    I've been playing BG2 quite a bit recently and noticed a few things that I missed the first two times through. They are all fairly minor things though so nothing to get excited about:

    - The priest in Trademeet that (SPOILER) gets mixed up in the Mazzy quest is called Barl. Isn't that pronounced the same as Bhaal. Linked into the poor Bhaal-spotting exploading man in the pub in Trademeet and an over active imaginiation and you have a conspirecy theory developing.

    - I pickpocket Taquee outside the Dao Djinni tent in Trademeet and he has a bottle of Efreeti summnoning - your own Genie in a bottle.

    - Have you tried clicking several times on any of the town criers in the city. The response is another exmaple of BG2 humour.

    - How does Keldorn manage to have so many conversations with other NPCs where he is blatantly insulting to them but gets away with it and even ends up seeming nice. Even I am beginning to warm to the bloke especially after his sing-a-long with Yoshimo about the succubus (took me back to my Rugby playing days).

    Eeek - I've just noticed I've gone from sleek agile wolf to gorrible beer-bellied ugly thing. Oh well it's a more realistic interpretation of me. :(

    The avatars are not supposed to represent you, but the creatures you fight (in most cases).

    So an ettercap ripper would be someone who rips ettercaps, a skeleton smasher someone who smashes skeletons, etc.
    I guess I should have been more careful since there are a few exceptions to this especially in the lowest ranks... But it's pretty consistent higher up. ;)

    So Tal, you're saying I'm in fact a Goblin Chief that rips Ettercaps?

    Lucky me... ;)

    Hooray, I can finally kill something bigger than goblins. What a level for a halfgod to be stooping to. *sigh*

    Wait a minute, I'm not even killing these morons? I'm only herding them!! What sort of Bhaalspawn am I??

    And what about me? I hang about outside wolves' lairs in a dirty mac! You could be herding them to the slaughter or something.

    Ok, let's cut the crap.

    Tal, your idea about our jobs in form of avatar was good, however we're all identifying ourselves with avatars. Can you please leave it that way? So there will be real Goblin Chief who leads goblins, not some guy who is manically affected in wasting goblins?

    [​IMG] Post all your ideas in the corresponding topic in Whatnots. If it's there, I'll take it into consideration when I redo them. But I can't collect suggestions from all over the boards. Well, I can, but I'll forget half of them by the time I sit down to do it.
    So, again, go there and express your feelings.
