumication"
"..as a sword I'm pretty one-dimenional in what I waaaant"

And sometimes the sheer timing makes it hilarious:

"Come on, lets kill that over there, hmm? HMMM?"
- in the middle of the Order of the Radiant Heart building

"Mmmm, tastes like chicken"
- Minsc scoring a critical against Firkraag

I really liked the Spectator, that funny beholder on the Sauhagin city. Cool guy :)

Talking about that sword, my highlight was when I sent Minsc attacking one of the lich and the sword went "You feel lucky, punk?"

Another one is about him/it going on about the fact that he wasn't an axe and/or that once he was a moonblade.

Kyrn

Did you notice that Rumar's 'girlfriend' upstairs in the Copper Coronet is Priss - a replicant android from the all time great (IMHO) movie Bladerunner?

i liked minsc saying "feel the burning stare of my hamster and change your ways!"
i had been naughty, of course.

got another one: Jan yelling at the guards "Bottom-feeding, turnip-hating, scum-sucking brigand!" ...ever played Duke Nukem 3D :))??

Another one about Jan (man is he popular)......When he tells the story of how his cousin would tell jokes to get himself out of dangerous situations. At the end he said his cousin "had a real zinger," but unfortuately the griffon still ate him.

Lilicor when he said
"Well since you asked, I would like to register a complaint, I want to kill a dragon. Go find one now. Thats it. Find it and KILL it. Right now. That would be, like, sssoooo coool!"
or when he said
"I would appreciate some qaulity time in my scabbard.... aaahhhh well, WHO AM I KIDDING! MURDER! DEATH! KILLLLLLL!.... this is what i live for..." :D

How about the Cyrano de Bergerac play-off in front of the Radiant Heart?

How about the Knights of the Sword from Krynn. They are in the Planar sphere. They kind of made them panzies, hiding from the flesh eating halfings. What the hell are flesh eating halfings andyways? Sounds like the title to a Trauma film. It was fun sending the knights back to there own plane.

Flesh eating Halflings come from Dark Sun, another world created by TSR before it went under and Wizards of the Coast bought them out. In an ironic twist, it was TSR that tried to compete with Magic the Gathering (WotC) and ended up being bought out by their own competition.

Syl...

Your right Syl,
Now that you mention it I do remember Dark Sun. That's kind of going back aways. It's Kind of sad that the little upstart company bought out the grand-dady of the Genre.

Yeah. TSR formed their name by pure D&D sales, WotC sells over a large spectrum of products, but it's not that bad. If it wasn't for WotC doing what they did, we wouldn't be here today posting about Baldur's Gate. I think Dark Sun would be awesome, although I didn't particularly care for the sets they came out with before, I'm sure with the high standards BG and BG2 have brought to the RPG scene, that a new Dark Sun would be made along those same standards.

It's cool though how they have little snaps from other games. Spell Jammer ship in IWD (Kuldahar), Dark Sun Halflings in the Planar Sphere. Wonder what else is in store.

Syl...

Hopefully lots, for us old pen and paper freaks.

I would love to see a draconian, or what about a kender elf. I would really like to see a game based on Ravenloft.

I never liked Dragonlance, the world of Krynn or anything related to it. I don't know why, it simply did not appeal to me once I got my feet wet in The Forgotten Realms. A lot of people praise Dragonlance so there must be something good about it.

To me, it seemed things revolved around a group of the same characters, Raistlin, that dwarf, that cleric/wizard chick, that human male ranger (cameron was it?) rather than the world and depth itself.

Mind you, there was a game called Heroes of the Lance (PC game) that I really enjoyed, otherwise that's the only taste I ever got of DL.


Plus, I don't like Raistlin anyhow :)

Syl...

Ok the funniest thing so far to me is how your npc's say crazy comments at random and are sometimes really hilarious.
I have to admit the whole Saemon thing and the pirate lord was funny, im still looking for ole Saemon I gotta present for him grrrr.

Ok funniest part so far was we were in the saughin city in the gross bloody zombie pit, when Jaheira says something like "this place could be cleaned with a little help from nature." Ok, honey leave the bag of nature herb alone already! we're in the middle of a gross bloody zombie pit,for Tyr's sake!!

Just came across another one: The shaggy-dog story about the drow posse to steal the Sahaugin throne to surprise the Matriarch at her coronation had me giggling (as told by the drow in the tavern).

Does anyone have the habbit of making a party member strip down before you recruit their replacement?? lol ;)

I rather liked Cabros and skank dueling to the death in the bridge district and the three way conversation betwween Jan Jansen the Character and Viconia.

Not at all TelexStar. It would seem unfair to remove equipment from an NPC when they rightfully earned that equipment risking their life for you.

Syl...

Sylvus.

But what if, for example, your dumping Yoshi for Jan? In this case yoshi has those silent boots that add 25% to walking silently and 15% to hide in shadows??

(as it turs out I went back to yoshi 5 minutes later as his scouting abilities are second to none)

P.S. I think your getting too close to this NPC thing, after all, they are only just a bunch of 1's & 0's

Here's what I do:
Any really good stuff stays in the party. People who join my party sign an affidavit agreeing to this. I am not going to lose my dragonslaying equipment we parted company.

HOWEVER, you can't just strip someone down, kick them in the ass and say "you're out of here". Well, maybe YOU could but not me.

So I give them any regular armor and +1 weapons I have, make sure they have some (regular) missile weapons.

If you gave Yoshi that equipment, it's his. If you want it back, I'd say kill him for it because no NPC would simply hand over the goods they earned.

Syl...

I've got one on how I entered the asylum. I had already found the wardstone but haven't found out where to use it so I decided to pay the pirate lord a visit.

In the conversation that followed, on a whim I tried to convince him that my party should to be admitted to the asylum. I said, "Look at Minsc here." Minsc of course, took out Boo to have a look at the pirate lord and the ensuing conversation was hilarious. Needless to say, the pirate lord was convinced and sent us to the asylum straight away!

The best part is, I earned above 38,000 XPs for EACH of my party members for this neat little trick. Hurrah for Minsc, for he's a jolly good fellow......

When your in control of Drizzt he says "I Will tear him a new one!" also he says when he gets hurt "Now that will hurt in the morning" (this is when hes under your control...)

Wandering around in the government district, I had roughly this conversation occur (posting from memory), which I thought was hilarious. My character has been pursuing the Viconia romance option.

Jan: This all reminds me of the time that my aunt was having some terrible trouble with her turnip stew and she had to...

Viconia: Jsil Khalis'an, why do you travel with such as he?

Jsil: Well, it all started back when Jan and I were trying to build a giant turnip peeling device...

Viconia: I *refuse* to deal with this.

you can pick an option with the talking sword called converse. Anyway i was bored, and i use that option to see what he would say.

hey said "Find someone rich, kill him, find someone richer kill him, HACK and SLASH your way to fortune WOOHOO!"

1> I have just noticed an picture of Elvis in the Bards bar in Bridge district.

2> Nadia asking why we were trapsing around here instead of helping the less fortunate (we were clearing her home at the time - yeah sure lets go do something more worthwhile shall we dear)

3> Anomen and Jan and there banter...always good

While playing with some serious magic in the Underdark caves Edwin turned himself into an Earth Elemental. As an elemental he was too large for the cave and couldn’t move at all. When I told him to go somewhere all he did was mutter in his most indigent voice - *Leave me alone I'm busy* , while grumbling to himself - * One of these days *.

One of these days Edwin will figure it out and take over the world. For now I’m just helping him get experience.

I laughed when the talking sword said "Who's your daddy!"

...at Nalia's father's funeral.

Yoshimo trying to pick-pocket a small cat, he failed - the cat got mad and stormed out of the building, I later met the cat down in the docks...

The guy by the bar in the Copper Coronet (Sylvanus? - no relation) has a different chat up line for every female character - including 'Edwina"; and they all have a different put down.
The guy in the torture chamber at the Thieves' Guild (Bootsy?) who gets over excited about what he can do with whips and chains.

I love the snipping between Aerie, Jaheria, and Viconia like when Jaheria and Viconia are bickering and one tells the other something like, "I was talking to him, you will know when I'm addressing you because I will spit on you first" cracked me up.
Also when Viconia threatens to bring aerie into the underdark.

Hey Sylvus, to put it frankly when u change a character or drop him out. I strip him down. Its a game. YOU earned those items and if you need them put them on another character. He was the one willing ot join, whatever u give him is up to you, but its pointless to put it on something that's gonna sit in one spot for the rest of the game. IF he were to go out and do something useful while i'm gone, then i just might give them something.

But i don't take things that seriously.


TheKurgan

Toward the end of a long day of adventuring, Mazzy & Valygar:

Mazzy: "Goodman Valygar, when we next rest, please spread my bedroll confortably. And gather extra wood for the fire, it seems a bit chill."

Val: (grumble, grumble) "Ah, as you wish."

Mazzy: "My weapons seem a bit dull. If you would take care of them along with yours, thank you."

Val: (grumble, grumble) "Now, that's going too far."

Mazzy: "Why, what ever is the matter. I thought you would be pleased. After all, every knight needs a squire. I thought you would consider it quite an honor to serve me."

Val: (grumble, grumble) "Ah, well, if you would have asked that way, perhaps so..."


The whole conversation was excellent. The voices and inflections made everything crystal clear. It was hilarious!! Valygar reminded me so much of D'kkon (sp?): patiently enduring the pretentiousness of others, and yet trying to make the best of whatever comes his way.

A real Kodak moment!
:) :)

Ahh, home sweet home. Wait, I don't live here.

Jan Jansen

When I gave a beggar a GP, Minsc says some things from an oxfam advert.
(this is from memory so its not 100% right)

"Give a man a coin, and he can support himself for a day,

but give him a sword and HE CAN SPEND A LIFETIME KICKING EVIL LIBERALLYIN THE BUTTOCKS!"

-Sep

Mazzy: "You canse the wrongness in this place..." in my stronghold!

Did you look CLOSELY at Galvary's medallion on Brynnlaw?

The vampire queen's name: Bohdi, but my friends call me Dead.

When I was in Spellhold talking to Dradeel:

Jan: I know of this man, but from where? I cannot recall.

Minsc: That's a much shorter interjection than Boo has become used to, Jan. Are you Ill?

Jan: Hrmph!

I was LMAO :)

Biff the understudy in the Five Flagons. :D :D :D

Now i love this part in Baulders Gate 2.When you defeat a Behoulder it falls down to the ground and thats funny. Theirs alot of funny humor in this game

How 'bout Nevin and his Uncle Lester? They bickered 'till the bitter end!

vincenzo at the inn in Umar Hills... when you look in the room behind the counter at the inn, and find about a million copies of his little book.. :)

I like the guy in Trademeet who, if you speak to him, says how he wants to be an adventurer and if you repeatedly talk to him (like, 20 times) he asks you a different stupid questions every time.

- You ever kill a dragon?
- You like bastard swords?
- etc
- You going to start throwing stones at me now?

Then he gives you +2 sling stones and like 5000 exp. I just imagine some lonely Programmer at Black Isle putting that in the game without anyone really noticing.

Oh, you mean neeber... Just be glad you never met noober. The dialog that almost made me fall out of my chair was the conversation between haer'dalis and jahiera in waukeens promenade. The line " The only protests I respond to are hunger strikes and then only too late" gets me every time

Well, this isn't technically part of the game, but I've found it an amusing exercise in irony. Using the Cloak of the Sewers, you can change into a troll. If you are a warrior type, and have Nalia's Castle as a stronghold, you can change into a troll, and go on a rampage, killing everyone in the castle. Heh heh-reccommended for evil characters only.

Wow, this is quite the archaic post.

I kinda hoped to see a post of mine from when I first came to the boards(when this was a new thread).

Well, not in-game, but in-boards . . . Gonzaga's reply to topic: Bug? Nalia a spider forever. . . third down from top. I agree, she would like that. And, I think you should facilitate by turning into a troll (via sewer cloak) to do it. Ahhhh, Karma.

Oh God I loved that beholder. Oh...and of course Edwin and his old girlfriend.
Liacor is hilarious too.
" And grandma said I would never amount anything greater than a butter knife"
" Do you feel lucky punk?!"
" I LOVE the smell of daisies in the morning!"
I also love some of the completely wacky conversation choises you have.
My favorite has to be:
" To hell with it. Right you are Minsc!
We put evil in a box and label it not-to-be-opened-'til-midwinterfest!" or something like that.
And this: (from BG1 when the amish emmisary ironically ask's if you are dimwit like the rest of the people in the building))
" Hello I'm Dimwit. And this is my friends Braindead and moron."

LOL! I remember that convo. Here's another one, I can't remember it too well but anyways:
Spector Beholder(or something like that): I guard this chest forever.
Me: Why?
Spector Beholder: Because I have to.

i've had the sewer sword say "who's your daddy" before and i cacked up laughing

Out-of-game= A mpeg of a man shocking himself with a 200,000 volt stungun.

In-game= Minsc started ranting with crazy analogies to my character, something about Evil being grass and Minsc the lawnmower? Almost that crazy. My character's only response was "ohh kayy..."

I had just completed the Umar Hills quest when Minsc said, "Look Boo, squirrels! Quick! Throw some nuts at them!" And Jaheria snaps at him to be more graceful in nature. :P

In Brynnlaw in the Pirate lord's home when you try to convince him that you're crazy and let Minsk talk to him and the pirate lord asks:
"Why are you pointing that hamster at me?"

I also like when Viconia tells Jan that he has a poisonous spider on his neck and Jan starts to scream that he is too young to die.

Viconia said something hilarious to me today.
semi-accurate quote-

"The pleasures of the flesh haven't been lost on you Tenalt. I am glad. I had thought your labido as barren as a Northern monk's"

Lilarcor always makes me laugh.

Korgan's omelette line when Aerie has her baby in ToB (something about him being dissappointed that elves didn't have babies from eggs, because he was in the mood for an omelette).

Valygar in the government district. (this is vaguley what they said)
Noble: Oh, Valygar! How's your mother?
Valygar: She turned into a lich and I chopped her head off.

You and Anomen in the Copper Coronet.
You: Where did you get that horrible accent? Have you been reading too many romance novels?! (Hehehe.....)

Dungeons & Dragons pics at the back of Ribald's shop. God I hated that unicorn...

The darkest period in D&D's history... :D

[This message has been edited by Divine Shadow (edited August 02, 2001).]

...Anomen saying his line about "this is the worst pool of evil and corruption if ever I saw one" (or something like that) just as he enters the hall of the radiant heart to receive his knighthood..... LOL

...and finding the picture of Elvis in the back of the Shadow thieves place ... and a picture of Imoen in the painter shop in the promenade, while saying that "nothing here interests you"...

... and the scenes outside the radiant heart with the lady knight, the stupid bard and his gnome friend - taken straight from that film - what has the name.. cyrano or something...?

Okay .. here we go .. i have laughed alot in this thread.. but here's one.. (should maybe be in the ToB section) When the (young) adventures in one of the bhaal spawns hideout comes back with the .. uhm was it a eye.. ? i laughed.. u gotta check it out

Hey Blue, that stupid bard is Garrick from Bg1.

Brave Brave Sir Garrick, Sir Garrick led the way! BRAVE BRAVE Sir Garrick, Sir Garrick ran away.

LOL I love that.

[This message has been edited by Frog (edited August 04, 2001).]

Frog, "sir" usually represents as a knight. Gerrick is a bard. Not a knight.

Once Lilarcor sword said (80% right ;)):"Come onnnn! Let's get on doing something. Find someone rich and kill... find someone richer just kill...find someone richest still kill!!!"

Shadow_thief, I always thought that line of Garrick's was a nod to Sir Robin the not-so-Brave from Monty Python's Holy Grail (the one with the annoying minstrels), so maybe that's why they put the Sir in.

The male prostitute on the pirates ilands, if your a male character he tells you hes not into that kinda thing but he knows some or are or summing.

Then the female one saying, "your friends can come up as well if they like to watch" or something like that anyway.

That elf in the Copper Coronet who comes onto anything female (Salvanas). Talk to him with Jaheira, Viconia, Aerie, anything else female, and watch him be cruelly rebuffed.... :D

Jan's haughty disdain for Bertrand the "Companion" ; Gnomish gigolo. Heh...

Maybe wandering off the original area slightly, but a hasted party who subsequently fail to save vs horror is pretty funny to watch, even if it does mean your butt is being liberaly kicked

Viconia: minsc, that tattoe on your face. does it have tribal significance or did some nursery's fingerpainting class assault you with blue pastel?

Minsc: i do not like the tone of your voice, dark elf! The face i have is the face the ladies love! Boo loves Minsc's face, too. Don't you Boo? Don't you? Yeeeeeesssss.

jaheira "nature could find a home here, if it were properly cleansed and balanced" - in druid grove
